Freya Ridings

Freya Ridings brings her piano-led pop to Birmingham Town Hall in Birmingham on 22 September 2026. London-born and raised on a mix of folk, pop and soul, she writes with a focus on voice, piano and guitar, favoring clear melodies and lean arrangements. Her set should trace the path from early singles like Blackout and Lost Without You to the self-titled debut that carried You Mean the World to Me and Castles, and extend to Blood Orange (2023), a record that widens the production while keeping an intimate core. On stage, Ridings navigates ballads and mid-tempo songs with the same direct approach to storytelling, letting her low register carry the emotion without overstatement. Expect a show built around dynamic shifts rather than big effects: quiet verses that open up, choruses that land clean, and a few live reworks from her early sessions. Between newer titles and the tracks that first put her on the map, this date offers a focused snapshot of her songwriting today, close to the songs and close to the audience.
