This past weekend, Southampton based goth-punks Creeper headlined their largest- UK show to date selling out the Roundhouse in London. The event was billed as a one of a kind showcase entitled 'When The Sun Comes', the one-off show closed the current chapter of the band whilst bringing in their new upcoming era.

With this being the biggest headline show yet for the band, they’ve pulled out all the stops. A movie screen showing horror film style footage accompanied by spooky music drops kicks off the evening followed by arguably excessive amounts of pyro as the band enter the stage.

As frontman Will leads a classic arena chant to take command of the sold-out, three-thousand plus capacity room, there is the sense that this will be a special night not only for the fans but within the bands history thus far.

Such a career highlight show for the band required an all killer no filler setlist, with which Creeper easily delivered. Opening with an old fan favourite VCR, it was followed by a greatest hits run through of hit tracks such as, Black Mass, Born Cold, Misery, Crickets and more.

Creeper have a tendency to finish shows with a florist, and this was no exception with a surprise ending that made a few lose their head...

What this all means for the next stage of Creeper going forward, we have no clue, but following the decapitation of frontman Will Ghould the band released a new single 'Ghost Brigade", which you can hear below!

With live shows scheduled in Australia later this month and a performance at Slam Dunk in 2023, there's no doubt that the mysterious Creeper will have more surprises in store for us soon…
