Pop Star Skye Newman Makes History With Five-Gig Brixton Academy Run
Skye Newman has set a record for a British female solo artist by beginning a five-night run at Brixton Academy. The 23-year-old singer expressed her excitement ahead of the milestone performances.
Skye Newman kicked off her five-gig residency at Brixton Academy on Thursday, surpassing the previous record of three nights set by rapper Little Simz in 2021. The singer, who won the BBC Sound of 2026 and was nominated for a Brit Award, described the achievement as giving her goosebumps and making her feel honoured. The milestone marks another major step in Newman's rapid rise since her debut single Hairdresser entered the top 20 last year. Alongside her record-breaking venue run, she also performs exclusively with an all-female band and has upcoming support slots lined up in Australia with Harry Styles.
