'Magnificent Theatrical Wizardry' - Self Esteem's sold-out stint at Beacon Hall

A group of people stand closely together on stage wearing matching black and white tracksuits. A person with shoulder-length blonde hair wearing a black t-shirt with 'thabks!' printed on it in neon green lettering stands in the centre holding a microphone.

Earlier this month, Self Esteem (aka Rebecca Louise Taylor) lit up Bristol Beacon with an incredible run of three sold-out shows from Fri 3 –  Sun 5 October 2025 as part of her critically-acclaimed ‘A Complicated Woman’ tour.

Over the course of three nights, Rebecca brought stacks of lush, layered vocals, theatrical staging, a choir of backing vocalists, dancers – and even some inflatables to Beacon Hall for an immersive, celebratory and cathartic experience like no other. She was also joined on stage by both Nadine Shah and Moonchild Sanelly – who joined Self Esteem as support acts for the entire tour, for moments of joyous collaborations.
