LØLØ Brings ‘god forbid a girl goes on tour’ to The Rebel Lounge Oct. 12

PHOENIX – Canadian pop-rock singer-songwriter LØLØ is bringing her god forbid a girl goes on tour headline run to The Rebel Lounge on Monday, Oct. 12, supporting her sophomore album, god forbid a girl spits out her feelings! and tickets are running low!

LØLØ sits on a bed framed by velvet curtains, wearing a tiara and holding a leopard-print journal, beneath the text “god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!” with glittering stars around her.

Released this year via Fearless Records, the 13-track album finds LØLØ leaning further into the diaristic songwriting, biting humor and emotional candor that have become central to her music. Fearless describes the record as chronicling the messiness of learning, losing, falling in love and falling apart, transforming intrusive thoughts and moments of self-doubt into cathartic songs.

Among the songs likely to make their way into the Phoenix set are album standouts “me with no shirt on,” “the punisher,” “007,” “the devil wears converse” and “american zombie.” The album also includes “delusional darling,” which has since received a collaboration with Ella Red.

The Toronto native has built a rapidly expanding presence in modern pop-rock, amassing more than 200 million global streams while pairing confessional songwriting with melodies rooted in pop-punk and alternative rock. Her résumé includes collaborations with Simple Plan, Maggie Lindemann and Plain White T’s, along with tours and performances alongside acts including New Found Glory, State Champs and Boys Like Girls.

Her latest headline run follows a busy year of live appearances, including multiple Vans Warped Tour dates and festival performances throughout Canada. LØLØ has also appeared on stages at festivals including Lollapalooza, Sad Summer and Slam Dunk, while earning recognition as one of Rock Sound’s “2025 Icons.”

For an artist whose songs regularly turn oversharing, romantic disasters and spiraling thoughts into singalong material, god forbid a girl goes on tour offers a fitting live extension of the new record. The songs are intensely personal, and LØLØ has increasingly built a community around making those feelings something listeners can shout back together.

Mylie Taylor and Sydney Sherrill will support LØLØ at The Rebel Lounge. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show beginning at 8 p.m. The concert is all ages, with tickets currently listed from $22 to $107.

With god forbid a girl spits out her feelings! now out and a new era of LØLØ fully underway, Phoenix fans will have the chance to catch one of pop-rock’s rising voices in the close quarters of The Rebel Lounge on Oct. 12.

REVIEW: Hot Girl in Hell LØLØ Ignites as Simple Plan Tour Opener in Phoenix (8-14-25)

PHOENIX — The night kicked off with a light, Disney-esque melody, possibly a nod to her “Let It Go” cover from Disney’s pop-punk covers album A Whole New Sound. Behind the stage, a whimsical backdrop mirrored her album falling for robots and wishing i was one: a yellow brick road leading to the Emerald City, her name in bold red with yellow trim. A drum crash cut the melody short, and LØLØ bounded onto the stage in a very cute, circa-early-2000s pop-punk-princess look: a cropped argyle spaghetti-strap top, tight black miniskirt, fishnets, and her signature knee-high boots. “Ready to make some noise?!” she shouted, busting into her first song.

The opening song blended the lyric “It was only a kiss” from The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside” with her own “faceplant.”  As an opening move, it was brilliant, dropping in one of the most recognizable alt-rock hooks guaranteed the crowd’s attention, even if they weren’t familiar with her music yet.

Smiling, she announced it was her job to warm us up tonight for the legendary bands that raised her  — a particularly funny line, considering we were in the desert and it was 100+ degrees outside.

Still, the respect conveyed in her tone showed she knew exactly what it meant to open for beloved pop-punk heavyweights like Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup and 3OH!3 on the “Bigger Than You Think!” tour.

After being part of the lineup for Simple Plan’s 25th anniversary tour, LØLØ will pick back up in November to finish the last leg of her ‘U Turn Me On’ U.S. headline run — which saw all but two shows sell out before pausing in March. See tour dates below.

Her second song, “2 of us”, found her bathed in golden spotlight while her guitarist and drummer played in violet and red shadows. She delivered the raw lines, “Do you think I’m stupid? Do you think I’m dumb? Well maybe I am, ’cause I still pick up…” with the kind of questions anyone who’s been in an endless rough relationship has asked as we answer the phone or text again.

“the devil wears converse” (her newest release) came next, and here she was fully in her element — moving with joyful precision across the stage, trading playful glances with her guitarist, and getting the audience clapping along. She never missed a beat, her live vocals spot-on with her recordings, her movements as expressive on stage as they are in her videos.

By the time she launched into “debbie downer”, the crowd was warming up too. She led a “Hey ho, let’s go” chant, flirty and confident as she playfully stumbled across the stage.

The second chant was a nod to the nostalgically millennial favorite film “Bring It On”, with the famous “It’s Cold in Here” chant while holding a blue pompom that ended with us all being officially inducted into her squad. The audience happily roared back. 

The joy she has performing is infectious and obvious in the best way. “hurt less” had the whole crowd squatting down and popping back up on her command, and “u turn me on (but u give me depression)” was a clear highlight. Holding a striking blue-and-white guitar, she admitted the song was written about someone she’d obsessed over who made her “very mentally ill.” The crowd clapped along, and she stood more still here, letting the weight of the song land. At the end, she added, “If you were thinking of someone during that song, maybe take it as a sign to stop.”  Solid advice. Just DON’T, per LØLØ.

“DON’T!” follows the same theme of hot, sexy bad-for-you exes — the late-night snacks of connections, filling but not fulfilling. She remained bubbly throughout the entire show, moving freely and animated, never losing her spark. “OMG” stood out as one of her best live numbers, alternating between breathy talk-sing verses reminding me of Taylor Swift and explosive choruses of “I can’t make it stop.” She threw herself into it, as bouncy and energized as the song demanded.

Then came the cover that sealed it: Icona Pop feat. Charli XCX’s “I Love It”, reimagined in her pop-punk style. Jumping, headbanging, leading the sing-along — she lit the room on fire, earning the biggest applause of her set.

Between songs, her banter made her even more likable. With a black guitar slung across her, she talked about her dog Slim (named after Eminem).  A particularly fun audience engagement exchange was when she asked if we had exes. “Yes!” shouted the crowd. Then she asked if we had exes we hated. A louder “yes” from the crowd. She responded with a playful, “We all clearly need therapy.” She laughed before joking that it is perfectly healthy to imagine them burning in hell, then launched into the song “hot girls in hell”.

By the end, she gave her band their moment of love, calling for cheers as her guitarist took a solo and her drummer drove the beat behind him. Then, the three of them came together at center stage, bowing and thanking Phoenix for coming — a rare show of appreciation from an opener, underscoring how much it meant to them to play for Phoenix.

LØLØ understood the assignment; she warmed up the crowd with charisma, pop-punk attitude, practiced precision, and just enough chaos to keep it raw. The legacy of pop-punk shone through her endless energy and crowd engagement, channeling the spirit of icons like Paramore and Avril Lavigne. As she opened for some of the most influential bands that helped build the scene, it was refreshing to experience a fun female voice in a sea of predominantly male artists.

Simple Plan, 3OH!3, Bowling for Soup and Phoenix all seemed to embrace the addition of a rising “pop-punk princess,” who left her mark on the desert with a standout set that was entirely her own. If you come out to see this tour and have a great time, LØLØ is an opener you don’t want to miss.
