On September 7, Berlin got a special treat: a two-night-only show built around the live debut of Only The Poets’ new album And I’d Do It Again.

Millichamp opened the night and did exactly what a good opener should: pull people in without trying to outshine what’s coming next. The vibe felt warm and easy and the whole crowd was singing along with him. Isaac Anderson followed and shifted the energy slightly. He made it more emotional, a bit rawer. His cover of "August" hit especially hard, with half the room instantly singing along.

When Only The Poets finally came on, the crowd was more than ready. Playing And I’d Do It Again full and in order worked extremely well live: the songs felt even bigger, louder and more immediate than on record. You could tell people were already connecting with the new album, which isn’t always the case with recent releases.

The encore flipped the switch from emotional to explosive. Dropping older fan favourites sent the crowd into full release mode; yes, even a mosh pit broke out during "Emotional", which felt both chaotic and weirdly fitting. By the end, it felt less like a standard gig and more like a one-night celebration between band and fans who knew they were part of something really special.
