Luvcat has announced a full live concert film from her show at The Box Soho. It premieres on YouTube at 6pm GMT this Halloween, Saturday 31 October, for 48 hours only, exactly one year after her debut album, Vicious Delicious.
The film was shot at a surprise London underplay that sold out in under five minutes. Playing to a packed room, she runs through album tracks, the murder ballad EP Lovebites, and an unreleased preview of new material. Rapid costume changes and Lynchian red lighting keep the DIY night in its theatrical shape.
Fans can watch the premiere here. A limited, signed 1st Anniversary Edition of the Vicious Delicious vinyl is available to order now, with a tartan obi strip and a 16 page booklet of never before seen photos from the making of the album. The record came out on Halloween 2025 via AWAL and has now passed 220 million streams.
The film opens with Luvcat walking through Soho before she enters the venue. It catches a chilling take on the Twin Peaks theme, a fall of red rose petals during He’s My Man (now past 160 million streams), and the live debut of Mademoiselle, written weeks earlier in Hollywood. Can-can and cabaret dancers join for the encores of Bad Books and Dinner @ Brasserie Zédel.
From the stage, glass of red wine in hand, she told the crowd: “The last time I was in The Box, it was a fever dream. Delightful and disturbing. I came to as the bright lights were turned on at 6am dancing on a tabletop with the prince of Spain. Or France. It’s all a little blurry…”
Introducing the unreleased fan favourite Alchemy, she said: “This is a song about when a handsome French sailor whisked me off to Paris for the week. The love story ended in the back of a police car, as all the best love stories do.”
The Box Soho setlist, as featured in the film:

Earlier this year she widened the debut’s world with Lovebites, a five track EP. It includes an anniversary reimagining of He’s My Man with punk poet Dr John Cooper Clarke, and the dark duet Electric Chair with Pete Doherty. Far Out Magazine called the EP a “grand portrayal of modern romance”, while CLASH described lead single Vampire At The Beach as “a blood-soaked act of alt-pop seduction whose alluring images are contrasted with a lingering sense of darkness.”
Born in Liverpool, she broke through with Matador and built a following on noir glamour, tragic romance and sharp wit. Vicious Delicious reached number 4 on the Official Independent Albums Chart, taking in a circus ringleader, nights along the Seine, and underground sets at Brixton Windmill. Early bills included a BBC Introducing night at The Lower Third, then the Great Escape first fifty and the Truck Festival 2025 line-up.
This year she has played more than 100 shows across 25 countries, including Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, and Rock en Seine, where she opened the main stage for Chappell Roan. She also picked up Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the Northern Music Awards.
The anniversary vinyl is on sale now via her official store. The concert film goes live on YouTube at 6pm GMT on Saturday 31 October, and stays up for 48 hours.
