On a sweltering summer evening in Portsmouth, Jake Bugg delivered a two-part performance that balanced introspective intimacy with stadium-ready energy, reaffirming his status as one of Britain’s most compelling singer-songwriters. As part of his Your Town tour, Portsmouth Guildhall provided the perfect setting for a night that celebrated both the roots and evolution of his sound.
