Ballsbridge

We started around 9 with the merch team and kicked off the day with a classic English breakfast.

It was a pretty chill merchandise day for us. The merch had been shipped in from France, already pre-sorted and counted, so all we had to do was locate everything and make sure the local crew was set and ready to go.

That left me with a bit of extra time, so I started doing hair earlier than usual and got to really enjoy the catering—honestly, the best one we’ve had on the tour so far.

During warrior training, we focused on Tenet. I got a bit grumpy—probably hormonal. We learned a new prayer for the goddess, and the amulet chose me to embody her on stage tonight. It felt fitting, since my period is about to start—there’s probably no stronger symbol of femininity than that.

I started collecting greens for the crown and began working on it, only to realize (a little too late) that it was crawling with bugs. I’d already had it in my hands, and soon the dressing room was full of them.

I ran out to search for new greens, which turned out to be surprisingly difficult in Dublin—it’s not the greenest city, apparently, and I assume every leaf is already claimed by a bug. Still, I managed to find some wild bits and put together a crown for tonight.

Dinner catering was incredible again, and the ritual felt especially strong. Since I was up on the riser for two songs, my feet didn’t hurt as much either.

And then, right during the show, the moment I had the goddess amulet on, I started getting cramps and actually began bleeding. The effect was immediate and powerful. It's wild how real this ritual energy gets—like the body just knows.

We wrapped the night with an easy merch load-out and a drink on the bus.Read more
