Princeless Princess Tour Finale
On the 23rd of November, the O₂ Islington in London hosted the final stop of Delilah Bon’s EU/UK run, taking her latest EP ‘Princeless Princess’ out on tour, and it was a remarkable finale. This show marked her biggest headlining venue to date, and after a night like this, it’s clear there are many more to come. The performance delivered a brilliant modern-fairytale aesthetic. No, not the fake prince-charming tale, but a fierce, contemporary one where badass women took the stage, screaming, shredding and unleashing raw punk energy. The crowd matched that intensity with non-stop enthusiasm.
Opening the night was Crae Wolf, who immediately set the tone. The beddie metal-core artist stormed the stage with her band, hyping the room with call-and-response chants, jumping and singalongs. Crae Wolf revealed that her new album will drop next year, and surprised the audience with an exclusive sneak-peek performance. Highlights included the raw power of ‘Mouth’ the relentless drive of ‘Buzz Trip’ and the explosive closer ‘A Monster’ leaving the audience buzzing and ready for more. It was a standout performance, and I can’t wait to hear what she brings next year.
When Delilah Bon finally took the stage, she unleashed a new kind of fairytale, one that women and queer people have been waiting far too long to see reflected in music. Her performance wasn’t just powerful; it was furious and deeply affirming, creating a space where many felt a rare sense of belonging. One thing is certain: Delilah isn’t for everyone, and that’s exactly the point. We all know there are still gigs where toxic masculinity lingers, both on stage and in the crowd… But this show was the complete opposite: safe, loud and utterly empowering.
Delilah’s set was political, loud and overflowing with love for women and the queer community. She tore through tracks from the EP ‘Princeless Princess’ along with old-time fan favourites like ‘Witch’, ‘Maverick’, ‘I Wish A Bitch Would’ and her most explosive anthem, ‘Dead Men Don’t Rape’. She also delivered a heartfelt moment with the track ‘Not the President’ raising the progressive pride flag to cheers from the room. The crowd sang, danced and raged along, but also absorbed an empowering, uplifting energy that filled the venue with hope.
That night was unforgettable in every sense. Watching baddie metal-core artist Crae Wolf take the stage, killing it with her rhythms, and seeing Delilah Bon own the stage as a force of nature, creating space where women and queer people are seen, represented, celebrated and empowered - it was unforgettable. From the raw intensity of her powerful stage presence to the bold, daring lyrics of her new EP ‘Princeless Princess’, Delilah left the crowd not just thrilled, but inspired. In a music scene still fighting with outdated norms, her show was a reminder that rage, love and hope can coexist on stage, pointing toward the future this industry is desperately ready for.
