If you happened to be passing Tramshed in Cardiff on Thursday, you would have been greeted by a long line of bows, rainbows, glitter and more rhinestones than you could ever dream of. A much awaited show for many, JoJo Siwa wrapping up her UK leg of the Infinity Heart tour in Wales.
Stepping into Tramshed to a crowd packed with energy really set the vibe for the night. A pre show playlist packed with pop anthems and the crowd all singing along together, warming up their voices for what was to come.
The crowd falls silent with anticipation suddenly as JoJo’s backing dancers take to the stage already dancing as the crowd cheer. Moments later the crowd scream as JoJo herself appeared and took to the stage with many audience members shouting ”we love you JoJo!” opening with Infinity Heart, a fitting opener for her Infinity Heart tour.
One thing the show was miles from lacking was energy. There was constantly something happening on stage looking away would have been impossible. JoJo as a fantastic entertainer had the audience captivated throughout with her singing, ambitious dance moves and even drum playing. Multiple times during the show, JoJo took to the drum kit to play exciting drum solos during her songs, possibly even inspiring the next generation of young drummers and musicians.

JoJo had multiple glamorous outfit changes during the show, all bedazzled with rhinestones of course. All the fan favourites were played from Karma to Boomerang. JoJo also announced and played new song, ‘I’m Still Dancing’ sampled from and inspired by Elton John’s ‘I’m Still Standing’.
Mid way though the show, one of JoJo’s backing dancers had left the stage and returned with a sparkling box and opened it on stage to JoJo who with a face of surprise, took out a bright pink bow, a nod to the beginning of her career where she became known for her colourful bows and gave this bow to a very happy fan at the front.

JoJo Siwa was excellent at engaging with the crowd; talking to fans at the front, making sure everyone was okay and ensuring no-one felt left out. Nearing the end of the set she took a welsh flag from fans and began waving it around and dancing with it before tying it around herself to resemble a cape.
The show was overall a night of non-stop entertainment and enjoyment with a joyful crowd dancing along throughout.
