Alt-pop singer Ella Red, whose hit song ‘I Like You Best’ went viral on TikTok, is the main support tonight. She might be an online sensation, but performing live is a different beast, so this is a chance to prove she can capture a real-life audience too. She floats across the stage with elegance and fluidity in an eye-catching, ballet-inspired outfit and wins over the crowd with her movement. People already know her songs are catchy earworms, but now we know she’s got the goods to bring them to life on stage too.

There was once a time when the idea of a ‘girl spitting out her feelings’ would be sneered at by just about everyone who wasn’t a heartbroken, hormonal teenager.
But LØLØ has stuck two middle fingers up to that and now, in 2026, it looks like we can finally say that being an emotional oversharer is actually really freakin’ cool.
The Canadian singer recently headlined London’s Electric Ballroom at her biggest tour show to date in support of her sophomore album, god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!, and gave a truly diverse crowd, packed with people all ages and genders, the chance to get in touch with their sensitive side.
The show opens with the singer-songwriter’s voice booming out over the speakers as she reads her journal out loud for the entire venue to hear.
It’s a fun way to kick things off and introduce the theme of the tour, which pretty much invites us into LOLO’s bedroom where leopard-print robots and a bubblegum pink-and-blue backdrop are among the decorations. She knows her brand, and she shoves it in our faces right from the jump.
After bouncing onto the stage and launching into one of her new album tracks, ‘the devil wears converse’, the audience is locked in. Her energetic stage presence and cute, choreographed routines are both captivating and endearing.
There’s a real connection between the pop-punk singer and her fans, thanks to her willingness to lay her experiences and feelings completely bare in her music. Songs like ‘me with no shirt on’ and ‘lobotomy & u’ are raw, honest and relatable, so it’s hardly surprising she’s managed to score a decent sized fairly early on in her career.
The connection is strengthened by the way she brings her fans into the show. During ‘debbie downer’, someone is invited on stage to dance along with cheerleader pom poms and, later in the set, the crowd get to choose the next song, opting for ‘hurt less’ from the 2021 EP, overkill.
While older tracks like ‘u turn me on (but u give me depression)’ and ‘faceplant’ are met with excitement, there’s still a warm reception to the new album too, which is impressive considering it was only released three weeks ago.
Live, the TikTok star is unashamedly, relentlessly girlish, in the best possible way. She leans into all the ‘girly’ tropes with a wink-wink, nudge-nudge sense of humour that the room fully understands, and we all feel like we’re in on the joke with her.
She might have a song called ‘dumbest girl in the world’, but that’s the furthest thing from the truth. LOLO is a smart, switched-on artist who knows how to pull people in with authenticity and honesty, while never losing the fun of it all.
After a touching encore of ‘wish i was a robot’, the night ends with the suckerpunch of ‘hot girls in hell’, a fiesty, funny anthem that encapsulates everything LØLØ is all about.
It’s not a stretch to say fellow Canadian punk princess Avril Lavigne walked (all the way back in the early noughties) so artists like this could run, but two decades later, LØLØ has carved out a new corner of femme pop-rock that is fresh, entertaining and entirely her own.
