Tom Grennan came to Nottingham on March 17 and 2018 me would have been fangirling if I knew I would finally be seeing him in concert.

Becoming a fan in 2018 after his first album ‘Lighting Matches’ and particularly the song ‘Something In The Water’, I was very excited to see him last night.

It’s been a while since I saw an artist in a concert, rather than a band, and Tom Grennan did not disappoint.

Joining the stage with ‘If Only’ from his 2021 album ‘Evering Road’, he perfectly set the tone of the show with this upbeat song which got the crowd dancing along with him.

The band all matching with sleek black suits and himself with a bright two-piece set, although quickly taking his shirt off, which he mentioned it’s always the mums who love that.

Staging consisted of an influx of fire, confetti and large screens which showed his performance and graphics throughout.

His talent truly shined through playing ‘Prayer’ when his husky and deep voice held on to his notes, he sounded phenomenal.

Along the show, he bought out one of his opening acts Gracey for ‘Not Over Yet’, a collab with KSI, and his backing singer Angel, whose name is a perfect match for her voice.

Tom spoke about his love for Nottingham, from playing Rock City last year to now playing Motorpoint Arena, he also mentioned his love for Nottingham club, Stealth: “I used to go Stealth getting absolutely larried.”

Having a laugh with the crowd, taking BeReal’s, promising to get a selfie with a girl who’s this was her first ever concert and cracking jokes to fans.

Finishing the concert with Holly, a fan from the crowd who held a sign asking to sign ‘A little Bit of Love’ with him.

And that’s exactly what they did.

His new album ‘What Ifs & Maybe’s’ will be released June 9, which he gave us a sneak peak with treating us to a new song.

Thank you so much Motorpoint Arena for this exciting opportunity and an absolutely sensational night.
