London Grammar at All Together Now 2025: A surprise duet and a rapturous ending from Saturday's headliners
London Grammar Main stage, Saturday ★★★★☆ London Grammar 's dreamy electropop has the quality of a lullaby performed at a rave, a combination of gently blissful melodies and blitzing beats that proves the perfect mix on night two of All Together Now . A lot has changed for the band since their last Irish festival performance, three years ago. Most notably, Hannah Reid , the band's singer, and her Irish partner have had a son, an experience that informed London Grammar's 2024 LP, The Greatest Love. That album was a not wholly successful attempt to push into new territory: the songs were slower and leaned more on Reid's powerful voice. There was lots to admire, but it lacked the rush of feeling that characterised formative hits such as the harrowing Wasting My Young Years. Tasteful and sometimes tedious, the record was not the stuff of thrilling festival sets, and in their Saturday headline slot London Grammar wisely focus on their older songs, beginning with the woozy double whammy of Hey Now and Californian Soil. READ MORE Reid, who has experienced stage fright, isn't a natural attention seeker. But she has a slowly fizzing charisma on the urgent How Does It Feel, a meditation from 2021 on the dark side of the music business. A charge sometimes directed at London Grammar is that their music is mannered to a fault. But no such accusation could be made against this gripping set. As well as their cover of Nightcall, by the noirish French producer Kavinsky – a hypnotic banger made to be listened to cruising down a motorway at 3am, and perhaps best known for soundtracking the opening credits to Nicolas Winding Refn's film Drive – the night features a surprise and moving duet between Reid and the Co Kildare singer Gemma Cox. It ends with the rapturous fade out of Lose Your Head, a chunk of sublime electronica that the band work into a techno belter. It's lapped up by an enthusiastic main-stage crowd. As the second night of All Together Now draws to a close, it's clear that London Grammar are speaking the audience's language.

CMAT at All Together Now 2025: This powerhouse set could be the performance of the festival
CMAT Main stage, Saturday ★★★★★ What a summer it has been for Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, aka CMAT , the country-pop sensation from Dunboyne, in Co Meath. In June she accidentally conquered the internet after her tune Take a Sexy Picture of Me inspired a dance trend on TikTok dubbed the Woke Macarena. Shen then went viral all over again when the title track from her upcoming third album, Euro-Country, gave a starring role to the Omni shopping centre in Santry, in north Co Dublin. Euro-Country is a melancholy song about the ruinous death of the Celtic Tiger. But the lyrics burn hot as CMAT plays it for the first time at the end of her rollercoaster main-stage turn at All Together Now , which immediately stakes a claim as performance of the weekend. She explains that many of Ireland's present-day challenges are a result of the crash of 2008. How strange that such a seismic event has inspired so little art and instead been quietly put away in the psychological drawer Irish people reserve for Things We Don't Talk About. READ MORE Letting it get to my head @cmat 😔 But Thompson has plenty to say on Euro-Country as she conjures with the ghost of the follies of the boom years with lyrics about populist politics and the devastating aftermath. CMAT is a charismatic performer, and her music bears a lot more emotional weight than her upbeat persona might initially suggest. She opens with Have Fun!, a seemingly celebratory tune that takes as its starting point reports of parakeet colonies gone wild in London but is also about getting over a difficult break-up: she is smiling but with sadness in her eyes. All Together Now 2025: CMAT on stage on Saturday night. Photograph: Kieran Frost/Redferns All Together Now 2025: CMAT on stage on Saturday night. Photograph: Kieran Frost/Redferns There is humour, too. Her song The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station is inspired by her experience of seeing the television chef's likeness in motorway service stations across Britain. She grew to hate his grinning mug. The track is about her coming to terms with the fact that those emotions are her problem, not Oliver 's. Thompson isn't one for holding back. She laughs when someone in the crowd holds up a large 'CMAT for president' sign, written in Irish, and speaks passionately about the assault on trans rights across the western world. Saturday-evening sunshine has turned to shadows as the set draws to a close: the perfect metaphor for CMAT, the shiny pop star whose music glitters with dark depths during this powerhouse set.

Poem of the Week: My Mother at the Window
(after Solmaz Sharif) My mother at the window, waiting for the rain to clear so she can hang out the damned washing. My mother at the window, thinking of her first boyfriend, wondering if he is thinking of her. My mother at the window, trying to recall how long ago her dreams of Hollywood stardom died. My mother at the window, revising her latest poem, which she will burn after reading it to the dog. My mother at the window, waiting for her three children to come home, wondering what to feed them, if anything. My mother at the window, waiting for my father to cycle by, carrying his ex-girlfriend on the crossbar. My mother at the window, wondering what the parish priest would say if he knew of her Communist sympathies. My mother at the window, watching the Angel of Death, three doors down, catching his eye as she winks at him. My mother at the window, seeing that the rain has cleared to brilliant sunshine, staying at the window. Murphy's latest collection is The Humours of Nothingness (Dedalus Press, 2020)
