Last week, Pale Waves brought their whirlwind UK and European Kiss Me Tour to a roaring, triumphant close at London’s historic KOKO. With standout openers Sistra and Boyish, the night quickly became an electric celebration of women and queer voices shaping the modern alternative music scene.
Beneath the Camden venue’s soaring balconies and glittering lights, frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie commanded the stage with effortless magnetism, leading the band through a razor-sharp, emotionally charged set that seamlessly bridged 2000s pop-punk energy with shimmering 1980s indie-pop hooks. Between the fervent singalongs, soaring guitar riffs, and undeniable crowd connection, it was a fittingly anthemic finale to an unforgettable tour run.
