Røry’s Newcastle show in November felt less like a standard tour date and more like a communal exhale, an evening where catharsis, connection, and raw storytelling took centre stage. Performing to a packed crowd at Northumbria University, Røry turns vulnerability into spectacle, transforming songs born from grief, addiction, and heartbreak into something defiantly celebratory. It was a night that proved why her following has grown so fiercely loyal. The music hits emotionally, but the live delivery makes it unforgettable.
From the moment she walked onstage the room lifted, her adorning fans greeting her with their exuberant admiration. On the front row I spotted banners, flags and placards all displaying their love for her. Much of the crowd clearly follow Røry through social media, and that digital intimacy translated seamlessly in person.
Between songs, she spoke openly about mental health, grief and recovery, not with rehearsed soundbites, but with the frankness and sincerity. These interludes could have stalled momentum, but instead deepened the emotional stakes because everyone in that room had felt those feelings so deeply and intensely before and this concert felt like a release.
Highlights included “Uncomplicated,” which prompted one of the loudest singalongs of the night, and seconded by “Kill You First,” “The Apology I’ll Never Receive” was the emotional peak, performed stripped back with a spotlight and minimal instrumentation from the sound desk for maximum impact. We were also treated to a few unreleased songs from her upcoming album “Dead Girl Walking,” “Degredation” and “Hometown”
What stood out most, however, was the atmosphere. Røry has cultivated a fanbase built on shared experience and solidarity, and that sense of collective support was tangible. When they spoke about loss, the crowd responded with cheers rather than awkward silence, when they encouraged self-compassion, the reaction felt heartfelt rather than performative. It was a safe space that still pulsed with energy, rare in a live setting.
The encore closed the night on a high, blending catharsis with release. Rather than a polished finale, it felt spontaneous and alive. Her performance showcased an artist who understands both craft and community. It wasn’t just a concert, it was a gathering of people who needed to feel seen and left feeling lifted. If this tour proves anything, it’s that Røry’s rise isn’t a trend, it’s the result of authenticity resonating loudly and my word did it ring out beautifully.
