As the 'Sucker Punch' star brings her tour to Leeds, we look at why her return to the O2 Academy is one of the most anticipated shows of the spring
Since she first burst onto the scene with the defiant ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe,’ Norway’s Sigrid has defied the typical pop star blueprint.
Avoiding flashy choreography and heavy backing tracks for a white t-shirt, jeans, and a world-class live band, she has cultivated a reputation as one of the most authentic performers in the industry.
This Wednesday (March 18), she returns to the O2 Academy Leeds, a venue that has become a familiar stop on her journey from rising star to global headliner.
The tour follows the release of her latest project, There’s Always More That I Could Say, which sees the singer leaning into a more organic, indie-leaning sound while maintaining the soaring choruses that made her a household name.
Sigrid’s shows are famous for their high-octane energy. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she leans heavily on her live band, giving her synth-pop anthems a rock-infused edge that perfectly suits the acoustics of the O2 Academy.
Expect a communal atmosphere; Sigrid has a knack for making a 2,300-capacity room feel like an intimate club, often taking moments between songs to share the stories behind her lyrics.
What time are the doors opening for Sigrid in Leeds?
Doors for the O2 Academy Leeds are scheduled to open at 7pm - Arriving early is recommended, especially for those with stalls standing tickets who want to secure a prime spot.

What is the bag policy for the O2 Academy Leeds?
