Allie X, Miki, Froukje, Blondshell and Charles: unmissable shows for fans of catchy pop and indie rock.
Pop music has perhaps never been as raw, catchy and rebellious as it is today. For those of you who’ve already played Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love to death, or are eagerly awaiting Instinct by Angèle, we’ve got five new obsessions in store for you: Allie X, Miki, Froukje, Blondshell and Charles.
Allie X Sun 18 Oct
You may already have spotted Allie X as the support act for Dua Lipa, Troye Sivan or Charli XCX, but with her Serial Diva tour she now takes centre stage herself. The Canadian artist is known for her bold sonic and visual style, and takes charge of every aspect of her work: writing, producing, directing, styling, glam and even the creative direction of her album artwork. Come and experience all her different personas at once on 18 October.
Miki Thu 22 Oct
French pop sensation Miki has built up a huge following in no time with her modern indie pop. Miki sings, speaks and writes in the first person, touching on both light-hearted and serious subjects with the necessary detachment and, above all, plenty of self-deprecating humour. Her show at AB on 22 October is sold out, but you can still put your name on the waiting list.
Froukje Fri 27 Nov
Dutch singer-songwriter Froukje will be presenting her new album Kijk Je Naar Mij? on 27 November. One of the most influential voices of her generation, she sings about the world, love and her fascinating relationship with her own life as an artist. She wrote the album entirely by herself and took care of most the production work too. She’s fresh, she’s self-assured and she has the ease of someone who knows what she’s doing.
Blondshell Tue 8 Dec
Fair enough, Blondshell isn’t pure pop, but it is the sort of alternative indie rock that pop fans love too. Sabrina Teitelbaum combines brilliant songwriting with dry humour and crunchy guitars. Her sound is raw, catchy, emotional and brutally honest. It wasn’t for nothing that The New York Times called her ‘an alt-rock supernova’. On 8 December, she’ll be performing at AB. And you wouldn’t want to miss that.
Charles Thu 8 Apr '27
The young Belgian singer-songwriter is back and sounds poppier than ever. Drawing on her Anglo-Saxon rock influences, Charles creates fresh, alternative pop with English-language songs that are drawn directly from her own life. On her latest double EP Sabotage, Charlotte Foret weaves the chaos and melodrama of her early twenties into a tumultuous coming-of-age story about a strong woman who finally breaks out of her bubble.
Pop fans, unite. We’ve got some great acts on our programme once again. Find out much more here.
