Words, Review & Photography Credit: Grace Wearn St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton - an incredible 35,000 cap venue located on the South Coast.

Just weeks after landing his third UK Number 1 album, Everywhere I Went Led Me to Exactly Where I Didn’t Want to Be, Tom Grennan rolled into London’s O2 Arena and delivered a set that was equal parts stadium spectacle and emotional release.
