The Eventim Apollo was packed on Thursday night, buzzing with anticipation as fans eagerly awaited the arrival of their favourite artist, Lauren Spencer Smith.

Warming up the stage for her were talented support acts Conor Burns and Henry Moodie, who both delivered unforgettable performances that set the tone for an incredible evening of live music.

Conor Burns kicked off the night with an electrifying, high-energy set that instantly engaged the crowd. Full of movement, he danced across the stage, making sure every corner of the venue was part of the experience.

His second son,g ‘Prized’ was a particular highlight, showcasing his vocal talent and dynamic stage presence. Conor stepped down from the stage to connect with fans along the barrier, holding hands and singing directly to them, a gesture that made the performance feel deeply personal. Even after his set ended, he remained in the crowd to hug fans, sign autographs, and hand out mementos, creating moments they won’t soon forget.

Next up was Henry Moodie, whose set was nothing short of sensational. He opened with his hit ‘You Were There For Me’, instantly sending the audience into a frenzy. With many fans in attendance devoted to both Henry and Lauren, the night felt like a double celebration. One of the most emotional moments of his performance came during his heartfelt cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Drivers License’. As phone torches lit up the venue and tears flowed, it was a powerful reminder of the unifying magic of live music.

Henry continued to deliver hit after hit and even treated fans to a debut performance of his brand-new single ‘Mood Swings’ which dropped later that evening. He closed his set with fan favourite ‘Pick Up the Phone’, leaving the crowd exhilarated and ready for the main event.

Then it was finally time for the moment everyone had been waiting for: Lauren Spencer Smith. Her stage design was striking and creative, complete with an interactive phone feature that added a unique touch to the show. The crowd erupted into deafening cheers as she stepped on stage, the energy in the room electric with excitement.

Lauren opened her set with ‘Karma’ the perfect choice to kick off the night and set the tone. After a powerful performance of ‘Narcissist’, she surprised everyone by bringing out the first special guest of the evening Anne-Marie, to perform ‘Depressed’. The unexpected collaboration sent the audience into a frenzy.

During ‘That Part’, phone torches lit up the venue, creating a deeply heartfelt atmosphere. But one of the loudest moments of the night came when she launched into her smash hit ‘Flowers’, the crowd’s singing was indescribable, and the energy was unreal.

Lauren then transitioned into the more emotional section of the set, performing ‘Small’, ‘Looking Up', and ‘Friends Don’t’. During these songs, fans clung to one another in tears, sharing vulnerability andthe emotion of the moment. That emotion was amplified when Alexander Stewart joined her on stage for ‘Friends Don’t’, creating one of the most touching highlights of the evening.

A fun and unique part of Lauren’s tour is her cover wheel, where each night a fan is invited on stage to spin a wheel and choose a surprise cover. Options included ‘Perfect’ by One Direction, ‘The Climb’ by Miley Cyrus, and ‘Always Remember Us This Way’ by Lady Gaga, the latter being London’s choice, selected by a young fan named Lola.

The night’s biggest surprise came shortly after, when Mimi Webb appeared to perform her hit ‘Good Without’. The crowd’s energy soared to an all-time high, making it a truly unforgettable moment.

After a brief encore, Lauren closed the show with her viral hits ‘Fingers Crossed’ and ‘Sticks and Stones’. It was clear how much she cares for her fans; throughout the night, she paused her set several times to help audience members who felt unwell, repeatedly reminding everyone to drink water and take care of themselves.

Overall, it was a magical, emotional, and unforgettable night, one that perfectly showcased Lauren Spencer Smith’s talent, heart, and connection with her fans.
