Has anybody here seen Lilly live, and if so, when and at what venue? Have you gone back to see her multiple times since then?

I was born in 1999, so I am nearly 15 years younger than Lilly, and I also was born and raised in the States, specifically in Westchester County, New York as well as in and around the NYC Metro Area.

So, I was only 7 years old when Alright, Still came out, and It’s Not Me It’s You came out when I was 9. Sheezus came out when I was 15, and when No Shame came out I was 19. She hasn’t released any other albums since then, though I believe she said that she still is writing songs, so there’s hope!

Thing was, Lilly I don’t think was as big of an artist when she first hit the scene here in the States, so I don’t think I paid as much attention to her as I could have, despite me being a big music fan for as long as I can remember.

So, the first time she came near me was when she did a concert at the Hiro Ballroom at the Maritime Hotel in NYC on October 10th, 2006, with Mark Ronson as her supporting act, and it was probably during her touring period for Alright, Still. I was only 7 years old at the time of that concert, so I was too young to go, plus it was during a school night anyway. Then the next time she played near me was when she did a concert at Webster Hall in NYC on February 10th, 2007, again probably during the same tour. I was 7 years old at the time of that concert, so again, too young to go, though it wasn’t during a school night. Then the next time she played near me was when she did a concert at the Irving Plaza in NYC on April 11th, 2007, again touring Alright, Still. At the time of that concert, I was 8 years old, so again, still too young to go, and it was yet again during a school night. She then came back to do a concert at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC on May 30th, 2007 (again touring Alright Still), but again, I was just 8 years old at the time of that show, so again I was too young to go and it was again during a school night. She then returned to the Roseland Ballroom in NYC on June 12th, 2007, and gave a concert there during the Alright, Still tour. So again I was 8 years old at the time of that show, so I was again too young to go, and I believe it was during a school night. She then returned to NYC and gave a concert at the Warsaw in Brooklyn on June 17th, 2007 (again touring for Alright Still), supported by Aaron LaCrate and Kevin Michael. At the time of that show, I was (surprise, surprise!) 8 years old, so again I was too young to go, though it was not during a school night. She then didn’t come back to NYC for 2 years, and then after 2 years, she gave a concert at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC on February 10th, 2009, during her It’s Not Me It’s You tour, and she was supported by Matt and Kim and Trouble Andrew. At the time of that show, I was 9 years old, so I was still too young at the time to go, and again, it was during a school night. She then came back to NYC during that same tour and gave a concert at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC on April 20th, 2009, supported by a band called Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. At the time of that show I was 10 years old, so I was getting there in terms of maturity for concerts, but still too young to go and again, it was during a school night. She then didn’t play near me for the next 5 years, but she returned to New York for her Bangerz tour (supporting her Sheezus album) and played a show at the Highline Ballroom in NYC on May 15th, 2014. The next day after that, she did a show at the Grand Ballroom at the Manhattan Center in NYC on May 16th, 2014, and then she did a show at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale in Nassau County on August 1st, 2014, where she supported Miley Cyrus, Icona Pop and Sky Ferreira. She then returned and did two shows during the Bangerz tour at Terminal 5 in NYC on September 23rd-24th, 2014, where she was supported by Lolawolf. At the time of these shows, I was 15 years old, so I was finally old enough to go, but three of those dates fell on a school night, another fell on a family member’s birthday party and the Nassau one was a LONG drive away and I was away at sleepaway camp in the Catskills. Then, she didn’t play in the US for 4 more years, and during that time, I graduated from high school & went to college/uni at McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland, from late August 2017 to late May 2022. The next time she came to the states and played a show near my hometown and near my college was during the No Shame tour when she did a show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn on April 23rd, 2018, and then during that same tour she did a show at Terminal 5 in NYC on October 20th, 2018, then she did come near me the next day when she did a show at the Fillmore Silver Spring in Silver Spring, Maryland on October 21st, 2018. At the time of those shows, I was 19 years old, so again I was old enough to go, but I was broke and two of those dates were a long drive away from me (and I didn’t drive either) and I had a lot of homework to do, and one of those dates fell on a day when I had classes, so I couldn’t go. Then the next time to see her happened when she did two dates on June 2nd and 3rd, 2019 at Governor’s Ball in Randall’s Island, where she followed The Strokes, Nas, Charli XCX and SZA. At the time of these shows, I was 20 years old and I had come back home for summer vacation, so I could have gone, but there were family events happening at the same time, so I couldn’t go. She has not played another show near me since then in the past 4 years.
