Beabadoobee has witnessed somewhat of a meteoric rise in recent times. From the artist's early shows in the region in venues like Think Tank in Newcastle in 2019, in a short period, Beabadoobee’s current UK tour brought her to the prestigious O2 City Hall. And like all the rest of the dates on this run, Wednesday night's show was a complete sell-out.

Approaching the venue, it was immediately apparent that there was anticipation in the air for Beabadoobee’s arrival. Fans queued around the block outside the O2 City Hall to secure their spots in front of the stage.

Brooklyn-based quartet Momma opened the proceedings at around 7.30 pm. The band possessed a very 90s-leaning alternative rock sound, a similarity which they shared with the headliner. Subsequently, Momma was the perfect precursor for the rest of the evening's festivities.

Beabadoobee is touring in support of her new album, This is How Tomorrow Moves. That being a record which saw the artist team up with legendary producer Rick Rubin.

The stylish headliner took to the stage bedecked in black shorts, knee-high boots and a blue top as the show got underway with California, Talk and 10:36. Atmospheric strobe lights pulsated as the band blasted their way through the opening numbers.

The stage set initially had quite a minimal aesthetic, as though the area was being decorated. Step ladders, a table and white sheets were strewn around the stage. Although it continued to evolve and transition with projections and lighting as the night progressed.

You could feel the love in the room for Beabadoobee. Constant shrieks of excitement resonated around the O2 City Hall with every move, gesture or comment from the artist. And the feeling was mutual. Beabadoobee said to her fans: “I love you guys so much. Thank you for loving This is How Tomorrow Moves. It means a lot to me.”

A large percentage of the set was pulled from the artist's latest offering, with nine tracks from the record featuring. This included Girl Song, Take a Bite and Real Man, to name but a few. And even though these songs are still relatively fresh, the fans knew every word.

The infectious melody of Sunny Day transported the audience to warmer climes, perhaps festival season. Whilst Beabdoobee’s transcendent voice radiated around the room during a dreamy rendition of Ever Seen. The Perfect Pair proved to be a fan favourite with the audience singing at the tops of their lungs from the opening note.

With the rest of the band off stage, Beabadoobee switched up the proceedings with a stripped-back solo performance of old favourite Coffee. Before being accompanied on piano during Girl Song.

Every time the fashionable singer spoke, the audience cheered. Beabdoobee had the room in the palm of her hands all night long. By her admission, Beaches is one of the artist's favourite songs to perform live. The song is so catchy; it's easy to understand why.

As the headliner hurtled towards the end of the show, it was time to rock out with the inclusion of tracks such as Care and a euphoric airing of She Plays Bass. Cologne perfectly concluded the main set.

Wednesday night’s concert illustrated not only Beabadoobee’s phenomenal rise but also her musical evolution and the vast sonic landscape which her repertoire encompasses.

It’s not surprising that the artist’s latest album rocketed to Number 1 in the UK Album Chart. Based upon Wednesday night’s performance in Newcastle, she is surely following the path of Dirty Hit labelmates The 1975 and Wolf Alice. Perhaps only time will tell.
