Hush Hush Tour: Geordie Kieffer and Lilyisthatyou! - Winnipeg, MB

On October 3, 2025, the Burton Cummings Theatre in Winnipeg was transformed into a decadent, high-voltage playground of sensuality, satire, and self-liberation as the Hush Hush Tour rolled through town, featuring DIY, indie pop provocateur Lilyisthatyou! and the ever-outrageous Geordie Kieffer. Together, the two brought a night that was equal parts confessional and chaotic—a glorious collision of electro-pop, alt-funk, and unapologetic honesty that left the crowd breathless, blushing, and begging for more.

Opening the night, Lilyisthatyou! delivered a magnetic performance that fused pop allure with emotional vulnerability. Dressed in her signature bold style—playful yet commanding—she kicked off her set with “Fool,” instantly drawing the audience into her world of heartbreak, hedonism, and healing. Her vocals were as piercing as they were tender, weaving through tracks like “FMRN” and “How Could You” with both bite and charm.

Midway through, the mood shifted as Lily slowed things down with “Relax After Work With A Drink” and “Siren,” her voice drenched in longing over atmospheric beats. Her live rendition of “Hard To Love” showcased both her vocal control and her charisma—effortlessly balancing self-awareness with swagger.

Songs like “Canadian Idol” and “Professional” highlighted Lily’s clever lyricism, turning self-doubt and societal pressure into glitter-covered empowerment anthems. The emotional centrepiece came with the song, “For Eve,” a song dedicated to self-acceptance and loss, where the crowd swayed in near-silence under the soft glow of stage lights.

As the set closed with “All About Me,” Lily turned the theatre into a dancefloor one last time, blending confidence and catharsis in one explosive finale. Her ability to make vulnerability feel rebellious and freedom feel intimate made her set a triumph—one that blurred the line between performance and personal revelation. Then came Geordie Kieffer—and with him, pure chaos in the best possible way. A natural showman and provocateur, Kieffer stormed the stage to “Swinger,” instantly electrifying the room with his outrageous energy and tongue-in-cheek swagger. His set was a wild, genre-bending spectacle—blending elements of funk, rock, and electronic sleaze with theatrical flair.

“The Car Song” and “Banana Bag” had the crowd laughing, dancing, and shouting every word, while “ICON KILLER” and “Bad Boy” amped up the adrenaline, transforming the theatre into a sweaty celebration of chaos and charisma. Between songs, Kieffer’s banter was equal parts absurd and endearing—part rockstar, part stand-up comedian.

The encore, “Sex Party,” was a raucous grand finale—part carnival, part sermon—complete with flashing lights, crowd chants, and Geordie’s signature blend of chaos and control. It was the kind of performance that felt dangerous, hilarious, and undeniably magnetic all at once.

The Hush Hush Tour in Winnipeg wasn’t just a concert—it was a declaration of artistic freedom. Lilyisthatyou! offered the raw emotional honesty of a pop poet learning to thrive in her own skin, while Geordie Kieffer embodied the wild spirit of absurdist rebellion. Together, they made vulnerability and absurdity coexist—two sides of the same, fearless coin.

By the end of the night, as the lights dimmed and fans spilled out into the cool autumn air, one thing was clear: the Hush Hush Tour didn’t whisper—it shouted, seduced, and soared.
