LIVE REVIEW: LØLØ – GOD FORBID A GIRL GOES ON TOUR @ THE MASQUERADE (HELL), ATLANTA, GA – OCTOBER 20, 2026

There’s something entertaining about an artist who can write a song about having her heart broken, make it ridiculously catchy, and somehow have everyone laughing about it. That’s pretty much LØLØ’s specialty, and she brought plenty of it to The Masquerade’s Hell stage in Atlanta on Tuesday night.

The Canadian singer-songwriter stopped in Atlanta on her *God Forbid a Girl Goes on Tour*, supporting her latest album, *god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!*. With a mix of pop-punk, alternative rock, and lyrics that don’t hold much back, LØLØ has been steadily building a name for herself. After seeing her headline her own show, it’s easy to understand why.

Sydney Sherrill got the evening started, bringing her blend of pop-rock and personal songwriting to the Hell stage. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Sherrill has been making a name for herself with music that combines catchy melodies with a little attitude. Her 2026 EP, *Live Me Down*, shows a more confident, guitar-driven side of her sound, influenced by both her Texas upbringing and time in New York City. Songs like “Hard Candy” and “God Bless LES” gave Atlanta a taste of that direction. Sherrill has also spent time supporting LØLØ overseas, so she’s no stranger to the energy that comes with these shows.

Mylie Taylor followed with a noticeably heavier sound, bringing a darker alternative-rock edge to the evening. The Toronto-based singer grew up around live music, thanks in part to her father playing in bands, and that early exposure eventually led her toward a career of her own. Her music pulls from alternative rock, metalcore, and pop, mixing heavier instrumentation with lyrics about heartbreak, relationships, and finding your confidence again. Songs like “girls and drugs” and “jaws” showed off that combination of attitude and vulnerability. Taylor’s sound was a good contrast to Sherrill’s more melodic approach, while still fitting naturally alongside LØLØ’s pop-punk style.

LØLØ’s set opened with a recorded diary entry, giving the audience a peek into the thoughts behind the songs before the band kicked things into gear with “the devil wears converse.” It was a clever way to introduce a show that felt almost like flipping through someone’s personal journal, except this one came with loud guitars and a pretty good sense of humor.

Backed by a full band, LØLØ sounded right at home in the intimate setting. Songs like “pretty little wreck,” “THE FLOOR IS LAVA!!,” and “u turn me on (but u give me depression)” had the punch you’d expect from a pop-punk show, while her vocals carried the melodies without getting buried beneath the guitars.

One of her biggest strengths is how naturally she moves between being funny and being vulnerable. She can make a joke out of a terrible relationship one minute and turn around with a song that makes you realize there was probably quite a bit of truth behind it. That balance is what keeps her music from becoming just another collection of breakup songs.

The performance also had a playful theatrical side. The diary entries returned throughout the show, connecting the music and giving the night a bit of a storyline. It was a nice touch that added personality without taking attention away from the band.

There were plenty of lighter moments, too. LØLØ’s reworking of Plain White T’s “Hey There Delilah,” told from Delilah’s perspective, offered a change of pace from the louder material. The song helped introduce her to a much wider audience several years ago, and it’s still a fun part of her live show.

Another highlight was “delusional darling,” which brought Mylie Taylor back to the stage to join LØLØ. Their voices worked well together, and it was a nice way to bring one of the night’s opening performers back into the spotlight.

As the set continued, songs like “faceplant,” “the punisher,” and “the dumbest girl in the world” showed off the range of LØLØ’s songwriting. There are obvious influences from the pop-punk bands of the early 2000s, but she has developed enough of her own identity that the music doesn’t feel like a nostalgia act. The guitars might sound familiar, but the humor and perspective are very much her own.

The evening eventually wound down with an acoustic performance of “wish i was a robot,” stripping away the bigger sound for something more personal. It was a reminder that underneath all the sarcasm and attitude, LØLØ is a genuinely capable songwriter.

Of course, she wasn’t about to leave things on a quiet note.

The final song, “hot girls in hell,” couldn’t have been more appropriate for a show taking place in a venue literally called Hell. Whether that was intentional when the Atlanta date was booked or just a happy coincidence, it made for a pretty great ending.

LØLØ may still be playing smaller rooms, but she’s already figured out something that plenty of artists spend years trying to master: how to make a show feel personal without sacrificing the energy of a rock concert. She’s funny, expressive, and clearly comfortable being herself onstage.

And while her songs might suggest she’s made a few questionable decisions when it comes to relationships, choosing to spend a Tuesday night watching her perform in Atlanta certainly wasn’t one of them.
