Live4Ever - Our Year In Review 2024

2024 was billed as the biggest year ever for democracy, with more than four billion people casting votes to elect leaders and governments.

Inevitably it was a mixed bag; while the UK is finally free of Conservative rule after 14 years, the United States has regressed eight years and brought back Donald Trump to oversee what will be a turbulent four years at home and abroad.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine may be the first consequential decision of Trump 2.0, yet all eyes are on his actions (if any) regarding the increasingly worrisome situation in the Middle East.

Oh, and Mother Nature continues to push back at speeds that humanity continually fails to comprehend, let alone manage, but we don’t talk about that, do we?

In our safe space, the Oasis reunion will likely dominate discourse next year in the same way it has the last four months of this, but for those not of a Gallagher persuasion 2024 has been another year of evolution in music.

Now it has been normalised, AI has been embraced by the likes of Grimes and The Weeknd, introducing software into their craft (although, obviously, The Beatles did it first), despite reservations from their peers.
