MoreWith two top 5 critically acclaimed albums under her belt, 2019's Sucker Punch and 2022's How To Let Go, arena shows in both London and Ireland, global world tours from Japan to LA and festival performances from Glastonbury to her first UK festival headline at Belladrum in Scotland, Sigrid has become one of the leading live pop acts of her generation. Writing huge pop songs from the heart with that rasp, and recalling great vocalists from Stevie Nicks to Carole King and Freddie Mercury, since Sigrid's ascent to pop stardom in 2017, the 28-year-old has achieved every accolade a young artist from a small town off the coast of Norway could ever have imagined. Sigrid has lit up stages with her non-conformist and progressive attitudes to femininity in pop. Ending 2022 headlining London's SSE Wembley Arena, Sigrid has become renowned for her high-energy live shows, writing anthemic chorus' for breathtaking festival performances. It's no surprise that the only place Sigrid feels she can truly take out "all those emotions" is performing live with her band.
Hailed as "life-affirming" (NME), "stunning" (Line of Best Fit) and "an impressive pop statement" (Clash) — 2022's How To Let Go built on the praise of 2019's debut Sucker Punch — home to the enormous banger, top 10 hit and festival favourite "Strangers" — flitting between disco-tinged lead single, "Mirror," and the alt-rock emo of Bring Me The Horizon collaboration, "Bad Life." Like her debut, "How To Let Go" crashed into the Norwegian charts at number 1, while in the UK it improved on Sucker Punch's number 4 debut by reaching number 2. Its success means that since exploding straight out of the blocks in 2017 with instant classic and feminist anthem "Don't Kill My Vibe."
With 1.47 Billion global streams (over 365m of those are from the UK along), 1 Million global album unit sales, and the Platinum certified success of pop-dance anthem Strangers, Sigrid has cemented her position as the 'voice' in alt-pop, but reminds us that at the heart of every one of her huge pop songs, is a girl at the piano in her hometown Alesund.
