Listening to Haim’s mild-mannered, pastel-shaded albums does not prepare you for quite how rude, noisy and hilarious this Los Angeles trio are live. Playing their biggest ever indoor show at the O2, the three Haim sisters were on boisterous form, all dressed in matching leather trousers and throwing semi-ironic bad-ass rock-star poses.
Balancing high-decibel showmanship with agreeably nerdy charm, the siblings claimed selling out this iconic London venue was a dream come true. Their parents had even flown in to witness it. “This is literally sacred ground for us,” declared guitarist, drummer and singer Danielle Haim. “This is by far the best night of my life.” A show-stopping guest appearance by their friend and sometime collaborator Taylor Swift elevated an already excellent concert into a major pop-diva event.
