Allie X
Variety Playhouse — Atlanta, GA

Allie X is a Canadian singer-songwriter who emerged from the synth-pop underground with a meticulous, layered approach to pop music. She's known for architectural production choices and lyrics that veer between wry observations and genuine vulnerability. Her early work, including the cult-classic mixtapes that built her fanbase, established her as someone genuinely interested in pop mechanics—she'll deconstruct a hook or flip a melody in ways that feel accidental but totally deliberate. Tracks like 'Beg for You' showcase her knack for hooks that burrow into your head, while deeper cuts reveal someone comfortable sitting in discomfort. She's collaborated with producers like PC Music's SOPHIE and Chloe Moriondo, and her albums move through different emotional and sonic territories without sounding scattered. Her fanbase is devoted partly because she doesn't chase trends—she's too busy making something that sounds like only her.

Allie X's shows are attentive and controlled. Crowds tend to be engaged and quiet between songs, hanging on details. She's precise with arrangements and clearly cares about the production values. Not a high-energy spectacle, but intimate in a way that demands focus.

Known for Beg for You, Catch Me When You Can, Science, Downtown, Unseen

Allie X brought her particular brand of glitchy pop to Variety Playhouse in November, working through material that spans her entire catalog. She hit the obvious marks—"Bitch" to open, "Science" in the middle—but the real moment came when she pulled out "Galina," that disorienting deep cut that shouldn't work but does. "Old Habits Die Hard" landed near the end, a song that feels more honest than catchy, which is maybe the whole point with her. The setlist was lean and focused, 15 songs that felt intentional rather than obligatory.

Atlanta's music ecosystem has always been generous to artists who operate outside mainstream pop formulas. The city's underground venues and college radio stations have historically championed experimental electronic pop and alternative acts, creating space for artists like Allie X who build their fanbases through specificity rather than radio saturation. Variety Playhouse itself sits at the intersection of this sensibility—intimate enough for the devoted, professional enough for artists who take their craft seriously.

Stay in Buckhead or Virginia Highland for the neighborhood feel — tree-lined streets, good restaurants, walkable enough to actually enjoy yourself. For dinner, Sotto Sotto does excellent Italian in a no-fuss basement setting, or Rathbun's for steak if you want something more formal. Spend an afternoon at the High Museum of Art, then grab drinks at The Eagle, which has the kind of dark-wood-and-whiskey vibe that actually works. Catch a Braves game at Truist Park if timing lines up. The food scene here is legitimately good without being try-hard about it.
