Today Mimi Webb is in Plymouth, tomorrow she’ll be in Bournemouth, and on Monday she’s set to headline London’s Eventim Apollo. It’s no surprise then that our phone call is kept brief, as she hops from one city to the next. Monday’s gig will mark the last leg of her sold-out European tour, which began in Spain last month, before festival season gets underway.
“I’m most excited for the festivals. There’s some really cool festivals coming up and I’m main-staging so many of them. I’m so excited to be able to experience that energy” says the 22-year-old, BRIT Award nominee. Originally from Canterbury and born Amelia Webb, the singer rose to fame mid-pandemic when TikToker Charli D’Amelio filmed a video using Webb’s debut single Before I Go. As most things do under the influence of D’Amelio, the track quickly went viral.
