Troye Sivan Brings Pop Perfection To London On The Bloom Tour

Troye brought The Bloom Tour to London and it was MAGICAL!

Since the release of his sophomore record, Bloom, Troye Sivan has been on a swift rise to pop stardom, and last night’s show at London’s Eventim Apollo was a climactic moment in his ascent.

Opening the show with a brooding rendition of ‘Seventeen’ – complete with mood lit curtain drop sent from the gods – Sivan set the bar high for the rest of the show.

‘I sh*t you not - I feel like I’m in the Lizzie McGuire movie or something,’ he said after sailing through hits ‘Bloom’ and ‘Plum’. It was, after all, one was one of his biggest headlines shows to date. And being amongst the sweaty, screaming crowd, there was a communal feeling of being a part of something really special.

‘HEAVEN’ – arguably one of the most important songs in Sivan’s back catalogue, documenting his coming out experience – was preceded by a knowing ask if there were any of the LGBTQ community in the crowd. The question was greeted with rapturous applause, indicating why the song means so much to him, and why he means so much to his fans.

Troye Sivan is a breath of fresh air in the over-saturated pop landscape. ‘HEAVEN’ isn’t the only song that addresses his sexuality. Famously, the queer narrative - moreover his queer narrative - runs through all of his song-writing. Drawing on his own wealth of experiences, he traverses love songs, break-up songs, party songs, the lot.

‘Lucky Strike’ was a ~moment~ as the Australian pop prince sashayed around the stage, giving everyone in the audience the confidence to dance along with him. He followed this with ‘WILD’ and his Lauv collaboration ‘i’m so tired…’ both of which went Off, capital O.

After a quick outfit change, Sivan took centre stage, relaxed on a coach, and performed heartfelt renditions of ‘Postcard’ and ‘The Good Side’. Because one minute he can have you vogueing like there’s no tomorrow, the next you’ll be welling up.

The atmosphere was palpable as Troye took a minute to address why this was one of the most special nights of his life. The rest of the setlist was comprised of greatest hits from both his records, including ‘BITE’ - which still slaps to this day - and his Charli XCX collab ‘1999’.

View the lyrics
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, sing "Hit me baby, one more time"
Wanna go back, wanna go

Yeah, I just wanna go back
Nike Airs, All That
CD, old Mercedes
Drive 'round listening to Shady like, oh
Never under pressure, oh
Those days, it was so much better, oh
Feelin' cool in my youth, relaxin'
No money, no problem
It was easy back then

Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
Got memories
Ooh, maybe we could do it tonight
Tonight's the night

I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back
Sing "Hit me baby, one more time"
Wanna go back, wanna go

Yeah, I remember back home
Best friends, all night, no phone
No cares, I was dumb and so young
My room singing Michael Jackson (hee, hee)
Never under pressure, oh
Those days it was so much better, oh
Feelin' cool in my youth, I'm askin'
"Does anyone remember how we did it back then?"

Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
Got memories
Ooh, maybe we could do it tonight
Tonight's the night
Ah, yeah

I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back
Sing "Hit me baby, one more time"
Wanna go back, wanna go

Back to where we came from
Playin' air guitar on the roof
In the kitchen, up on the table
Like we had a beautiful view
I wanna go
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Ah, yeah

Back to 1999
I know those days are over but a boy can fantasize
'Bout JTT on MTV and when I close my e-e-eyes
And I'm right there, right there
And he's right there, right there
And we're right there, right there
Ah, ah, ah, I wanna go back

I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back
Sing "Hit me baby, one more time"
Wanna go back, wanna go

Back to where we came from (came from)
Playin' air guitar on the roof
In the kitchen, up on the table
Like we had a beautiful view
I wanna go
I just wanna go back, back to 1999 (go back)
Go back, yeah, yeah
I just wanna go back, back to 1999 (yeah, back to 1999)
Yeah, take me back to '99

He finished the initial part of the set with, as Troye put it upon releasing it last year, his ‘five-minute 80s stadium love song’, ‘Animal’, before coming back out to perform ‘YOUTH’ and the track that marked his epic comeback, ‘My My My!’.

The main question we have after this experience is, Troye Sivan - if you’re reading this, take us on the rest of The Bloom Tour with you please?
