Sam, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, said: “Seeing all of you to look at is a joy. Welcome to the Gloria tour. It has been so, so long since I have been on a stage like this. It’s been five years and a lot has happened. “

“Thank you for being here. Tonight is my chance to give as much energy to you to give you a good time. This show is about love and a show about freedom. It is so important to me that you all look to your left and right and say hello to everyone near you.

Sam’s costumes wowed the audience. From an extravagant green dress with a ‘queer’ headpiece, to stripping down to black underwear and fishnet tights for their cover of Madonna’s hit ‘Human Nature’.
They also sported elbow-length gloves and draped a long sheer veil over their shoulders, which was fixed in place on their head with a gold wire-style headpiece.
Known for referencing religious imagery in their performances, Sam also ported a black bustier, fishnet tights and over-the-knee boots with red laces for their final song of the night – Unholy, which definitely left a lasting impression.
