A queue that spanned across three streets and turned multiple corners greeted revellers coming to enjoy Bree Runway’s O2 forum show. The runways did not come to play in the style department, a more stylish fanbase has never been seen. In fact, the queue for the concert looked more like a queue for the runway. The excitement amongst fans was evident as Bree’s lyrics and favourite track discussions peppered the queue. The diversity amongst Bree’s fans is also glaringly evident, in races, ages, and genders. It is clear that Bree’s music has created a safe space. The show was clearly a space where flamboyance and self-expression are not only accepted, but encouraged. It was a truly beautiful spectacle and anticipation for the show was incredibly high.
Kicking off the evening was the sultry and rich vocals of Tay Iwar. He truly captivated the audience in awe, as he belted out some of his best-loved tracks. Bringing balance to the room with his effortlessly laid-back performance. By the midpoint of his set, he had the audience eating out of the palm of his hand. As he initiated a call and response and the entire venue began to join in. The vibe and energy were opposite to what we would expect of Bree, It was nice to have variety and experience Tay Iwar’s magical voice. As far as opening, he did an amazing job getting the crowd prepared for the spectacle that was about to come.
As the crowd began to grow restless, it was evident that fans were expectant of a spectacular show. Bree’s dramatic and theatrical entrance as she meandered access to a dimly lit smoke-filled stage set the tone for the rest of the show. Drama, energy, fun, and theatrics would be the theme for the remainder of the evening. As she belted out some of her best-known songs before heading into tracks that OG Runway’s were going crazy for.
During the performance, Bree was very intentional with the inclusion of the other creatives involved. Especially her dancers who were center stage at various stages throughout the night. While Bree is respected and revered by her loyal fans, it is shows like this that will no doubt place her on the global stage as one of the outstanding performers of our generation. She knows how to deliver an amazing performance. Bree captivates her audience and delivers an experience that has gained her the cult following she is currently building.
Fans who enjoyed the show do not have to wait particularly long for their next Bree fix. Her next single “Be The One” with Khalid is out this Thursday.
