La Roux

Elly Jackson's return to the public eye earlier this year has been met with unanimous 'oohs' and 'aahs'. As La Roux, she redefined the rulebook on electro-pop, belting out stunning modern classics like “Bulletproof”, “Quicksand”, “I'm Not Your Toy”, and – of course – “In For The Kill”. The latter, remixed by Skream, helped bring dubstep into the public consciousness back in the heady halcyon yesteryear of 2009; truly, Jackson's dent on the musical world has been both vital and mammoth. In from the cold, her new record sees her tackle tropical synths and the sugary glee of '80s synthpop. Now sans original producer Ben Langsmaid, La Roux's approach has been self-described as “sexier”; whether that's categorically true is yet to be decided, but what is certain is the ability that Jackson has in live scenarios. There were rumours that she'd departed the industry due to anxiety of performing live, but these days, you'd never tell. Stomping around with oomph, purpose and a heady confidence, Jackson and her trademark rouge shock explode with technicolour pomp and hook-riddled tunes.
It's great to have her back, that's for sure, and now that she's most certainly back in our lives – a nice-size tour and festival stints are harbingers of her impending pop necessity – we can relax and dance the night away once more.

Amazing. The entire show was amazing. This is the second time I've been lucky enough to see La Roux live and they never disappoint. Elly Jackson has one of the most beautiful and unique voices I've ever heard, and her band is just as enthusiastic to be there as she is. Her music has the ability to get you so pumped and she is just so captivating and fantastic to watch. She gets so into it, is always smiling, and does a great job of interacting with her fans while on stage. I've loved her music since 2012 when I first found 'I'm Not Your Toy' and 'In for the Kill.' I'll admit I was a little late to jump on the bandwagon, but I've been a diehard fan ever since. The first time I saw her was in 2013 at Coachella and I was in tears the whole time. This last Friday, when she performed at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium with New Order, I was fortunate enough to meet her behind the venue after the show and take a picture with her. She was so kind and reassured us that she'd be returning to the area soon. I would recommend her show to anyone. She is truly fantastic live.

La Roux's show was one of the most phenomenal live events I've been to in months. Not only was the opening band, Midnight Magic, perfected selected to compliment La Roux's synth-disco sound on Trouble in Paradise, but the lead singer, Tiffany Roth, was engaging and personal with the crowd. As for La Roux's performance, it left me for almost an hour and a half dancing maniacally, changing lyrics along with Elly Jackson, and basking in the raw energy of the crowd. A perfectly balanced set list between new material and old strung the viewer along on an epic, high paced musical journey that truly left me wondering how I could ever listen to their albums for fear of tarnishing the performance I saw last night. In short, if you're looking for a great concert that leaves you muttering lyrics under your breath for days and randomly feeling the urge to stomp your feet and dance, look no further, because La Roux has delivered after almost 4 years of agonizing waiting.

"This time baby, I will beeeee bulleeeeeeeet- prooooof!" La Roux is a can't miss classic due to the melodic rhythmic beats that puts several attendees in a state of endorphins unparallaled ...and I'm not talking about illegal substances.. La Roux includes a female exceptional vocalist that brings forth a refreshing voice that is a great change of pace from the predictable bass sounds that dub step gets old... don't miss this show ever!

Saw la roux for the first time two months ago. As soon as I saw them on sale for koko London I had to go. I would see them again and again. Absolutely amazing live again. Full of energy, amazing voice. Can't wait to see if there be a third album after waiting so long for second to arrive.

It's been so long since the first album I was really excited by the style of the second and how different it felt. Having been 'away' for so long I was really impressed with the mix of new and old music and la Roux didn't leave her fans wanting what we all loved from the beginning.

La Roux in KOKO was a dream. The venue is gorgeous and she played for an hour and a bit all her big hits, she was really good, sound was amazing and me and my friends had a lovely time. I would definitely repeat!

Disappointing, arrived at 7:15, no support act and she didn't come on until 9pm and finished around 10pm. We expected more for the price, liked some of her new songs but really expected more from her.

Setlist was decent although missing a few songs which was a little annoying because she was only on for about an hour. She was fun though. Great venue. Met and insulted Tom Hiddleston.

We loved it!!! Our stay in london became so much more magical after this concert. La roux is awesome, her voice, her dance moves, simply the best. And i loved the band!!
