Phoebe Bridgers performed her first solo concert since 2023 at the Liberty in Roswell, New Mexico, on May 8, playing to a crowd of 400 without any phones allowed. Bridgers showcased familiar hits and debuted new material, offering a glimpse into her upcoming third album.
New Songs and Collaborations
During the performance, Bridgers played popular songs such as “Motion Sickness,” “Kyoto,” and “Garden Song.” She also introduced new tracks, one of which reportedly touches on the death of her father in 2023. Bridgers was joined onstage by Christian Lee Hutson, a frequent collaborator.
Event Details and Future Plans
Bridgers described the intimate concert as a “test” for future shows. The following day, on May 9, flyers for another performance surfaced in Lubbock, Texas, though Bridgers’ team has not provided further details. Each attendee at the Roswell event received a piece of a painting in the pouches used to store their phones; fans speculate these fragments may form the cover of her next album.
Merchandise and Lyrics
New merchandise available at the concert appeared to feature lyrics from an unreleased song, reading: “Now I can't see any stars in the sky. When a dream comes true, a fantasy dies…but we’re gonna be alright, me and you.”
Bridgers' Career Highlights
Bridgers' last album, Punisher, was released in 2020, followed by the song “Sidelines” in 2022, part of the Conversations With Friends soundtrack. Since then, she has worked with artists like Rob Moose, the National, Arlo Parks, SZA, and Andrew Bird. Bridgers is also a member of the supergroup boygenius, alongside Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus. In 2024, boygenius won three Grammys for their debut album, The Record.
