Maisie Peters returned to Newcastle for another headline show this year, as she embarks upon ‘The Good Witch Tour’. Going from a small gig at the Newcastle University SU to headlining NX is a huge step up for the young artist. The venue, which boasts a capacity of 2000, showcases how she is beginning to dominate the best music venues in the city.

Gretta Ray, with her delightful presence and charming Aussie accent, opened up the show. She played a variety of upbeat songs, slow and dreamy ballads and everything in between. Closing her half-an-hour set with some exceptional vocals and an endearing smile, she left the stage with hundreds of new fans after wowing Maisie’s crowd with her short but sweet set.

After a brief wait, Maisie ran onto the stage captivating the crowd immediately. She started her set with a bang, playing the title track of her new album ‘The Good Witch’. Her contagious energy spread throughout her fans at once. Everyone in the venue went wild, jumping up and down and singing their hearts out (including the band!). Maisie’s impressive stamina proved itself, as she danced all night long on the stage, rocking out to her band’s incredible performance and singing a great setlist.

Some highlights of the show included a heartfelt medley of fan favourites, ‘Two Weeks Ago’, ‘Worst of You’ and a superior rendition of One Direction’s hit song ‘Night Changes’. Maisie also serenaded the audience with songs like ‘Wendy’ and ‘History of Man’, leaving the crowd feeling a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the night. Peppered with anecdotal stories and comical interactions with the crowd - she even asked people to confess their “worst red flag story”. The crowd was enamoured by an uplifting and entertaining show all night.

Finishing the set with ‘Cate’s Brother’, the energy was ramped right up – we didn’t think it could be after such a passionate show . Everyone’s enthusiasm was evident as no one could keep still during this lively number.

After a whirlwind of a gig, the lyrical genius left the stage with fans wanting more. The crowd chanted her name, unable to leave just yet. Finally, Maisie gave in and returned with her band, giving the crowd the encore they wanted. She eventually finished the set – for good this time – with arguably one of her best tracks on the album ‘Lost the Breakup’, leaving fans with the greatest show they’ve ever seen.
