Maisie Peters is Coming Home!
Written by Ella Nelson Edited by Eve Moat
On June 23rd this year, Maisie Peters released her 15-track sophomore album The Good Witch.
For the past two and a half months, she has been touring North America with a great run of 27
shows and over 42,000 ticket sales. Now, Maisie Peters is coming home.
The Sussex-born 23 year old is kicking off the UK leg of The Good Witch Tour in
Glasgow before coming down to Leeds on Thursday 19th October to play the O2 Academy.
Known for being the host of a rowdy Bongo’s Bingo and the student classic Indie Thursday, the
O2 Academy turns into a cozy and personal place for a concert. The venue has a concert
capacity of roughly 2,000 people and has previously been played by artists such as
Ellie Goulding, Twenty One Pilots, Holly Humberstone, and Conan Gray.
Fans can expect an intimate yet exciting show, as Maisie has spent a good chunk of her career
building a loyal and loving fanbase. Energetic and encaptivating, she has displayed a great
ability to tie in the audience during her performances. Maisie’s discography provides a good mix for a lot of different personalities with a nice balance between slow and fast songs and she is often recognized for her honest and open lyrics, making her very representative of a 20-something year old self-proclaimed teenage girl – some may even say that she is reminiscent of Taylor Swift.

In association with her album release, Maisie was interviewed for a feature in i-D where she spoke about her songwriting, career, and the transition from girlhood to womanhood. She has been making music since the young age of 15 and she argues that this album is ‘her truth’. “Maisie Peters creates whole universes within her music”, i-D writes. “It’s where her daydreams play out and her relationships are recalibrated; where people become objects of anger, lust, and more often than not, make-believe.”
Since the June release of The Good Witch, Maisie has proved her ever-growing presence in the
industry, playing, amongst other things, a headline show at Radio City Music Hall and multiple
festivals, including Lollapalooza Chicago and Glastonbury. Her rising popularity is a testament to
her prospering success and if you haven’t already, secure your ticket to The Good Witch Tour
before it’s too late!
The Good Witch Deluxe Edition, with six new songs, is out October 27th.
