Troye Sivan, Australian pop icon, is taking his sophomore album Bloom on tour across Europe and the UK right now. The first show was last night (February 23rd) at the O2 Academy in Glasgow.

I finally (!!) saw Troye live and wow. Speechless. Shook. Jaw is on the FLOOR. What an amazing performer.
I’ve been a fan since around 2012 back when he was just a YouTuber and boy has he bloomed, pun intended. I missed him last time he toured and I was heartbroken but this show more than made up for it.
First off, that entrance though! Instead of coming out on the stage he started off up on one of the balconies in amongst members of the crowd which I thought was amazing.
His visuals were so cute – the lights were pretty, and he had a couch and loads of lamps onstage which was interesting, especially during slower songs like Postcard. Here’s some pictures I took.
My personal highlights were the transition from Wild into im so tired, Heaven, Postcard and My My My! which turned into what can only be described as a miniature rave. Lucky Strike and Plum live were also unreal and The Good Side almost had me crying because it was just so pretty.
Also, I’ve never seen an artist so amused by the usual crowd chants and Troye was so involved it was the most wholesome thing I’ve ever seen. He even joined in on a drinking game – when in Rome, as they say.
Honestly cannot recommend going to a Troye Sivan concert enough! I had such a laugh and he’s one of those artists where, even if you knew zero songs, he’s energetic enough that you have a great night anyway.
Love always, Fiona X
