The polarising “212” singer kicked off her short tour of the United Kingdom at the O2 Academy Brixton, with The Guardian giving the tour opener four stars out of five, going on to say “The show probably could have benefitted from a little dressing, but it’s a credit to Banks’s talent that she can carry the atmosphere of an academy on her tiny shoulders.” 

“In an era of elaborate multimillion dollar pop tours, Banks takes music back to its raw elements. All she needs is a mic and a stage.”

The tour is the first time Banks has performed in the United Kingdom since 2019, when the maligned artist took to the stage at Electric Brixton around a time media scrutiny against the performer was reaching its peak.

It was around this time period that  Banks was known for her provocative social media presence, frequently engaging in online feuds and making inflammatory comments. She targeted various celebrities and public figures, including Lizzo, Lana Del Rey and others, which sparked backlash.

Meanwhile the topic of her “spiritual rituals” were brought up after she posted a video on social media that showed her digging up and boiling the remains of her dead cat. Many people found the video disturbing, and she was widely criticised for it. Banks claimed the act was part of a spiritual ritual, but it led to further public outrage.

But while there has been some calm behind-the-scenes so far with Banks, her performances have been anything but calm; but where is Banks performing this week and are their tickets still available to see her on one of her rare UK performances?
