August 12, 2025 - Minneapolis, MN

On tour for her most recent album, Evil, Hate Filled Female, Delilah Bon performed a sold-out show in Minneapolis at 7th St. Entry. When the 7th St. Entry is sold out, it means the crowd is standing shoulder to shoulder from the time the doors open until the night ends. Supported by the local Minneapolis band Surly Grrly, the night was filled with protest anthems and a high desire to dismantle the patriarchy.

Surly Grrly’s grunge and rage-filled set consisted of their songs “Surly Grrly,” “Guitar Center,” “I Had Sex With a Girl,” and “Piss Boy.” Their vocals were raw, honest, and real. Passionately screaming their protest anthems, Surly Grrly left their mark on the stage. They also covered a few songs and played a song that wasn’t even finished yet. Their vibe worked perfectly with Delilah Bon and the atmosphere that she curated for the concert.

Stepping onstage wearing merch that said “can’t talk currently screaming for my rights with Delilah Bon,” her bassist, Becky Baldwin, was preparing the fans for the night that lay ahead of them. The merch was aptly curated by Bon, who led the entire night in screaming for her rights.

Speaking of merch, the number of homemade shirts and outfits I saw was incredible. People all around me were commenting on how cool everyone looked, and I didn’t disagree. There were people with face paint that matched the aesthetic and more fishnet tights than I had seen in a very long time.

After a brief interlude of “Freak of the Weak,” Bon hopped onstage and launched into “Brat.” Any song named "Brat" already has an advantage over other songs (see "Brat" by Charli XCX for an example). The lyrics for “Brat” introduce Delilah Bon to the crowd calling herself “Delilah the savior, Delilah the queer coming in to your living room screaming I don’t think so.”

Following “Brat,” Bon pointed out a man who was in the front row and asked him to let the girls come up front because tonight was all about the girls. This set the tone for the women's empowerment that emanated through her songs. Adorning her own outfit that read, “Save a cow, kill a rapist,” the message for the night was abundantly clear: Delilah Bon has no tolerance for terrible men.

Bon further proves her allegiance to women in “Chiquitita,” dedicated to women supporting one another and reminding them of their worth beyond men. Hardly standing still, Bon confidently danced and strode around on stage, taking every opportunity to bring herself eye level with her fans and sing directly in front of their faces.

Being a woman is already hard enough, but Bon explained firsthand the number of hate comments she receives because of the music she writes. It inspired her to write “I Am the Best (Just Ask Your Momma).” Her set included other songs from her album, such as “Epstein,” “The Internet,” and the title track, “Evil, Hate Filled Female.”

Minneapolis brought the rage for Bon. Headbanging, screaming, and giving their full attention, there couldn’t have been a better crowd. Closing the night with “Maverick,” Delilah Bon reminded herself and the audience why she’s the best. Bon’s songs consist of lyrically packed verses that Bon delivers with immense vocal strength and professionalism live. Female empowerment oozes out of her. Her shows inspire the women in the crowd to remember that they’re the baddest girls out there.

Delilah Bon continues her tour until the end of August. If you’re in need of a confidence booster or just want to jam out, this is a can’t miss show.
