Tonight is one of those rare occasions in which a band that is on the verge of exploding, play a venue a little too small for them. As the queue winds around, and around, the Newcastle O2 Academy, it gets less and less likely that we'll get to hear openers The Friday Night Boys. But, we hear the headliner's frontman Alex Gaskarth was the one to discover them, so you can only imagine they'll fit right in with tonight's bill.

By the time we've made our way into the crowd, there is but a little wait until old favourites The Audition bound onto stage. And whilst vocalist Danny Stevens usually finds comfort in running around, or sometimes even jumping off things, tonight he appears a little more subdued after an ankle injury he received on the Europe leg of the tour.

However, injuries or none, The Audition are on top form tonight. Stevens' vocals sound fantastic despite also having a cold, sounding especially good on the band's new material. Old material such as 'You've Made Us Conscious' and 'Warm Me Up' incite excited dancing throughout the crowd and the volume of the singalongs shows that their three previous trips to the UK this year have paid off. The new material sounds great and even the unexpected acoustic rendition of 'Los Angeles' goes down a treat.

The band even manage to throw in a superbly fun cover of Katy Perry's 'Hot N Cold', showcasing just how easily the lines between pop punk and the pop charts can be successfully blurred nowadays. As they finish on an incendiary version of 'Don't Be So Hard', The Audition leave the stage having set the bar pretty high for what's to come next.

As tonight's main act take to the stage, the entire crowd goes wild, the floor bouncing along with their screams. In fact, I’m not sure if the word ‘wild’ truly captures how insane the crowd’s reaction is to these four men.

All Time Low open with ‘Lost In Stereo‘, from their latest offering 'Nothing Personal', and there's - remarkably - not a kid in the room not singing along. When they then launch into their massive ‘Six Feet Under The Stars‘, the crowd are still hysterical and I‘m unsure if anyone has actually taken a breath yet.

The show continues in this sort of style, with the band showcasing tracks from all eras of their career so far. Third song ‘Jasey Rae’ stands firm as an oldie but a goodie, while ‘Poppin’ Champagne’ incites dancing pits throughout the entire room. The band swagger confidently through the new songs on their setlist too, showing any cynics that their new album is much, much better when performed live. Genuinely, ‘Stella’ and ‘Break Your Little Heart’ take on a new dimension in this environment, and whilst the album may seem a little too typical, these renditions are truly great.

It is at this point that the momentum is slightly broken, and the acoustic guitar comes out for a chill-worthy performance of ‘Remembering Sunday’, which sees frontman Alex Gaskarth’s vocal abilities truly tested as he tackles this alone. But, it is fantastic.

The rest of the show seems to blur past the audience in a rush of adrenaline-fuelled pop-punk goodness, with all of their best tracks brought out for an airing; ‘Coffee Shop Soundtrack’ in particular, sounds incredible. And whenever the band do take a breather, the banter between Gaskarth and his fellow guitarist Jack Barakat is hilariously crude, reminding us just how much they look up to the likes of Blink 182.

However, tonight is truly all about them, and that’s clearly seen from tonight’s encore. As they play their two latest hits - ‘Weightless’ and ‘Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don’t)’ - the crowd continues in its hysteria. However, last song of the night ‘Dear Maria, Count Me In’ somehow manages to exceed any previous singalong; voices raised louder than they have all night.

As the band tumble offstage, grinning madly, girls throughout the crowd nurse their throats, while the guys wipe the sweat off their foreheads, and you can’t help but know that All Time Low won’t be staying in these venues for much longer.
