Maisie Peters is one of the most promising vocalists around, having been signed by Ed Sheeran in her early twenties and having converted that fan base into a legion of superfans who follow and love her every move. After supporting Sheeran and Taylor Swift in recent years, Peters returned to Australia for a series of intimate concerts at the Enmore Theatre. This was somewhat of a capacity shift from her previous tour, where she sold out the Hordern Pavilion but with that said, this was not something that disappointed her fans who were glad to see her in a more intimate space.

“I’m between two eras,” said Peters. “I really wanted to make a show that reflected my journey and the places Ive been to and the songs I’ve shared and the moments we’ve made.”

Peters commenced the show with the catchy “Love Him I Don’t” to huge cheers from the audience before singing one of her biggest songs, “Lost the Breakup.” Peters sings in a style very reminiscent of Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, and especially Gracie Abrams and her earlier work is very much in keeping with this. 

“This is an industry that can prioritise newness and youth but this tour is about celebrating the journey,” she said as she introduced the crowd to her older work. 

However, this tour was not just to showcase her earlier material, but also to promote her new album, Fluorescent, which features some more upbeat writing compared to her older work. The catchy “Audrey Hepburn” was a crowd favourite, showcasing Peters’ artistry before she brought her friend Gretta Ray onto the stage to perform a medley of “Say My Name in Your Sleep” and “Silver Springs” by Fleetwood Mac, which was a nice change of pace for the audience, who very much enjoyed the cover.

“Volcano” followed, which Peters described as her band’s favourite song, before the unreleased track “Vampire Time” and another song from her latest album, “You You You” which she described as one of the only non-joyous songs on the record. This was a very short show for Peters, coming in at under an hour in length, but she made every minute count, delighting the audience with “John Hughes Movie,” which moved straight into “Two Weeks Ago.” To close out the night, she played “History of Man” and “There It Goes”, which the audience adored despite a slight lyric slip, before an extended version of “My Regards” with a dance outro (which included Ray and Abbie Chatfield) that had everyone in the crowd on their feet.

Overall, this was a show that was very much for Peters’ fans and one that they greatly enjoyed and appreciated. The show was borderline too short, with very few full-length concerts coming in under an hour, which may have meant that ticketholders felt a little short-changed but with that said Peters performed each number well and with gusto. While there has been some chat about her vocals online in recent times, this concert showed a performer developing her artistry and trying to find her place in a music industry that continues to evolve. While the singer may still be, by her own admission, between eras and evolving in her artistry and her sound, this felt like a real sneak peak into the new Maisie Peters.
