About Poppy

Poppy started as a YouTube oddity in 2014, posting weird thirty-second clips that somehow felt creepy and hypnotic. Her early music mixed bubblegum pop with unsettling production and imagery that made people uncomfortable on purpose. She's collaborated with producers like Grimes and Morgan Simpson, shifting between glossy pop-punk on records like Flux and heavier, more experimental sounds on Desire: I Want to Turn Into You. Her thing is refusing to stay in one lane. One moment she's doing infectious pop hooks, the next she's in a rabbit hole of industrial noise and conceptual weirdness. Live, she commands a room with an almost cult-like intensity, and her fanbase treats her output like a puzzle to decode. She's essentially proof that you don't need a clear genre to build something genuinely weird and genuinely hers.

Poppy's shows are tight and deliberately eerie. She moves with mechanical precision, the crowd hangs on every moment, and there's an unsettling focus to the whole thing that makes it feel less like entertainment and more like witnessing something you shouldn't.

Known for Lowlife, Scary Mask, Lil Hellraiser, Bloodmoney, Choke

Poppy + Denver

Poppy touched down at Summit Music Hall in March 2025 for a set that felt like watching someone flip through different versions of themselves. She opened with the sharp, confrontational punch of "have you had enough?" and spent the next hour moving between the industrial clatter of "BLOODMONEY" and the hypnotic crawl of "crystallized." There's a particular kind of intensity to watching her navigate the heavier material—"I Disagree" hit different in a packed room, all defiance and rhythm. She closed with "new way out," which felt less like an exit and more like a statement. Denver's been a reliable stop on her circuit, and this March show proved why: the city gets what she's doing.

Live Music in Denver

Denver's electronic and alternative underground has always had room for artists pushing into darker, more experimental territory. The city's venue landscape—places like Summit—has cultivated an audience that actually listens to the weird stuff, the industrial edges, the things that don't fit neatly into a single genre. Poppy's blend of pop architecture with industrial DNA and confrontational lyrics finds natural purchase here, where people come for the sonic risk-taking as much as the hooks.

Denver road trip to see Poppy?

Stay in Highland, where tree-lined streets and independent bookstores make it feel like you're actually in Denver rather than passing through. Eat at Frasca Food and Wine if you want to understand why Colorado takes its ingredients seriously—it's fine dining without pretense. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the Denver Art Museum's contemporary wing, which often has installations that match the visual language of experimental music. Walk around Santa Fe Drive's gallery district. It's the kind of neighborhood where the art and music scenes actually talk to each other.
