It was only six months ago that Dora Jar played her first ever live show, at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington. The hype around the 24-year-old Californian was so strong that even Billie Eilish donned a disguise to be one of 150 people in attendance that night.
Blown away by her performance, Eilish then asked the singer to open for her on a string of Happier Than Ever arena dates in the US. After taking her up on the offer, just weeks before Thursday’s gig in King’s Cross she was playing to thousands at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
