The Five Hundred

A London concert by The Five Hundred, a heavy metal band from Nottingham, with support from the metal act Cut Short, at 229 on Great Portland Street.

The Five Hundred are a British heavy metal band from Nottingham who started out in the early 2010s. Their music combines the heavy, abrasive force of metalcore with the intricate, technical guitar writing associated with djent and progressive metal. The band's name is presented as a symbol of unity and shared strength, a theme that matches the close working relationship within the group.

Alex Baker of Kerrang! Radio has praised the band as one of the strongest acts in metal today. Cut Short support on the bill. They play dark, bleak music that fuses modern metal with the emotional intensity and melodies of metalcore.

229 is a concert venue on Great Portland Street in central London. The evening suits listeners who follow heavy, modern metal and metalcore.
