On February 18th Anna of the North visited Poland, with a concert at Niebo in Warsaw. A concert of Anna of the North is like a mix between electric subtlety and emotional intensity. Her show is the best for people who like to listen to dream pop, synth pop and melancholic pop. Her performance was gentle but confident. The way she presents on stage is so beautiful. All the lights are so well connected with her presence on stage and her outfit. She sings about emotions and you can see that it moves the audience. What captivated me most about this concert was the way Anna connected with the audience. She didn’t say much, but her gestures, smiles, and fleeting glances made me feel as if she were speaking directly to me.
During the slower, more reflective pieces, the stage closeness was almost palpable, these moments contrasted with the more energetic sections of the concert, where it was hard to resist moving your body in time with the music. She doesn’t really care about the
effects on stage like fireworks or confetti. It’s just her, her voice, music and connection between the public. The show looks authentic and has a really warm, nice climate. It can get people involved in an intimate atmosphere even in a bigger venue. The setlist is balanced between nostalgic and new energy from classics to calm moments. Her concerts feature both older hits like ‘Someone’ and ‘Lovers’, as well as newer tracks from her latest projects. For example ‘Give Me Your Love Back’, which received great fan feedback, creating a seamless, nostalgic, yet joyful journey through her discography. Anna can dance, sing, and simultaneously convey emotion in a compelling way without unnecessary extra effects. Her wardrobe and stage movements are often simple (white shirt and black pants) yet authentic, adding to the charm of her concerts and giving the impression that she truly enjoys the moment with the audience.
The lights changed gently to the rhythm of the music, from cool, blue tones in melancholic moments to warmer colours during more energetic tracks, which introduced an additional visual dimension, enhancing the perception of the music. Despite the small crowd, the atmosphere was really nice, touching and moving. The audience responded enthusiastically, clapping, singing along, and often raising their hands as if to absorb all her energy. Anna, though modest, was able to sense every reaction, adapting her movements and gestures to ensure everyone in attendance felt part of the concert world. This sense of community was one of the most moving aspects of the entire event. After leaving the venue, I felt I had witnessed something truly special. An Anna of the North concert isn’t just about music, it’s an emotional journey that will stay in the memory for a long time. Every song, every look, and every smile from the artist make her performances seem sincere and authentic.
An Anna of the North concert is the perfect blend of intimacy, nostalgia, and positive energy. It’s an event that leaves not only musical memories but, above all, emotional ones, demonstrating that the power of music lies not in grand stage effects, but in the artist’s sincerity and authenticity. Often, it’s not the attendance that matters, but how the audience connects with the artist and enjoys the experience.
