There's something special about seeing an artist deliver a performance that feels almost too big for the room. At The Roxy in Los Angeles, LØLØ brought her God Forbid a Girl Spits Out Her Feelings tour to life with pop-punk energy, a polished production, and a crowd ready to sing through every emotion.
The excitement was building before doors ever opened. A line stretched down the block, filled with fans bringing their own takes on LØLØ's signature look. Inside, The Roxy was packed shoulder to shoulder, with little room to move even during the opening sets.
Sydney Sherrill opened the evening with a touch of Texas charm. Dressed in sparkly boots, she danced and spun across the stage, bringing a lively personality to her pop-rock-inspired sound. Mylie Taylor followed with a heavier set. Backed by drummer Jaden Spanier and electric guitarist Marco Stassi, they set a gritty tone with a darker edge. Her smooth vocals and catchy melodies paired with a commanding stage presence that kept the audience engaged. These openers primed us for the evening ahead.
LØLØ took the stage and immediately exceeded my expectations. I anticipated a lively pop-punk set, but she brought something much more ambitious. Seeing her on her own headlining tour revealed the full scope of what she can create. Tracks with diary entries, recorded conversations, theatrical introductions, and carefully arranged transitions turned this collection of songs into a cohesive production.
Her energy was contagious. She jumped off platforms, let her hair fly, and danced the whole evening. Her band brought a driving pop-punk sound, with distorted guitars and punchy rhythms filling the room. Even with all that movement, her vocals never seemed to suffer. Her songs are lyrically driven, and her vocal agility brought those words to life.
Throughout the set, LØLØ was funny, candid, and comfortable talking to the room. She joked between songs, shared personal experiences, and even brought some fans on stage. There was a constant push and pull throughout her performance, moving between humor, vulnerability, softer moments, and heavier arrangements. Each shift brought another side of her personality into focus.
One of the evening's memorable shifts came when LØLØ slowed things down for an acoustic performance of "Hey There Delilah", accompanied by her friend Gus. The fact that she was crowned the official "Delilah" on Plain White T's' 2026 re-release of the song made this moment especially meaningful. The stripped-back arrangement offered a change of pace, putting her vocals front and center and giving the audience a quieter moment amid a very energetic night.
Stripped back or turned all the way up, the crowd was right there with her. Fans brought their own styles and personalities into The Roxy, and throughout the night, they weren't afraid to let loose. Songs about relationships, frustration, and heartbreak became opportunities to dance, scream, and sing together.
There is clearly something bigger happening here. A polished production, a confident performance, and a die-hard crowd all suggest that LØLØ is ready for much larger rooms. But this night in Los Angeles offered something special: a chance to experience her performance up close, surrounded by people who knew every word and weren't afraid to express themselves. God forbid a girl spits out her feelings. Fortunately, The Roxy didn't seem to mind.
