Breakout artist Alessi Rose is set to electrify the capital tonight as she kicks off a highly anticipated two-night residency at London's O2 Forum Kentish Town. The 23-year-old singer brings her confessional 'Voyeur' tour to a sold-out London crowd, fresh from a triumphant performance in Manchester that showcased her raw talent and powerful connection with fans.
A Year of Relentless Success
If 2025 belongs to any artist, it is Alessi Rose. Her work rate has been nothing short of phenomenal. This year alone, she has supported Tate McRae on the North American leg of the 'Miss Possessive Tour' and joined Dua Lipa across Europe on the 'Radical Optimism Tour'. Alongside these major support slots, Rose released her critically acclaimed third EP, 'Voyeur', and delivered standout performances at major festivals including Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds.
Despite this relentless schedule, her energy remains undimmed. At the Manchester Academy, she took to the stage before a capacity crowd of 2,500 and immediately launched into a punchy version of 'That Could Be Me', setting the tone for a powerful evening of pop-rock.
The Emotional Rollercoaster of a Live Show
The beauty of an Alessi Rose concert lies in its dynamic emotional range. Her 75-minute set in Manchester was a masterclass in pacing and feeling. She followed the opening high with a spine-tingling rendition of 'Eat Me Alive', which saw the entire audience singing every word back to her.
This intense fan connection is a hallmark of her shows. Every spoken word or sung lyric was met with deafening cheers, creating an atmosphere of shared community. The setlist then navigated more intimate territory with the Gracie Abrams-inspired 'Don't Ask Questions', a song delivered with acoustic warmth that details her experiences with OCD.
Other highlights included the emotionally charged 'Bittersweet', the twangy guitar-driven 'Stella' focusing on friend disputes, and 'Dumb Girl', which brilliantly transforms uncomfortable situations into something beautiful. Rose closed the night with a blissful one-two punch of 'RIP' and 'Same Mouth', her army of fans in full voice until the very last note.
A Star on the Cusp of a Major Breakout
With her raw lyrical honesty and immense talent, it is no surprise that Alessi Rose's fanbase continues to expand rapidly. She has forged a unique bond with her audience, creating a safe space where feeling like a 'freak' is celebrated. In an ever-evolving pop landscape, the 23-year-old is unmistakably a fast-rising star poised for a definitive breakthrough, and her London shows are set to be a testament to her growing status.
