Hozier and Friends entice the crowd at Finsbury Park
On July 7th, 2024, Hozier played the largest show of his career at London Finsbury Park. After a very rainy and muddy start, the English weather came through and brought us a sunny evening to enjoy Hozier’s Concert. Before his show started, three amazing artists were supporting him. (...) The whole night, the fans could see that Hozier was enjoying his biggest live show to date. He was jamming his songs with big smiles and sometimes seemed very touched to play his biggest crowd to date. He sang his classics like “Like Real People Do “ or “Take Me to Church.” the whole park screamed the lyrics to the fan-titled liberation-Hymne, and LGBTQ+ flags were held up high and proud! As a surprise song, he brought the beautiful Brittney Howard back to the stage and sang a cover of “Feeling Alright” by Joe Cocker - we loved it!(...)
