Lola Young<\/a> has played her first show since taking a break for her mental health, and has told fans that she \u201ccan\u2019t wait\u201d to release new music.<\/p>\n

The gig took place last night (Wednesday March 4) at the Palladium in London<\/a>, and marked the first headline performance from the former NME Cover star<\/a> in 2026.<\/p>\n

It also was her first since cancelling a tour in 2025 to recover from exhaustion<\/a>, after she collapsed on stage in New York City<\/a>. Following the gig, Young took to Instagram to reassure fans that she was \u201cdoing OK\u201d<\/a> after being carried off stage by a medical team, but later announced that she would be pulling out of her Washington DC set at All Things Go the next day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She was also due to embark on a UK tour in the autumn<\/a>, but went on to take a break from all commitments for the \u201cforeseeable future\u201d to focus on her mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Last night, she returned to the stage for her first headline show since then, and told fans that she was \u201cso back\u201d and ready to get on stage again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Her set began with acoustic renditions of \u2018Bad Game (3AM)\u2019, \u2018Spiders\u2019, \u2018Walk All Over You\u2019, \u2018Why Do I Feel Better When I Hurt You\u2019, and \u2018Sad Sob Story!\u2019, before a full band joined her for \u2018D\u00a3aler\u2019, \u2018Conceited\u2019 and more.<\/p>\n

She saved her huge hit \u2018Messy\u2019 for the end of the show, and told fans that she sees it as the \u201csong that\u2019s changed my life\u201d, and added: \u201cYou continue to change mine every day so thank you for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Music is coming\u2026<\/a>

\u201cSix months ago everything was off for me. I knew I needed to deal with some stuff and take time out and with that came huge insecurity about my career,\u201d she said. \u201cI was genuinely fearful that I might lose my moment, a moment I\u2019d spent over 10 years grafting for. So this is such a huge moment of affirmation for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[But] when things get dark and I\u2019m not doing well, knowing that I can still come back is incredibly rewarding. More rewarding than any award will ever be,\u201d she added. \u201cI love you and can\u2019t wait to put new music out and continue this journey with you in my corner.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The singer also hinted at getting back to writing again at the end of 2025, after she was seen at Lily Allen\u2019s Christmas party in London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am hoping to gradually get back to performing and continuing pursuing my dreams. Happy holidays to you all and can\u2019t wait to see you in 2026,\u201d she wrote online. \u201cLife is a journey, nothing is perfect but today I am doing well. All my love always, Lola.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lola Young has played her first show since taking a break for her mental health, and has told…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520595,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,1770,136,11255],"class_list":["post-520594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-indie","tag-music","tag-pop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
