The O2 Academy in Leeds was electric on Thursday night as Remi Wolf kicked off the UK and Ireland leg of The Big Ideas Tour. Known for her kaleidoscopic sound and boundless energy, Wolf delivered a show as unforgettable as it was unpredictable, setting the tone for what promises to be an exhilarating tour.
As the house lights dimmed, the audience erupted into cheers, their anticipation palpable. Wolf opened the night with Cherries & Cream, a track that perfectly encapsulates her offbeat charisma. The song’s funky grooves and her soulful, raspy vocals immediately captivated the crowd, transforming the venue into a pulsating sea of movement.
But the night wasn’t just about her hits. Halfway through her set, Wolf surprised everyone with a cover of Life Is a Highway by Rascal Flatts. The country-rock anthem got a signature Wolf twist, blending her quirky pop sensibilities with the song’s Americana roots. The audience belted the chorus alongside her, their voices filling every corner of the venue.
In one of the night’s most memorable moments, Wolf showcased her knack for improvisation. She called out asking for words, grinning as fans shouted suggestions. When one voice cut through the crowd with “Yorkshire!”. Her band immediately jumped into action, creating a groovy, improvised beat that had the crowd swaying and clapping along. Wolf began spinning lyrics on the fly, her voice effortlessly weaving humour and soul into the melody.
The set built towards its climax with a fan-favourite track like Disco Man and then ending the night with her viral hit Photo ID in the encore. The song’s infectious beat and carefree lyrics brought the house down, leaving the crowd buzzing with energy long after the final note faded.
Wolf’s Leeds performance wasn’t just a concert; it was an experience. From the opening number to the improvised Yorkshire anthem, every moment felt fresh, fun, and deeply personal.
