PinkPantheress
The British pop star gave a heartfelt speech and celebrated the end of an era after playing the last show on her North American tour at L'Olympia in Montreal yesterday (May 14).
Canada celebrated the end of an era for PinkPantheress.
Last night (May 14), PinkPantheress brought her An Evening with PinkPantheress tour to Montreal's L'Olympia for the closing show of her North American tour. After starting off with a small run of shows in 2025 which included three nights in Toronto, the British singer expanded the trek and returned to North America for more. She even delivered two major sets at Coachella in April, performing during both weekends.
Fancy That spawned numerous viral moments and hits since its release in April 2025. "Illegal" went viral on TikTok and reached No. 73 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, while the mixtape spent a week at No. 51 on the Canadian Albums Chart. An even bigger breakthrough arrived in the form of the "Stateside" remix with Zara Larsson, which reached No. 6 and earned PinkPantheress her second Canadian top ten hit. The remix album it appeared on also reached the top 20 in Canada.
PinkPantheress brought her mixtape to life onstage with her plaid, checkered and ribbon-adorned outfits and colourful set design, all of which reflected the project's artwork and 2000s aesthetics. The stage featured three square LED screens that displayed bright colours and dancing silhouettes — the same ones used in her "Girl Like Me" music video and performances — evoking a classic 2000s iPod commercial.
The show kicked off with a montage of the singer aboard a plane before she launched into "Stateside," joined by her flight crew of dancers and an airport backdrop onscreen, which perfectly mirrored the song's theme of travelling across state lines for her love interest.
The singer was joined onstage by DJ Joe, who played medleys of PinkPantheress deep cuts and features mixed with classic dance tracks in between acts. Her dancers vogued and performed choreography as fans cheered and jumped, creating a true club atmosphere. One of these breaks featured Larsson's verse on the "Stateside" remix, which sent the crowd into a frenzy as they sang in unison.
PinkPantheress displayed loads of charisma and confidence, moving perfectly in sync with her background dancers, delivering short choreography breaks and being theatrical onstage. During "Angel" she donned a pair of wings and singing from a platform above the stage while pleading and crying about a baby who "went away." She tossed a bouquet into the crowd during "The Aisle" and waved flashlights around while looking for her "Romeo" in the audience.
She touched all corners of her discography, from her breakthrough hits "Pain" and "Break It Off" to powerful ballads like "Capable of You," which was augmented by incredible, roaring guitars. Her trademark onstage purse made a surprise return after she previously joked that she had retired it for this tour, and she invited concertgoers to show theirs off too.
Near the end of the concert, the singer took a moment to accept gifts from fans, including a bracelet featuring the Kenyan flag and a crown. She celebrated the tour's end with the audience and voiced her gratitude for the warm, intimate atmosphere in the "squished" room.
“This was everything. It's so hot, but I like the intimacy," she said to a large ovation. "I like that I can see everyone. I’m glad that I’m still able to be so close to you guys. [An arena show] is not giving how this feels. You never see people clap at a show anymore."
She thanked Montreal for being the perfect last North American spot, calling it "a vibe" and noting that her stylist is from the city. Her speech was cut off by the sound of a ringtone to the tune of her closing song "Illegal" — the same sound that introduced the entire Fancy That era.
