Kelsy Karter & The Heroines Ignite Cologne with Glam, Grit and Heart

Kelsy Karter & The Heroines kicked off their very first European headline tour with a bang at MTC in Cologne - and what a debut it was. The Australian-British band brought their explosive energy, unapologetic style, and raw emotion to the stage, creating a night fans won’t forget soon.

The tour celebrates their new album LOVE MADE ME DO IT, a bold and emotionally charged record that blends glam rock swagger with the rebellious spirit of '80s punk. From gritty guitar riffs to vulnerable ballads, the album is a carefully crafted piece of art that reflects both chaos and clarity. Karter’s heart shines through the grit and glitz, making LOVE MADE ME DO IT feel like an instant classic. It's a record that doesn’t just perform, it connects. The record came alive in Cologne as the band delivered their unique sound with full force, proving they’re more than ready to conquer the stages of the world in 2025.

From the moment Kelsy stepped on stage, the crowd was locked in. The venue’s close quarters amplified the energy, making the show feel like an underground rock ritual. Kelsy’s dynamic presence on stage was magnetic, but it was her stepping down into the crowd multiple times that truly broke the barrier between artist and audience. Singing face-to-face with fans, she created a space where everyone felt seen, heard, and part of something bigger making it feel like one big rock ‘n’ roll family reunion.The atmosphere inside MTC was electric: loud, sweaty, and joyful. Everyone in the room was clearly having the time of their lives. One memorable moment saw Kelsy being poured a glass of wine on stage; she clinked glasses with a fan in true rockstar fashion, toasting the night like the celebration it was.

Still, amidst the high-octane energy, riotous riffs and punk-fueled anthems, there were moments of raw emotion. Kelsy didn’t shy away from letting her heart show. Those quieter parts of the night reminded us that rock 'n' roll isn’t just about being loud, it’s about being real.Her openness added depth to the show, showing that LOVE MADE ME DO IT isn’t just about heartbreak and rebellion, it’s also about healing.

Their first-ever headline show in Europe, this was not just a gig - it was a statement. Kelsy Karter & The Heroines have arrived, and they’re here to shake things up. With more stops ahead fans across Germany, Netherlands and the UK still have the chance to catch this unforgettable live experience.

If Cologne was any indication, 2025 is going to be the year Kelsy Karter & The Heroines take the world by storm.
