An exceptional night of musicianship and energy unfolded as Coheed and Cambria brought their spellbinding brand of progressive metal to Nottingham’s Rock City on October 22nd.

From the very first notes, the band drenched the venue in waves of intricate guitar work, thunderous drums, and cinematic melodies — a sonic world only they could create. Performing a dynamic mix of classic fan favourites and fresh material from their 2025 release The Father of Make Believe, the band proved once again why they remain one of the most imaginative forces in modern rock.
