NoahFinnce ft Taylor Acorn and South Arcade at Electric Ballroom, 13/11/24

For the final date of his successful UK tour, NoahFinnce headed to Camden to take the Electric Ballroom stage by storm, with support from Taylor Acorn and South Arcade.

SOUTH ARCADE

Opening the show were South Arcade, and they seem to have been touring non-stop the past couple of years, in a mixture of support and headline slots, and it’s clear to see why – they’re the perfect example of pop-rock resurgence that seems to be happening at the moment and are a joy to watch each time. Fans are avidly searching for new female-fronted bands to support and South Arcade are worthy of that attention, even those in the crowd who initially didn’t know who they were – had been won over by the band after 2 songs.

TAYLOR ACORN

Second up was solo artist Taylor Acorn.
Many may initially have heard of Taylor through her songs going viral on TikTok, but she has more than proven herself from this performance, banger after banger and the crowd seemed to know them all! Taylor has an incredible stage presence, constantly moving (with the exception of an acoustic track) and singing her heart out. Not many artists who come from TikTok sound just as good live but Acorn sounds even better, she’s definitely one to watch – having already collaborated with Cassidee Pope of Hey Monday fame.

NOAHFINNCE

Headlining, NoahFinnce burst onto the stage like Sonic the Hedgehog, running around the set and singing his heart out. This set was non-stop from start to finish, Noah barely stood still for more than a ten seconds to change guitar or get a glass of water.
From guests coming onstage to throw paper planes to the TV’s blasting quotes about fake news, the set was sheer chaos in the best way.
The crowd themselves seemed to explode into a wave of excitement the moment he stepped onstage, screaming the lyrics back to him with such vigour, and it seemed to spur Noah on even more.
With songs about mental health, neurodivergence and being chronically online, it might seem like a hard-hitting set, but somehow Noah seems to keep it bright and fun with impressive stage presence and talent.
For a young man to have such a strong fan base already, he’s tapped into a niche and is definitely going to go far if he continues this upward trajectory.
