Holly Humberstone @ Manchester Academy – Manchester, U.K.

Fast-rising star Holly Humberstone has officially capped off her career-defining year with her biggest Uk tour to date. The 22-year-old has quite literally done it all this year, from winning the rising star award at the 2022 Brit awards, to supporting Olivia Rodrigo out in the States and even managed to get herself on some of the UK’s biggest festivals this summer. The hype surrounding the popstar couldn’t be any bigger right now and it also couldn’t be anymore deserved. Fans still eagerly await the announcement of Holly Humberstone’s studio debut album which we hope to see release in 2023, however the artist has kept her audience more than fed with a wide range of singles and her two EPs. After previously catching Holly Humberstone play a very intimate show at the Manchester Academy 2 in preparation for her festival appearances I was overjoyed to see her announce a full headline show months later at the much bigger venue just next door in the Manchester Academy. We were lucky enough to attend this incredible show that once again felt like another massive achievement in what is bound to be a long and successful career for this bright young musician. Support for the night came from fellow rising artist L.Devine.
