The Devil Wears Prada Kill It In Plymouth


It was the third show on The Devil Wears Prada’s UK tour of 2012. Performing in Plymouth on February 10th to a sold out audience in our intimate venue that is White Rabbit.

Seeing Brotherhood Of The Lake on the bill for this tour was amazing to see, as they used to be a small Plymouth band who have actually become something big. Brotherhood Of The Lake have shown that anyone can break out and become something; you just need to try. With heavy riffs and a powerful set up, they really represented Plymouth as a whole but most importantly nationally too.  

Hailing from London, Last Witness presented a very good performance by performing tracks such as “The Void” and “Exorcism”, however, they may have forgotten what band they were supporting because they could have stepped up to the plate to match the standard that was already set earlier on. Even with this, Last Witness are a brilliant band that need to be watched.


After a long wait, The Devil Wears Prada ran on stage in front of the ragingly happy crowd. Even though this metal-core band from Ohio where initially touring their new album ‘Dead Throne’, the band performed tracks from their discography including material from their EP ‘Zombie’. The Devil Wears Prada received an unbelievable reception from the sold out Plymouth show; this was shown by the enormous brutality of the mosh pits that formed throughout their set. The room was full of sweat, dripping down from the ceiling from the fast pace and ear splitting riffs, with many gaining bruised ribs but it was obviously worth every cut and scrape to witness this heavy “Christian” band so locally.

Observing from the back of the venue with clear view, tonight seemed to be a fantastic show for The Devil Wears Prada and their support; especially that it was only their third show of their tour so far. Plymouth came out in force and proved that this city is worth more bands to come visit.
