September 28th, 2025. MARIS and Caroline Kingsbury perform at Brighton Music Hall in Boston
On September 28th, rising pop sensations and newly-born duo MARIS and Caroline Kingsbury brought their combined headline tour to Boston’s Brighton Music Hall. Fans lined the barricade wearing astral-themed makeup that had been done by MARIS and Kingsbury themselves just hours earlier during a VIP exclusive meet-and-greet. Audience members in the back alike donned spectacularly extravagant outfits and ecstatic expressions as everyone awaited the show’s beginning.
MARIS and Kingsbury’s North American Give Me A Tour was conceived following the viral success of their duet “Give Me A Sign.” Although both artists reside firmly in the pop genre, they have their own stunningly singular styles, vocally and lyrically. Give Me A Tour follows a unique, engaging format wherein the two artists perform both together and individually, one occasionally ceding the spotlight for the other. Each time one returns to the stage, they are greeted warmly by their joint fandom once again.
Following a few songs performed as a duo, Caroline Kingsbury’s first solo portion began. In kitten-covered tights and a neon leotard, Kingsbury rocked the mic with “Heaven’s Just A Flight,” “16,” and “Breaking Apart.” Kingsbury seemed to only go harder as the night went on, and the crowd surrendered to her every word and movement. Kingsbury’s ability to regain command of the stage each time she went on was incredibly fun to watch and is a testament not only to her abilities as a performer but also to her charisma and passion.
Throughout MARIS’s performances, her set included several costume changes, from an astronaut to a cosmic-themed showgirl. To the crowd’s excitement, she performed several viral hits, including “Super F*cking Mega Star” and “It’s Hard (to be a Man).” Like her touring partner, MARIS captivated the crowd with her silly, fun dance moves, audience interaction — including calling a fan’s grandmother on FaceTime and singing to her — and impressive vocal abilities, which she equally mastered in keeping the crowd’s attention and enthusiasm. At one point, she even parted the audience to stand on a bar table and perform a soft ballad while the crowd remained hushed in awe.
As the night drew to a close, the two performed an acoustic duet of Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club,” while the audience swayed and sang along, flashlights held high. With their performances on Give Me A Tour, MARIS and Kingsbury establish themselves as a formidable team. Above all, it is abundantly clear that the two simply enjoy sharing a stage. They equally hype each other up throughout the show, and when they perform duets, their shared, beaming smiles are contagious. Give Me A Tour is well underway, yet fans are already looking to the future in anticipation of what will come next from this breakout popstar powerhouse duo.
