Before The Bloom: Maisie Peters Takes The Stage at Astra Kulturhaus in Berlin
On Friday, March 20th, 2026, Maisie Peters touched down in Berlin once again, for the second time this year. After visiting Germany’s capital just last month for a small acoustic show and Q&A at Ocelot, a cozy bookstore, as well as an exclusive interview with THE UNSEEN Magazine (which you can read right here), this time around, a few more people got the chance to see the British singer live.
Alongside announcing her upcoming third studio album Florescence earlier this year, she also revealed a run of intimate “Before The Bloom” shows.
And while it was an intimate show, the venue was still packed to the brim, and it got hot pretty quickly as many fans gathered to see Maisie and be among the first to hear the new songs live.
Kicking things off in Europe, Maisie had a special surprise up her sleeve. Proving once again that listening to your fans really does pay off. Not only did she bring Essence Martins along to open the show, but she also included a clear fan favorite with the newly added “Yoko”. The reaction said it all, with screams erupting the second she started singing it. It might have even rivaled the iconic bridge of “Lost The Breakup”, where Peters switches up the lyrics depending on the city she’s playing.
With Maisie having just visited, you might assume she picked up some German. And you’d be right. Showing off with a classic “Ich liebe dich” (“I love you”), she shared a funny anecdote that, of course, turned into a bit of a cheeky dick-joke. Honestly, when the opportunity presents itself on a silver platter, you can’t really blame her.
One song that definitely got stuck in everyone’s heads was “Vampire Time”, an unreleased, incredibly fun track that practically leaves you no choice but to dance along. Make sure to give it a listen once it’s out; it’s already a personal favorite.
Overall, it was a relatively short show, but it delivered exactly what was promised: a little tour “Before The Bloom.” With Florescence set to release on May 15th, fans got a glimpse of what an “All-Florescence Tour” might feel like, while still revisiting older eras with songs like “John Hughes Movie” and “There It Goes”.
Closing the night with “My Regards”, she brought Hanniou and Gizem (aka morethangossip) on stage to perform the iconic dance together. But they weren’t the only ones dancing: while queueing before the show, fans had come up with their own sweet choreography, which they proudly presented back to Maisie, which was most likely her highlight.
Make sure to check out Maisie Peters’ album on May 15th and listen to “My Regards” while waiting:

(Live) music is one of my biggest passions, which is why I enjoy exploring pop culture in my writings. From analyzing albums to reviewing concerts. I'm especially interested in fandom culture, which often comes through in my work.
