Showday: Copenhagen

Today marks my last show of the tour, while the rest of the team continues for three more shows. Due to a delay with our Sylvaine merch delivery, Bella arrived about an hour after us, bringing the much-needed suitcase—a real blessing after a rough night. I’d woken up at 4 a.m. with a massive headache, worse than anything I’d felt before. I took some paracetamol, but when it came back an hour later, I went for naproxen, and thankfully, it helped.

Hanna is starting today, learning the ropes to replace me, and she brings such joyful energy! I have full trust in her and in Wouter, too.

Sales were slightly better than yesterday, though the Danes are generally a bit reserved with spending—probably because Eivør has played so many shows here over the past 20 years.

At least the catering was amazing, best we all had so far on this tour, they cooked like it was a star restaurant.

I made little farewell gifts for everyone: a fortune cookie, a heart-shaped chocolate, face glitter, and a personal note. And yes, that kicked off a great end-of-tour party! We had so much fun, especially since the bus wasn’t leaving until 5 a.m. I felt so happy sharing laughs and words with everyone. I can’t wait to see a bunch of them again in a few days down under.

At 5 a.m., I headed to my hotel for a quick three-hour sleep before catching my flight back home to the Netherlands.Read more
