Bishop Briggs Closes “Tell My Therapist I’m Fine” Tour with Thunderous Intimacy in Boston

Bishop Briggs brought her Tell My Therapist I’m Fine tour to a roaring close at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club, wrapping things up at the iconic venue in a triumphant way. The choice of venue both intimate and legendary was a statement in itself. Rather than a sprawling arena, Briggs opted for one of Boston’s smaller but more iconic rooms, giving the finale a personal, full-circle feel.

Opening the night was Ellise, riding the high of her freshly released album PRETTY EVIL (out just a day prior). Her set leaned heavily into the new material, delivering it with goth-pop precision, a dash of Paramore nostalgia (with a cover of “Decode”), and a cathartic singalong to her breakout hit “911” to seal the deal.

Then came Briggs, a storm in combat boots. Her set leaned into the emotional weight and rallying cries of Tell My Therapist I’m Fine, blending newer tracks with fan favorites like “White Flag” and the gut-punching “Woman Is King”, a power anthem that somehow felt even heavier live. Her mega-hit “River” finished off both the night and the tour in what felt like a collective exhale for everyone who put on the production.
