Brat Punk. Riot Grrrl Rap. Feminist Rage artist Delilah Bon comes roaring onto The Key Club stage. Her short 30-minute set has a lot to give us, making it one of the safest stages to be free to be who you want to be today. Delilah Bon starts off her set with the 2023 song “Brat,” which gets the growing crowd up and moving!
Her high-energy set moves on to the body-positive song “I Don’t Listen To You.” Her perfectly timed rapped lines, combined with sharing her important messages, are loud and clear throughout her songs. The audience screams back every lyric of her empowering songs. Delilah Bon’s sassy, strong, and independent nature is captivating. She is the artist you can 100% feel safe around, and no matter if you’ve seen her 100 times or if this is your first time, you feel like you belong at her set!
We are treated to Delilah Bon’s latest single, “PRINCELESS PRINCESS,” which gets Delilah’s pink fizzy leg warmers kicking high in the air. With the single having been out for under two weeks, it hasn’t stopped her adoring fan base from learning every single lyric. The catchy sound is perfectly crafted, and with the help of her band, the song is brought to life, ending strongly with Delilah screaming, “I’m Not Your Mother Fucking Princess.”
Moving on to showcase Delilah Bon’s extremely talented vocal range is “I Wish A Bitch Would”, from screamed lyrics flowing straight into rap, then back into perfectly on-beat lyrics. The strong messages that Delilah Bon gives in her songs are always clear and on point. The self-titled album song “Evil, Hate Filled Female,” taken from the 2024 album, is up next, with its strong and powerful messages. Her lyrics give this sweet yet strong-willed song, which just grabs you and keeps you wanting to listen more to her messages.
Delilah Bon finishes off her set with “Maverick” and “Dead Men Don’t Rape,” with her body-empowering messages to the government about the rights to women’s bodies and how we should be allowed to do what we want. Delilah’s set is over way too quickly, but her powerful messages do leave their mark on anybody who comes across her set. Given the safe space at Slam Dunk Festival today, she deserves to be higher up the lineup or on the main stage.
“Princeless Princess” will be Delilah Bon’s next EP, due out in September 2025. If you haven’t already got tickets for her tour, more information can be found here.
