You know that feeling when you arrive early to a concert, just to grab a decent spot? You expect to shuffle your feet and check your phone for a bit, right? Wrong. The moment that support act hit the stage, the entire atmosphere shifted from “casual hangout” to “full-blown party.”
Hands up if you’ve ever underestimated an opening band and then spent the next hour with your jaw on the floor. Yeah, me too. The energy was so infectious that even the people queueing for overpriced nachos started bouncing along.
Who Actually Opened the Show?
Now, I won’t keep you guessing—the support act for Catfish and the Bottlemen at their Tottenham gigs was none other than the brilliant Coach Party. If you haven’t heard of them yet, don’t worry, you’re about to become obsessed. They’re a four-piece from the Isle of Wight, and they play garage-punk that feels like a sugar rush mixed with a mild electric shock.
Their riffs are crispy, their basslines are chunky, and the singer, Jess, has the kind of stage presence that makes you feel like you’re in a tiny club, not a cavernous stadium. Honestly, they reminded me why supporting acts are sometimes the best part of any concert.
