No need for confetti cannons as Primal Scream hosts a career-spanning celebration at Liverpool's Mountford Hall.

      Soulful ballads such as ‘Love Insurrection’ and the vibrant, disco-influenced ‘Ready To Go Home’ stand strong next to classics, as Gillespie showcases some of his most impactful and politically charged lyrics in recent times. The most poignant example is ‘Deep Dark Waters,’ a song that directly addresses our current society and world, targeting those in power with imagery of Gaza and Trump. There's also space for some mid-set reflection as the band takes a moment for a few heartfelt ballads, honoring love and family with tracks like ‘Heal Yourself.’ These selections from the frequently played new album feel like a journey on their own, but even Gillespie can’t help but shine as the opening sample of ‘Loaded’ announces a series of crowd-pleasers, urging: “Let’s hear it Liverpool, come on.” It's clear why Gillespie still enjoys performing these songs; they truly are timeless anthems from a band that consistently follows their unique path. No need for confetti cannons in Liverpool tonight as we approach the end, because after all these years, it’s still the music that speaks for Primal Scream.
