Australian singer-songwriter, Kid Laroi, brings his ‘The First Time’ tour to Manchester Apollo, 17th April. It was a night filled with energy, excitement, and memorable moments.

Sam Tompkins, a British contemporary R&B Pop singer-songwriter took to the stage for a 30 minute showcase of his raw talent, setting the scene with a powerful performance.
After a flash of white, Kid Laroi, jumped onto the stage, Kid Laroi's performance at the Manchester Apollo sounds like it was quite the experience! Starting off with "SORRY" while donning a retro Manchester United shirt definitely stirred up some emotions in the crowd. It's interesting how he embraced the mixed reactions, using it to fuel his performance even more. Engaging with the audience and even inviting a fan on stage shows a genuine connection and appreciation for his fans. And let's not forget the playful touch of performing with a blow-up doll of himself – he knows how to keep the energy high and the atmosphere buzzing.

Halfway through the setlist the crowd were given a more intimate vibe, allowing his raw talent and emotive vocals to shine through. The contrast between the high-energy performances and these stripped-back acoustic renditions added depth to the overall experience, showcasing Kid Laroi's versatility as an artist.

Kid Laroi certainly knows how to leave a lasting impression! Ending the concert with some of his most iconic hits like "STAY" featuring Justin Bieber, "TOO MUCH" featuring Central Cee and Jung Kook, and "WITHOUT YOU" was the perfect way to close out the night which led to an explosive response from the crowd.

What a way to finish strong! A mosh-pit-inducing encore performance of "WHAT WENT WRONG???" Kid Laroi knows how to keep the adrenaline pumping until the very end. Stepping off the stage after such an electrifying performance left the crowd buzzing with excitement.
