Showday Ljubljana

Today we arrived in Ljubljana, a city where, as far as we could remember, Eivør hadn't played a headline show before. We arrived early, the backstage area was ready, and it was already incredibly warm.

My concession lady, zoe, wasn't arriving until 3 p.m., so I had plenty of time to do a full stock count of everything left in the trailer. Once that was done, I could relax a little backstage and take it easy before the show.

When Zoe arrived, it was clear they hadn't quite figured out the setup yet, so things felt a little strange at first. In the end, I decided it was easiest to just let her use our setup and helped her arrange everything so it looked similar to how we normally present the eivor merchandise. After that, I let her do her thing.

I had a fairly quiet evening. I helped Eivør with some more hair pieces and spent most of the night taking it easy. Sales weren't the biggest, but considering it was around 35°C outside and there was no air conditioning inside the venue, it wasn't exactly ideal for selling merchandise. When people are already hot and sweaty, the last thing they want is to carry around a hoodie or stand in a warm room waiting for their merch.

We can't have a big-selling show every night, and that's okay. After the show, we packed up and continued on. I went to bed relatively early because tomorrow is Brutal Assault and that's the show I've been looking forward to most on this tour.Read more
