[DID NOT ATTEND: October 24, 2025] Laufey / Suki Waterhouse
I
first heard Laufey on WXPN and liked the weird, unexpected song she had released, Silver Lining. It was a fun breath of unusual jazzy standard style music. I assumed it was kind of a fluke song like when Bjork released It’s Oh So Quiet (Laufey is also Icelandic). But then I found out that that is the kind of music Laufey releases–jazz pop standards. Nothing wrong with it, indeed, I like it in small doses, but I wouldn’t want to see a full concert of it. And that’s how I know I’m completely out of step with the world because she played XFinity Mobile Arena, the largest venue in Philly.
I blew off seeing Suki Waterhouse earlier this year and regret it. I would like to see her, but this would be a terrible way to see her, I suspect.
And on a purely personal level, we came to this venue the night before for Billie Eilish–I can’t imagine going to this huge place two nights in a row.
