BENEE

New Zealand singer and songwriter BENEE plays The Concert Hall in Toronto on March 12, 2026, with an alt-pop set shaped by bedroom-pop textures, elastic basslines and a voice that leans conversational and melodic. Breaking through with Soaked and the global surge of Supalonely, she’s since widened her palette on the album Hey U X and the Lychee EP, moving between breezy grooves and more introspective corners. On stage, that mix turns into mellow swing, clipped drum programming and synth lines that leave space for lyrics about friendship hiccups, late-night doubts and small joys. The set pulls from her early EPs Fire on Marzz and Stella & Steve through to newer tracks, folding in low-key R&B tones and understated electronics. Hooks stay light, the tempo keeps an easy pace, and the mood shifts from bittersweet to quietly warm. A focused, unforced pop show built on detail, repetition and melodies that tend to linger after the last chorus.
