What do you get when you mix glittering guitars, full-throttle vocals, and a lineup packed with femme power? The answer: Honey Revenge at Brooklyn Bowl Philly — and trust us, it was everything.

From the moment the doors opened, the energy inside the venue was electric. Vana, Daisy Grenade, and Nightlife didn’t just set the tone, they detonated it. Nightlife’s shoutout to the Pride community hit right in the heart, and the wave of crowd support that followed? Chills. All three openers embodied the same message the entire tour screams loud and clear: feminine energy is not just present in the alternative scene, it’s running the show.

Then came Honey Revenge, and the crowd lost it. Kicking things off with their brand-new single “Risk,” they didn’t ease in, they charged. Within seconds, bodies were in the air, fans were screaming every lyric, and it was clear: this was going to be a night to remember.

Devin Papadol is a force. Vocals? Flawless. Charisma? Off the charts. Whether she was leading the charge from center stage or sharing little moments of connection between songs, she had the room in the palm of her hand. And Donny Lloyd on guitar brought the fire, his playing adding grit and edge to every sugary hook. The chemistry between them? Unreal.

The setlist was packed with fan favorites and tour staples, “Airhead,” “Rerun,” “Sensitive,” “Worst Apology,” and the undeniable crowd singalong “Distracted.” If you weren’t screaming, you were probably crying. Or both.

There’s something magical about a room where every voice is heard, every gender expression celebrated, and every scream feels like release. That was June 18th. That was Honey Revenge. That was Philly.

This tour isn’t just a series of shows, it’s a movement. One that says loud and clear: the girls, the gays, and the theys are not here to take sides. They’re here to take stages.

And Honey Revenge? They’re leading the charge.
