Four years after originally announcing a headline tour in 2020, Allie X finally made her way to The Sinclair on Monday 6/10. She delivered a performance worthy of the wait with iconic flair.
Opener Maylee Todd set the tone for the evening as she came on stage in a puffy oversized outfit and fully engaged the crowd throughout her highly entertaining set. She even managed to start a dance circle in the middle of the floor with the brief time she had to work with.
Allie X greeted the crowded audience that had sold out The Sinclair and noted that the evening was the first time she had ever headlined a show in Boston. She was of course corrected by a fan who helpfully shouted, “You’re in Cambridge!” Nevertheless, Allie X went on to impress with a set that highlighted her newest album Girl With No Face. She served up an offering of soaring operatic vocals, driving synth, and unabashed style as she blazed through the setlist, pausing only briefly here and there for snippets of banter. That said, she still managed to work in the older fan favorites as she powered through the track list of her most recent LP. The concert was quick, with the event wrapping up shortly after 10 pm, but hopefully the wait for the next Allie X visit will be short too.
