Over the course of their career, LP has released six studio albums, the most recent being "Churches" (2021), and has discovered a group of dedicated and committed supporters who brought their passion to the Apollo for an incredibly memorable gig.

Taking the stage alongside guitarist Alex Feder, LP began their set with "When We Touch", moving into "Goodbye" and "Girls Go Wild", and changing between guitar and ukulele, even utilising whistling at some points. Being in amongst the crowd and LP's supporters, it was immediately clear they have a cult following of loyal fans.

As the performance progressed, the entire venue grew moved by LP's powerful vocals and meaningful lyrics, compelled to move about more, even up in the seats. Feder showed fantastic showmanship on guitar, complimenting the set and happily communicating with the crowd.

As we arrived at the encore, LP delivered a beautiful rendition of their song "Recovery", creating a tender moment for all in the venue, before ending on hit single "Lost on You".

Immersed in the atmosphere of the audience, it was clear to me that LP has derived a community of likeminded fans, and seeing them put on such a great performance only confirmed their adoration.
