The anticipation for FKA Twigs<\/a>\u2019 show could be felt around Miami many hours before door time. Earlier in the day, when I went to a popular vintage store on Biscayne Boulevard to pick up the last piece to complete my outfit, I was told that several people had visited throughout the day for the same reason: everyone wanted to look the part for the upcoming communal celebration<\/a>.<\/p>\n The British musician, who recently won a Grammy Award for her album Eusexua <\/a>(Best Dance\/Electronic Album), kicked off her Body High tour in Miami last night \u2014 her first U.S. tour since before the pandemic, and first Miami show since 2014.<\/a><\/p>\n Upon arrival at Factory Town<\/a> a few minutes past 8 p.m., Eartheater<\/a>\u2019s enchanting voice could be heard from the lines outside, luring people in like a mermaid.<\/p>\n Once inside, it became clear that, as Twigs had mentioned in our conversation a few days earlier, she had created a safe space for thousands of people thriving in self-expression. The exact number: 5,500 people, marking a sold-out performance.<\/p>\n The soundtrack between sets helped set the tone for the night, playing British \u201990s classics by Massive Attack and Radiohead.<\/p>\n At 9 p.m., the lights went dark, and Twigs appeared on the floor wearing a white tank top and white shorts. The soft melody of \u201cMirrored Heart\u201d began to play, cutting through the screaming fans. The stripped-down entrance highlighted Twigs\u2019 strength in vulnerability and opened the night that would become a full feast: classics from her catalog, acclaimed songs from Eusexua, unreleased tracks, and techno remixes of new hits.<\/p>\n The stage was composed of scaffolding, two dance poles, a giant screen, and several mobile props that dancers moved in and out throughout the performance. The live band was set up atop the left scaffold \u2014 not in the forefront, but adding an extra human layer to a performance already full of emotion.<\/p>\n The dancers took center stage. With Twigs being a gifted dancer herself, expectations for the choreography were high \u2014 and they were more than exceeded. The dancers were not there simply for entertainment or to back up Twigs. They became angels, props, aerialists suspended on chains, and musicians. At times, they created orgy-like tableaux; at others, they seemed like extensions of Twigs\u2019 own body, repeatedly forming entirely new beings onstage.<\/p>\n What started as a stripped-down performance slowly transformed into a surrealistic night out, with a mercurial mood shifting from a bright, colorful party to a haunting techno dance floor.<\/p>\n The visuals were as eclectic as Twigs\u2019 music, evolving through colors, textures (lots of textures), and layers. At times, they incorporated fragments of live recordings of the crowd and the dancers themselves, captured by a handheld camera operated by one of the performers. At moments, the visuals recalled the raw shadow play and surrealism of Anton Corbijn, but viewed through a modern lens. In one song, Twigs pretended to cut one of her dancers with a sword, while the screen behind her splashed with projected blood.<\/p>\n Photo by Flor Franceschetti<\/p>\n Midway through the two-hour set, Twigs paused to thank the crowd, saying that starting her Body High tour in Miami was \u201ctruly something special.\u201d She added, \u201cIt means so much to start the tour here,\u201d and took a moment to thank her team \u2014 calling them superheroes \u2014 as well as the fans and concertgoers for creating a safe space where everyone could thrive.<\/p>\n Later in the set, a moment of stillness came. Twigs exited the stage briefly, changed into more comfortable clothes, and returned to sit in the center alongside her guitar player. As they began warming up on the first chords of the song, Twigs stopped the show after noticing a fan in the crowd who needed assistance. She offered water and asked security to help them. The moment repeated itself as Twigs, dancers, and musicians ran backstage to grab bottles and distribute water to the front rows. The gesture reassured the crowd of Twigs\u2019s care and attentiveness toward her fans.<\/p>\n As a known shapeshifter, Twigs changed outfits countless times, as did her dancers \u2014 moving from simple fabric accents to elaborate costumes. The wardrobe design added yet another layer of craftsmanship to the production.<\/p>\n![\"Photo](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FKA-Twigs_-Miami.jpg\")
