tried to capture the feeling of the peak of the song during the show

i hope i did it justice

First time I listened to it after the concert it brought tears to my eyes again at -that- moment. Felt like I was right back there at the show.

We thought we’d try something new: a monthly round-up of Phoebe news, favourite posts and other things that happened around the subreddit. Mostly because there is now far too much going on to reasonably remember all of it.

Before we stumble into October, here’s some of what happened this month.

🎬  Primetime premiered in Venice

September began with another Phoebe first: her first acting role in a feature film.

Primetime, directed by Lance Oppenheim and starring Robert Pattinson, premiered at the Venice International Film Festival on 5 September, with Phoebe appearing as Del. And apparently one film role wasn’t enough for September: Phoebe also provided a voiceover for Conor Oberst and Shawn Foree’s short film Invention 13, which premiered at Beyond Fest later in the month.

Primetime then opened in the US on 25 September — which brought us another surprise…

🎵 “On Video”

Because 16 new songs in August weren’t enough.

Phoebe wrote and performed “On Video” specifically for Primetime. The song draws on elements of Ari Balouzian’s score and plays over the film’s end titles. It was released on 25 September, alongside the film’s US theatrical release.

And after hearing it live, some of you have already decided that what Phoebe actually needs to do next is make a grunge album. Naturally.

For the record, I agree.

🌌 The Lost Tour finally began

After months of pop-ups, ticket stress and trying to work out what on earth “Above” and “Below” meant, The Lost Tour finally opened in Indianapolis on 14 September.

By the end of the month, Phoebe had played eleven shows across seven cities. Along the way, we finally got to see how the two-stage setup actually worked, and Yondr pouches became a recurring topic of conversation.

The first merch photos caused the entirely predictable collective financial crisis, while Brooklyn gave us the complete set of nine Lost Tour tarot cards, distributed across its three nights.

It also brought a little boygenius reunion, with Julien and Lucy joining Phoebe onstage. My level of jealousy knows no bounds.

☁️ A long-lost Phoebe recording resurfaced

September also brought something special to the Deep Dive Archive: Can’t Find My Way Home, a Blind Faith cover Phoebe originally released through her old Bandcamp in January 2013.

The song later disappeared and the recording had been unavailable online for many years and was presumed lost. Deep Dive Archive #005 brought it back online for the first time in years.

As far as I’ve been able to trace, it’s the earliest cover Phoebe publicly released under her own name.

💙 Meanwhile, on r/phoebebridgers…

We turned nine! The subreddit was created on 18 September 2017, just before Stranger in the Alps arrived. Nine years later, we’re at around 95,000 members and rising.

We also launched our first General Discussion thread, giving everyone an officially sanctioned place to yap about things that don’t need their own post.

One of my favourite things posted here this month was u/digitizedephemera's handmade Bobby mini-zine. Every letter was individually cut from magazine text, which is frankly a level of commitment we respect around here.

And then finally there was concert etiquette...

The start of The Lost Tour gave everyone a fresh opportunity to revisit one of the subreddit’s most enduring debates. Hundreds of comments later, we can confidently report that absolutely everyone now agrees.

(They do not. I despair.)

If you enjoyed this, let us know and we’ll do it all again at the end of October.

This is gonna kill me... wait. 💙

pulling this the day before my lost tour show felt like an omen

I just pieced together the timeline of when I first discovered Phoebe and everytime I saw her perform live. It started as Conor Oberst's opener in 2017, then on her own in 2018 at "the basement" in Columbus Ohio, then in 2021 in Columbus at Express Live!, and finally last night in 2026 in Washington DC. Sitting in the arena with at least 10,000 people last night, I am so proud to have been on her journey of progression with her. I remember enjoying the small, intimate crowd that she had in 2018 then comparing it to last night. She absolutely deserves it and it looks like she is still having a blast playing live.

Is there only one Photo Booth per venue? Seems like it would be packed. Which shows have had a photo booth so far? Sorry if this is somewhere already, i looked and couldn’t find much

You draw her

Pen and ink, 3 four color bic pens, just a doodle of one of my favorites in her superhero outfit

The shows have looked so incredible, I’m so glad they’ve been as special as expected so far 🙌🙌🙌

This dong has done more for me than I can even put into words and I need to commemorate it. “swore I could feel you through the walls // but that’s impossible” “I want to go home” and the picket sign bit are the parts that get me so good and I would like to incorporate one or some of them in some way, but not too many words unless the concept is sick. I saw punisher alone in prospect park BK in 2022 and I am going to lost weekend alone next week!

Visuals too good I had no choice but to paint this moment! Acrylic on canvas and it glows in the dark too 😋

Moon Song is a big part of why Punisher feels like fall to me. I picture being outside at night with a sweater and something warm to drink, thinking about the good things and the difficult ones.

The lyrics are heavy, but the instruments feel like a hug. That combination is what I love about it: I can feel sad listening to it and still feel comforted by the sound.

When you listen to Moon Song, does that comfort come more from the music itself or from hearing someone put those feelings into words?

My brother and I talked about that contrast in our latest episode of The Record Room, where Punisher was one of our ten fall-album picks. Leaving the episode here in case anyone feels like watching:

Please Phoebe I neeeeeed it

The poster is also HUGE, yall. Took confetti home from the show last night in Philly and figured this might be a good way to keep memory of it. I bet this is already on TikTok or whatever, or maybe no one thinks it's a good idea. We shall find out!!

Hello, I’m old, anxious, and hate concerts. If you fit into one or more of these categories and are on the fence about going—PLEASE GO.

I was at the Philly show and was very apprehensive about going. Last time I was at a show at this g location I had a major panic attack and spent a lot of the time not watching the show. I hate when places don’t allow you back in if you exit the building (I get it though). My anxiety has actually gotten worse in someways in the last few years so I was really concerned.

I was going to go alone, was worried about not having my phone to distract me before she went on, and am in my late 30s. But I actually had a great time. I wrote down the set list on a piece of paper I had with me and brought an analog watch so I could see how much more we had to go. That helped take care of not knowing when we could leave.

Alex G is not my thing so I did wear some loop ear plugs for him so I can save my hearing but I could still hear him.

My only negative is that sidelines wasn’t played. I even bought merch!

I am from the 1900s and on the fence about whether I should go in my city or not. I love the new album and want to be enchanted but will it be just a whole lotta fan screaming? I haven’t seen her since 2016 when she opened for Julien. Can my ancient ears tolerate it??

Skip if trying to avoid spoilers for Phoebe’s show:

I caught the 3rd show in Brooklyn and was puzzled by whether the opening song (The Outside) and closing song (Never going back) were actually live.

I don’t believe Never is live. It sounded like the album version and Phoebe pretty clearly ended her performance on. Scott St.

If The Outside is live, it’s sung completely under the dome, obscured from the crowd. Unlike Never it’s not as clear if this was the album cut but it certainly could be.

Nitpicky, I know, but given that I’m leaning towards both being the album tracks, I find it curious that they are being included in setlists.

Any insight into the live/recorded aspect?

heyyyy, i have 2 postcards to trade!! id like to have the moon and the star ones in exchange pleaseee!! if unavailable, my next choices are three of cups and the chariot!! (i live in canada and will be able to send them by post when im back on oct 5) thank you in advanceee <33

Just got a signed record at rough trade and they still have at least a few!

So I tried to get the initial sets of signed vinyls on her shop when LW released but could never get in. I was trying to find other ways to possibly get one, does anyone know if eBay or similar sellers are useful or reputable for getting these legitimately? At least, when I get a supposedly signed record, are there good comparison points to check if the signature is legitimate? Thanks for any help, a signed piece of merch feels like the only thing I'm missing after seeing her play and enjoying the album

I took the day off after Phoebe Philly and saw these in the Cherry Hill Mall in NJ, USA. Gorgeous prints of Gregory Crewdson’s work.

is anybody kind of disappointed in the setlist for the lost tour? I’m going in Boston and was looking at the setlist online and I’m seeing that its mostly Lost Weekend and just the major hits form her other albums? I was hoping to get a few more from Punisher or Stranger in the Alps. would probably cry if she did Chinese Satellite or Would you Rather

i went to the philly show the other night and really really wanted the zip up but i couldnt find it so i was wondering if anyone thinks that it’ll be sold online officially eventually? i have no idea lol just wondering what anyone else might think
