Cat Burns Performs Full Set of New Album at Rescheduled Glasgow Concert

Cat Burns, a 25-year-old singer from south London and former pupil at the Brit School, held a rescheduled concert at the 02 Academy in Glasgow on April 12, 2026. The event, originally planned five months earlier, coincided with the release of her second album, How to Be Human, which reached the top five on charts.

The venue, with a capacity of 2,500, was sold out, drawing an audience that included groups of young women, gay couples, and families with children.

Burns gained initial recognition during lockdown by posting song covers online. Her career advanced in 2022 with the release of the single Go, which became a hit on TikTok and led to three Brit Award nominations.

The setlist focused on performing How to Be Human from start to finish, a decision Burns explained near the end of the show. She stated that she loved the album and wanted to present it fully to do it justice. The concert lasted just over an hour, followed by an encore featuring older songs including Go and a new track titled It’s Not That Deep.

Stage Setup and Musical Styles The stage featured a minimal setup resembling a front room, with floor lamps, a side table, and an armchair.

Burns opened the set from the armchair with the song Come Home. A three-piece band accompanied her throughout, supporting shifts from low-key folk-pop to more upbeat indie-rock. Songs such as Sad Forever and All This Love prompted audience dancing during the indie-rock segments.

Burns wore a black leather jacket, a knee-length grey skirt, and mid-shin socks. Her delivery of lyrics was conversational and direct, similar in style to those of singer Lily Allen.

Audience and Performance Details The audience consisted primarily of long-term fans who had followed Burns since her early online covers.

Some attendees may have learned of her through her appearance on the television show Celebrity Traitors, where she collaborated with comedian Alan Carr. The show proceeded without additional chat from Burns beyond her explanation for the full-album format.
