Review: I’ve been a big fan of Doechii ever since I saw her perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. She performed two songs with backup dancers, and the entire choreography and production were fantastic. It truly felt like a new artist was emerging—one unlike anyone we’d seen before. Fast-forward to her Grammy performance, and I knew she was someone I needed to see live.
If you’re a Verizon member, you might already know about their perks program. Last year, I actually won a $200 Ticketmaster gift card through it. They also offer smaller rewards, like $15 Fandango gift cards for seeing movies in theaters or at home, and occasionally, free tickets to concerts and sporting events. I’ve never been fast enough to claim one of those before—but when I saw Doechii tickets, I didn’t hesitate.
Her current Live From the Swamp Tour is hitting venues with capacities between 3,000 and 10,000, making for the perfect semi-intimate setting for an artist who belongs on massive stages. And honestly, after seeing her live, I’m convinced that the next time she tours, she’ll be selling out arenas.
The Venue & Opener
I caught her show at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston—a fairly new venue and one of my favorites. I’ve been to plenty of shows there, usually on the GA floor. It’s easy to move around, there’s a huge horseshoe-shaped bar, and the downstairs bathrooms are a well-kept secret (until now).
When I arrived, Kal Banx was opening. Later in the night, during Doechii’s set, she brought out a birthday cake for him, had the crowd sing, and thanked him for his production work on her music. That moment stood out—it showed how humble and genuine she is, despite her rising success.
The Performance
Doechii didn’t speak much during her set, but when she did, she explained why—she had to get through nearly 30 songs. Still, the few times she paused, she made sure to thank the crowd and express how grateful she was for her fans and the energy in the room.
Her DJ, Miss Milan, brought nonstop energy, alternating between spinning tracks from the back and joining Doechii front-and-center. Adding to the magic, Doechii’s twin sisters served as her backup dancers, turning the show into a full-on family affair. Their parents must be incredibly proud.
The Stage & Setlist
The stage setup was one of the most creative I’ve seen: two massive speakers framing a pair of doors that opened and closed to introduce new songs. Above was a platform for choreography, and to top it off, there were two slides down the sides of the stage. Doechii actually got stuck on one of them mid-set—but she laughed it off and kept performing, showing that she’s down-to-earth and just there to have fun.
The setlist included favorites like “Nissan Altima,” “Denial Is a River,” and “Anxiety,” which absolutely blew me away live. The song’s familiar Gotye sample hit even harder with the addition of heavy rock guitars—and honestly, the entire show felt like a rock concert: loud, bold, and completely in your face.
While Doechii’s previous tour had a swamp theme, this one is built around a school concept, complete with choreographed moving school desks. It was a creative and unexpected twist that perfectly matched her brand of controlled chaos.
Final Thoughts
Make it a mission to see Doechii on this tour. The whole show was incredible—entertaining, original, energetic, and overflowing with talent. She’s a true performer, and watching her live feels like witnessing the future of pop, rap, and R&B all rolled into one.
