PHOTOS: Kim Petras – Austin, TX 9/27/23

Opening night of Kim Petras’ Feed the Beast world tour hit the stage at Moody Amphitheater in Austin, TX September 27th, 2023. Beginning in Texas and spanning across America from New York to Oregon, then landing in the UK, Germany, and Italy, you have seven months to make sure you see her in at least one city. 

Grammy-winning international pop sensation Kim Petras finally released her highly anticipated album Problematique as a pleasant surprise for her fans before going on tour. The tour, named after her debut album Feed the Beast, features a plethora of songs with two albums now on the scene, plus ultra-popular “Unholy” by Sam Smith, in which Petras is featured. With over a billion streams, you live under a rock if you haven’t heard of Petras by now.

If you’re in the mood for something to dance to, strut your stuff, or inspire a ho-phase, turn up the volume to tracks like “Deeper”, “Born Again”, or “Treat Me Like a Ho”. 

The theatrics of the Feed the Beast show are on another level. This performance had it all. Smoke machines. Choreography taken to new heights.

When speaking with an audience member excitedly pressed up against the barricade, they said, “Slut Pop changed my life and inspired a new kind of confidence in me.” I know I certainly felt like I could take on the world leaving the Moody Amphitheater that night.

Whether you only know Kim Petras from her feature on “Unholy” or you’ve heard her mega-hit “Alone” with Nicki Minaj, or you’ve been following her from her humble beginnings, it’s time to see her live for an experience like no other.
