Taylor Acorn Shines on Night Two of a Sold-Out Run at The Dome London [Show Review]

On April 25, 2026, the second of two sold-out nights at The Dome in North London, Taylor Acorn delivered the kind of performance that reminded everyone why intimate venues can often create the most memorable live shows. With both evenings completely sold out, there was already a sense of occasion before a note had even been played. The room was packed, the anticipation was obvious, and from the moment the lights dropped, it was clear Taylor Acorn was going to deliver an outstanding show.

Before Taylor Acorn, it was the duty of Wilt to warm up the fans. The female-fronted five-piece delivered a captivating set to a full venue, a feat not always afforded to opening acts. Their sound proved a fitting match for the night ahead, and any initial expectations quickly faded as they found their rhythm. A standout moment came with their cover of “All the Things She Said” by t.A.T.u., a bold choice that was given a fresh and engaging spin. By the end of their set, the crowd was fully warmed up, with dancing already breaking out across the venue.

In near darkness, Taylor Acorn’s guitarist and drummer emerged first, with an instrumental piece setting the tone for the night ahead. As Taylor appeared, grinning from ear to ear, the crowd reacted immediately. Opening with “Poster Child,” she seized control of the room instantly, drawing the audience in and encouraging them to take over vocal moments. It was a powerful start, one that felt almost too big for the intimate space. Throughout, guitarist Ricky Jab added another layer of energy, his movement and presence impossible to ignore.

Without pause, “People Pleaser” followed, and without needing any instruction, the crowd began clapping along in unison. While Taylor remained the focal point, the band around her continued to impress, matching her intensity beat for beat. By the time “I Think I’m In Love” arrived, the venue had reached full momentum. Fans sang every word back at her, and the connection between artist and audience was undeniable. The reaction at the end of the track drew the loudest cheer of the night, at least so far.

Taking a moment to speak to the crowd, Taylor acknowledged both sold-out nights, praised Wilt, and revealed she was feeling slightly under the weather. If she hadn’t said it, it would have gone unnoticed, as her performance throughout the night was flawless. Introducing “Coma,” whilst Cassadee Pope’s contribution, she delivered a slower, more heartfelt yet still impactful moment, showing that her quieter songs carry just as much weight as her bigger songs.

Tracks from Taylor’s latest record,  Poster Child,  continued to land perfectly, with “Blood on Your Hands” keeping the crowd moving and “Cheap Dopamine” offering a more reflective shift in tone. Highlighting the talent on stage, Taylor introduced Connor Allen on drums, who delivered an outstanding solo that drew a huge reaction from the audience. This seamlessly fed into “Goodbye, Good Riddance,” where fists flew and the crowd sang every word back with intensity.

The emotional core of the set came through again with “Burning House,” before shifting into “Certified Depressant,” a track from the album of the same name, which Taylor described as one that changed her life. That context added even more weight to the performance, with the crowd responding fully by singing back to her. “Home Videos” was preluded by Taylor reflecting on the loss of her father before picking up an acoustic guitar and bringing the venue to a standstill as the audience was completely captivated by the beauty and depth of the lyrics.

From there, the pace built again with “Crashing Out,” before moving into “Hangman,” each track maintaining the connection between Taylor and the crowd. Despite mentioning earlier struggles with her voice, Taylor delivered every moment with professionalism, precision and passion. “Greener” and “Birds Still Sing” followed, each helping to bring the night toward its conclusion on a high note. The encore of “Shapeshifting” and fan favourite “Psycho” provided one final surge of energy, sending the crowd home buzzing after an outstanding performance.

What made the night even more impressive was the choice behind it. Rather than opting for a single larger venue, Taylor Acorn chose to play two nights at The Dome, creating a far more intimate and connected experience for her fans. It’s a commendable decision that paid off completely, making every moment feel bigger, louder, and more personal. On a sold-out second night in London, she delivered a performance that will live long in the memory of everyone in attendance.
