new way out
Poppy owned the stage from the moment she stepped out—effortlessly bouncing between haunting melodies and full-on guttural screams. Her stage presence was magnetic, and the performance struck a careful balance between chaos and control, intensity and elegance. The whole thing felt meticulously crafted but never overthought—like she was just channeling something wild and real.
Crowd Vibes & Venue NotesThe energy in the room was electric, and fans were fully locked in. A lot of people were raving about how tight her set was and how she commanded the stage. That said, the general admission area got really packed—like, barely-move packed. It didn’t kill the vibe, but it definitely made things feel more intense than they needed to be.
A Closer Look at the SetShe leaned hard into her newer, heavier material, and the transitions between songs were smooth but punchy. Each track landed with weight, and you could feel the audience reacting physically—headbanging, dancing, shouting. There was this ebb and flow to the set that kept things from ever feeling flat. She knew when to go quiet and eerie, and when to punch back with full force.
Production & Details That HitThe lighting was moody and minimal, with cold tones shifting into bursts of red or strobe when the energy peaked. It wasn’t a flashy production, but it fit the vibe—gritty, stylish, a little off-kilter in a cool way. No gimmicks, just atmosphere and attitude. And her outfit? Absolutely on-brand—somewhere between post-apocalyptic fashion and goth alien rockstar.
TakeawayPoppy’s show at the Buckhead Theatre wasn’t just a concert—it felt like a short film come to life. Between a killer opening act, a genre-blurring setlist, and her commanding presence, she gave fans a night that stuck with them. Loud, weird, sharp, and unforgettable.
