Turku, Finland (August 6, 2021) ”There are no perfect live shows.” Mew: ”Hold my smørrebrød.” Someone wrote this on Twitter right after the show, and it’s funny because it’s kind of true.

Funnily enough, it was fairly easy to get to the front if you just walked there ten minutes before showtime. This has…
