"CUT DOWN THE ALTAR!" Spiritbox's UK live debut at Download Festival in 2022 wasn't just one of the best Download debuts since Trivium's legendary pop-up in 2005, but also set a breakneck pace for their ascent. First, they first played to a packed tent, then the following night to 800 eager fans at London's Islington Academy. Not even three years later, they're headlining a sold-out arena show to 10,000 people at the Alexandra Palace. Talk about a meteoric rise.
Of course, the timing is a little odd. On March 7, the Canadian band's much-anticipated second album Tsunami Sea will be released. Which begs the question: is tonight a celebration of what came before, or an introduction to what comes next?
