PinkPantheress performed two sold-out shows at the newly opened concert venue Paramount Brooklyn. On stage, she knowingly clutched the iconic purse that fans have turned into something of a meme online thanks to the fact that the singer is seldom seen on stage without it.
Throughout the evening, PinkPantheress engaged with the sold-out crowd, at one point telling a fan in the front row that she’d helped calm her nerves on stage. The audience participation gave the show a decidedly intimate feeling, despite the full house in attendance.
PinkPantheress made it a point all evening to thank the supporters who have been with her since the beginning, before launching into the Drum n Bass leaning “I Must Apologize,” she asked the crowd if they were familiar with her 2021 mixtape ‘To Hell With It’
PinkPantheress was joined by Kelela late in the night, and the two performed their collaboration “Bury Me.” After the performance, PinkPantheress thanked Kelela for being the reason she started making music.

Throughout the night, PinkPantheress’ Y2k aesthetic was deployed with a subtle, tasteful flair. Fans blew the singers’ hair like in a 2000s music video, and the stage’s decor had the feeling of a aughts-era TV show
Ice Spice, fresh from an iconic set at Coachella, made a surprise appearance at the end of the night to perform her and PinkPantheress’ hit “Boys A Liar Pt. 2”
The crowd erupted with joyous screams as soon as Ice Spice ran on stage. The moment capped off an eventful week for Ice Spice, coming off of her first ever performance at Coachella. Her appearance capped off a night full of surprise guests.
At one point in the night, Pinkpantheress asked if any fans in attendance were at their first-ever concert — a handful of audience members said that it was. PinkPantheress was visibly moved by the thought of being teenaged fans’ first concert experience.
Pinkpantheress referred to her 2021 live debut in New York, and many in the crowd had attended that show — at a much smaller venue — as well.
After an encore performance, the show concluded with a shower of confetti
