She played this on Monday night - honestly the weirdest gig I've ever been to, thought I'd dropped some really bad acid and travelled into some crazy sci-fi future.....wrote about it on the review thread.....
Nothing - just Venus as a Boy. Honestly, it was so strange. Her last album, Utopia, is focused on a post-apocalyptic future brought about by climate change and she thinks humans and animals will merge into hybrid mutant beings....lots of strange instruments, noises, crazy dancing, an echo-chamber on stage, a choir singing in Icelandic (for 20 minutes....). It was billed as a theatrical performance, which it was, but I didn't really have a clue what was going on, and although I enjoyed it, think I would much rather have seen her do a hits tour. She aas an amazing voice though, one of the best female singers I've seen perform. Great speech on the screen by Greta Thunberg during the break before encore performance!
Sounds strange.... She's always been a little strange though! Liked her early stuff, including some Sugarcubes stuff
