Gig Review - Kacey Musgraves "Oh What A World Tour" Birmingham October 2018

Sunday night saw Rik and Francesca off to the 02 Academy in Birmingham to catch Kacey Musgraves' Oh What A World Tour

An "interesting" choice of support act - Soccer Mommy were the most downbeat openers I have ever seen. We were encouraged to dance, but with every song lacking any tempo, that was never really an option. Lead singer Sophie took to the stage alone to sing a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire" - and managed to slow it down even more than the Boss ever did! 


Fortunately Kacey took the stage and livened up the room. Although "Golden" is not - in my opinion - as good as her first album the show was certainly enjoyable throughout, with some great audience singalongs which will hopeful convince Kacey to stick to her Country roots, rather than the Pop Princess path she is toying with. Entertaining and enjoyable - I wasn't blown away as other artistes have managed, but I was certainly thrilled to hear Kacey Musgraves live
