PVRIS waltzed into their sold-out White Noise 10th Anniversary show at KOKO, London, like they owned the place — and they did.

The evening began with singer-songwriter and chosen opener Julia Wolf, who didn’t leave anyone indifferent. Singles like In My Room set the tone for a night of nostalgia, as she dedicated Jennifer’s Body to Megan Fox — a nod to the iconic cult film.It’s impossible to dissociate Julia Wolf’s repertoire from the pop-punk sound that the main demographic at the concert — individuals in their mid to late 20s and early 30s — grew up listening to. In a recent TikTok, a creator mentioned that if Julia Wolf had started making music in the early 2000s, she would’ve been on the Twilight soundtrack — and we concur.

The singer has playfully leaned into this, even creating edits on her personal TikTok account featuring Twilight characters. Promising a solo return in December, Wolf warmed up the audience beautifully.

From the moment Lynn Gunn took the stage, it was clear why PVRIS is so beloved in the alt-emo scene and beyond. The crowd, evenly split but with a strong presence of queer emo fans, was enthralled from the jump. Though the set had two parts, it was White Noise — played in its entirety — that stole the show in a performance that felt both like a celebration and deeply nostalgic.

Songs like White Noise, Smoke, and the self-righteous My House had the crowd jumping and screaming every lyric — a cathartic moment that rippled from the balcony to the pit. It was clear the audience was there to have fun, and that was the main goal. Gunn’s stage presence — commanding and bold — demonstrated just how much the band has carved their own path, despite constant comparisons to other female-fronted bands, such as Paramore.

“The UK, and especially London, has always felt like home,” Gunn told the crowd. The minimal staging and immersive lighting, which resembled the misty atmosphere of the album’s artwork, amplified the nostalgic and sombre tone of the set. The fact that it was held at KOKO — one of London’s most majestic venues — proved to be the perfect choice.

Unlike many shows plagued by still audiences and phones in the air, this crowd was fully present — dancing and having a good time. It felt like being a teen again, singing in the car with friends, windows down. It was a masterclass in consistency, craft, and staying true to your sound — and ten years on, White Noise lives on and remains as topical as ever.
