Poppy with Landmvrks & Thousand Below

Poppy (Moriah Pereira) has spent the last decade doing something almost no artist successfully executes: genuinely reinventing her sound from record to record while maintaining a devoted fanbase that follows her wherever she goes. From sugary hyperpop to fully committed heavy metal — her 2020 album I Disagree and its follow-ups established her as an artist who takes metal seriously rather than deploying it for shock value — Poppy's evolution has been one of the more genuinely interesting career narratives in contemporary music.

Her live show combines the theatrical precision of her visual art practice with the physical weight of her current sound — a combination that has made Tabernacle-scale rooms her natural environment. Landmvrks (French metalcore) and Thousand Below (post-hardcore) are well-matched openers for an evening that rewards no assumptions about what Poppy will be doing next. August 16.
