Anna Erhard Wrapped Up 2025 UK Tour

Tucked in West London, Bush Hall has hosted many now-famous artists in their early careers – many we sing along to on primetime radio. Adding to its list of performers, the venue welcomed Anna Erhard, a continuously rising star of lyrically charged pop music. This was the final date of her UK tour, which unfortunately saw some cancellations due to illness—thankfully rescheduled with new August dates. The venue was packed, and the crowd was full of joy that they could see Anna on stage, as the London show went ahead as planned.

Anna released a new album last year, her third full-length, Botanical Garden, which cemented her space within the industry with her signature funny yet emotional approach to songwriting. Erhard’s songs are witty, joyous, tongue-in-cheek, and evoke both positivity and self-reflection. Those who came to the show were some of her biggest fans. The early birds who arrived as soon as the doors opened kept glancing over their shoulders, checking if the room was filling up—concerned at first but content once Bush Hall filled to the brim. Some told me she deserved to sell out, and this materialized in a heartbeat.

The performance itself felt gentle and light. There was a sense of calm, and everyone seemed relaxed. Many couples stood together, cuddled up, looking at the stage, sharing visibly wholesome moments, and making sweet memories. It almost felt as if we were listening to a witty and hilarious friend telling us great stories over some wine.

There were only two acts that evening, but both filled our hearts and souls with fantastic performances. Anna’s support on her UK tour was Nyssa, a pure embodiment of Stevie Nicks. I try not to compare artists, as everyone brings their individuality and originality, but I hope this gives you an idea of her “vibe.” We stood there enchanted as Nyssa beamed with glorious energy, hypnotizing us with a spellbinding set. Her melodies felt refreshing to my ears, and some of the lyrics, which I was able to hear live (a rare treat at my regular metal shows), really resonated with me on a personal level. I was instantly hooked and will be keeping an eye on what feels like a rising star in the UK indie scene.

It was really nice for one evening to step into a completely different world—away from the mosh pits, the screaming, the ear-bending riffs, and the gut-twisting sounds. Embracing softness in music is refreshing, and it’s something I will try to do more often. If you’re curious too, book those tickets if you see either Anna or Nyssa on any upcoming show lineups in your town. More info can always be found on the artists’ socials.
