The rhetoric around these shows being “for locals only” is genuinely confusing to me.

Has Phoebe’s team actually said these events are intended to be exclusive to locals? From what I can tell, she wants to do pop-up shows with analog promotion and a smaller, more spontaneous vibe. But she still has to perform somewhere. It’s not like the goal is “only 150 people from Mobile, Alabama and absolutely nobody else.”

I honestly don’t see why it matters where people are from. If you hear about it, can get there in time, and want to experience it, then go for it. That’s kind of the nature of pop-up events.

I just don’t really understand this “local” gatekeeping mentality people suddenly have around it.

I wanted to pop on here and bring this up because I have been seeing so many comments accusing people of doing this for each show. The comment I just read was someone commenting this on a VENUE’s tik tok. I would like to know where the proof that people are following tour busses is coming from. Personally, I went to the macon show and the majority of people at the front of the line were locals, I would know I go to school in macon. I think we really need to stop accusing people of this when we don’t have any basis of it, stop letting jealousy blind you and lead you to false allegations. Everyone should have a positive experience!!

Discussion about where you think she will play next etc. A new thread will be posted daily to keep information fresh.

Separate threads asking if she will play X city or country will be removed.

Please do not harass venues for information trying to get the inside scoop. It reflects badly on all of us. Also don’t be weird and follow the tour bus - absolutely not ok.

And another reminder that no audio/video leaks are allowed as per Phoebe’s request.

Hi everyone, welcome to week 2 or the weekly listening club thread focused on her released music.

The idea is pretty simple - each week we’ll pick one Phoebe/boygenius/BOCC song and use the thread to discuss it in depth. Favourite lyrics, live performances, interpretations, production, memories attached to it, rankings, whatever you want really.

Today we’ll be discussing Killer, which seemed appropriate given Phoebe performed the song for the first time in 7 years last night

A few prompts if you want them:
- What was your first reaction hearing it?
- Favourite live performance/version?
- Which part of the song hits hardest for you?
- Where does it rank in Phoebe’s discography?
- Has your opinion on it changed over time?

Or just ignore the prompts entirely and talk about the song. Happy listening!

UPDATE:

I ran to the store to buy 150 black masks and made a QR code to this post. A friend helped me print and laminate!!! We handed them out in line and had people scan the QR code to explain so that we could hurry and give the masks to as many people as possible before doors.

Paper was not allowed so the QR code was a huge help. People loved the idea! Some masked for the show, most didn’t, and more masked up at the end when approaching her for a signature.

She did stick around to sign peoples stuff! But she had a security guard pass the things to her from the crowd.

At the earlier shows it was reported that she was talking with fans, giving hugs etc. I understand not wanting to do this after being sick and I hope the sentiment was felt when the few of us who did mask came up to get our things signed.

She was masked for the signing as well.

She signed my 3 of cups tarot card. Which I did sneak in my bra because paper was not allowed.

I hope this catches on for other shows as she did state “I just woke up. I have the plague.” Immediately after coming onstage.

Anyway, thank you to those who participated. I hope you all had the time of your lives! It was an incredible show.

ORIGINAL POST:

To the fans who have been patiently waiting for Phoebe to visit our city:

we want to show her that she is respected and that we care!

A fan reported at the Savannah show Phoebe mentioned that she was feeling sick. She even joked about a guy accidentally spitting on her… saying “one of you guys got me sick.”

After shows 1-7 she was meeting fans, but after Savannah (#8) she didn’t meet fans, only signed things with help from her team, passing items.

To show her that we care we are asking fans to wear a mask for the meet and greet portion of the event and even decorate their mask if they feel called to! (Example: “get well soon”, or draw a ufo, bedazzle it, whatever you want.)

Also, if she plays ICU as the surprise song then put on your masks!! A little wordplay is fun :)

I will be handing out blank masks before the show to help make this happen! I can’t bring paper or anything to explain so I will be referring to this reddit post to help fans understand the significance of the mask.

I think it will be really cool if the majority of fans participate 🫶 thanks y’all. see you at the show!

If she does end up doing a bigger tour (hopefully!!), who do we think might be an opener? Any other theories?

i’m so down bad i’ve been asking all my spiritual friends to tap in and let a h0 know where PB is coming to in ohio.

What do you guys think the likelihood of phoebe coming to anchorage is ?

what are you guys wearing for the pop up shows? i know it doesn't really matter but if she ends up coming to my city/ state sometime within the next few weeks i have to either go in my school uniform or have a change of clothes in my car. so please send me ur outfit inspo or any ideas...

Has anyone opened for Phoebe at any venue? (Assuming local acts if any)
