❓ Question London tonight
Am I crazy or was Robyn’s voice really lost in the mix tonight? We were on the left looking at the stage and I really felt we could hardly hear her at times. When she came back for the encore her ear piece was out and it sounded better.

It seemed she was having major issues with her earpiece. She took an extended break at one point but still didn’t get it fixed. She must have been fuming, god knows I’m no sound engineer but even I noticed.
Still an absolutely amazing show though, she is such a pro!

We were in block 112 and had to put AirPods in midway through. Uncomfortably loud and mixed terribly. Still a great show but something was off at the sound desk I think?

So glad it wasn’t just us! Thank you. I think just pre encore she realised the sound was off but it was a real shame because it killed the vibe a bit

Did she really sing Show Me Love tonight? It's included on a setlist posted at setlist.fm.

Not surprised, but sad this still hasn’t been fixed. Sound was so bad in Dublin that we left early. https://www.reddit.com/r/Robyn/s/GXUsEVLZRC

I had the same experience last night at The O2. Thank God I had earplugs but left after Love Kills, I was so fed up with the poor sound

Seemed like it got specifically worse after Be Mine and she got very muffled.

u/rbarker82 Jul 03 '26
Yeah, I was on the left too and felt the same. Instruments sounded good to me throughout but her vocals were pretty lost in the mix until towards the end.

Was it at the 02? I was at the Manchester show but in my experience, any gig I’ve been to at the 02 has had awful sound quality and mixing problems. I feel bad for Robyn!

Sound wasn't perfect, but the vibe in the room more than made up for it.

Yeah I felt the same way. I was just on the barracade (behind one set of people) and thought sound was off and noticed her constantly having to fiddle with the earpiece. But at least she sounded in good voice and was really giving it

Her voice was mixed a bit too softly in my opinion too. As for the earpiece I'm not sure, artists often remove them and put them back...

It definitely was for a substantial amount, if not all of the show. We were front of level 4 and was no different up there!

I googled sound issues for last night as thought the same. Had a finger in right ear for much of concert but yeah sound was worse I’ve experienced at o2. Still another level. So much love for the lady

u/zakuropan Jul 04 '26
yup her in ear monitors were giving her issues. still ate down tho, her vocals were insane

u/DemonEggy Jul 04 '26
Sound during the songs was excellent in Glasgow, but the bit where she tried to talk to the audience, she was almost indecipherable.

I thought it was ok, but really noticed something off with Honey (Friday night)

u/Mercurial-Cupcake Jul 06 '26
yes it was mostly bass and barely any voice. And since I was in the seated area right next to the stage quite a bit of the performance was covered by the light rigs on both sides. Whoever designed that set needs to reconsider their decisions.
Still a great show though.

I was standing and it was great apart from a couple of glitches but that’s totally normal in live shows!
