Manchester alt-country quartet Westside Cowboy play the O2 Forum Kentish Town.
Westside Cowboy play the O2 Forum Kentish Town on Wednesday 2 December, part of their biggest UK and European headline tour to date. It's their first London date of the run, and the set will draw heavily from their debut album, It Goes On, which came out on 21 August this year.
If the name is new to you, there's a reason for it. They're a Manchester alt-country quartet who formed in 2023 for the fun of it, with no plan to play gigs. The line-up is Jimmy Bradbury and Reuben Haycocks on vocals and guitar, Aoife Anson O'Connell on bass and vocals, and Paddy Murphy on drums. They went from that starting point to winning Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Competition and playing the televised Woodsies Stage, and they've spent the last year on the road supporting Black Country, New Road and Geese. Earlier in 2026, they played a sold-out UK tour of their own.
It Goes On was produced by Loren Humphrey at Greenmount Studios in Leeds, and it followed their second EP, So Much Country 'Till We Get There. Beyond the music, the band co-created 'No Band Is An Island', a Manchester collective that runs fundraising nights spotlighting local artists and issues. This tour is the first time they've taken the headline shows to this scale, with the London date falling in the middle of the run.
