It was a somewhat cold and rainy night on Friday the 19th of March, but that certainly didn’t stop anyone from heading on down to The Factory Theatre to see Holy Holy take to the stage and immerse them in over an hour of a incredible performance that featured a lot of movement on stage, really low light and some special guests.

Supporting Holy Holy was none other than Melbourne R&B artist Queen P, who owned the stage from the moment she walked onto it. Her thirty minute set was strong - she had amazing stage presence and everyone was dancing along to her groovy tracks. The artist showcased so much talent with some powerful tracks and strong messages as she moved around the stage captivating the audience. Through the set she had two amazing dancers that came onto the stage and just built up an even better performance that really kicked off the night.

Holy Holy are a great band, their songs are just SO GOOD and the way that they engage with their audience and pour so much passion into their performances - It’s safe to say that I was blown away. For a full hour, they played through a fantastic set list and the audience were dancing in their seats and screaming out in excitement. During the set, the band brought out duo Clews to sing backup on some songs and they killed it. When Holy Holy played Lorde’s “Green Light”, the audience went nuts - screaming along the lyrics and just having an all out good time. Towards the end, Queen P came on stage and performed “Port Rd” which is the track she actually feautues on. After the band left the stage the crowd started to chant out that they wanted one more song and sure enough, the band came back out and gave it their all for the next fifteen minutes.

The performance overall was just amazing, these guys know how to put on a good show and they did just that.

From the look on the faces of the crowd, I can tell that everyone had the most amazing night and enjoyed every single minute of it. Queen P and Holy Holy went out on stage and poured their heart and soul into their sets and made it a fantastic night for everyone.
