Fantastic run with @mallavoramusic. First tour on my own lil desk and I never knew I could have so much fun and feel so immovable and consistent. All the love to band and crew for a massive effort - was incredibly special doing an immersive installation on top of the gig and seeing everyone come together to pull it off.

Big up @sixthwonderband for bossing it every night, huge thanks to Rowan, Jamie, Tom and Melvin for the in-house tech assistance every night, and to all venue crews for being accommodating. Wish we could do this again and again and again!

That's a wrap on the What If Better Never Comes? UK headline tour 2026! It was very special for us to tour our debut album, bring our vision to life and meet so many of you at these shows. Each night surpassed our expectations and we honestly loved every minute. We appreciate you all. 🖤

Huge love to @sixthwonderband who were amazing every night and so lovely to tour with.

Massive thank you to our fantastic crew who didn't bat an eyelid when we told them we were bringing surround sound and projection mapping to these shows. We couldn't have done this without you.

@greenlungband headlined Desertfest in May with a mega set that I Ioved designing for and then op-ing/dancing/screaming along to.

Green Lung always involve a host of incredible creatives in their projects and on this show, they had mega visuals that added a whole new layer to the production; made by @josephsbrett , which encorporated reanimations of work by the unmistakable @slippery_jack. So wicked.

Many hands make lights work; thank you to the most patient and hardworking legend, @kolmikonproductions, for tech-ing and prep-ing.

The ray of sunshine, @sammyhoo__ , who helped us out with hiring an amazing floor package and a went coffee run exactly when we needed it!

All of my fellow crew members that crushed this (and every) show; Ollie, Sam, Lyle, Chris, Goatie Boi (MJ)

Thank you to the mighty Green Lung for having me onboard; their new album Necropolitan is out and is a must listen, particularly if you plan on exploring any London cemeteries or spending any with me any time soon.

Green Lung - Necropolitan just debuted at #25 in the official UK charts and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this heavy metal masterpiece!!! Thank you so much to the band for trusting me with your creative vision and the boss man @iandickinson for always having me along for the ride! You’ll never work a day in your life if you love your job 💜

Desertfest 2026: The Fall of Gary Doorway.

Life started moving at 100mph immediately after Desertfest and to be honest it hasn’t slowed down since.

So here I am four months later, celebrating one of my favourite festivals of the year.

And the only thing bigger than the riffs I saw that weekend, was my heart after getting to do it all with some of my favourite people.

“Gary Doorway Will Return In Avengers: Doomsday”
