The Red Bottom Tour hits Emo’s!
There was a lot of pink outside Emo’s Austin last night. Fans had been lining up early, hoping to get as close to the barricade as possible, and by the time the doors opened, the color had taken over the crowd. Pink shirts, shorts, bandanas, shoes and plenty of wigs made it pretty obvious who everyone was there to see.
Inside, the mood was playful and restless. People were dancing before the headliner even came out, and the anticipation kept building as the venue filled up.
The night was part of Adéla’s Red Bottom Tour, marking her first solo show in Austin. Opening the night was DJ and producer Zoe Gitter, who got the room moving before handing things over to Adéla.
Then Adéla stepped onstage, and the whole room shifted.
There was a confidence to her entrance that immediately made sense for the kind of show she had planned. With four dancers joining her, the night became as much about movement and visual performance as it was about the songs.
ZOE GITTER
Before Adéla took the stage, Zoe Gitter had the job of getting a room full of excited fans moving, and she didn’t waste much time doing it.
The DJ and producer mixed a fun selection of pop and dance tracks, keeping things loose and interactive. She smiled throughout the set, danced behind the decks and regularly looked out toward the crowd instead of treating the opening slot like background music.
Her set included “The Rhythm of the Night,” “SexOnTheBeat” by Adéla, “CRANK” by Slayyyter, Rihanna’s “Only Girl (In The World),” and “Midnight Sun” by Zara Larsson. The song choices fit the room perfectly. There was a lot of movement from the crowd, with fans already singing along and dancing before the main show had even started.
What worked best was how naturally Zoe connected with the audience. She wasn’t trying to turn the opening set into something bigger than it needed to be. She simply kept the music moving and made sure the room was ready.
By the time her set wrapped up, Emo’s was packed and the crowd was clearly ready for Adéla.
ADÉLA
THE RED BOTTOM TOUR
When Adéla finally came out, the difference was immediate.
The Slovak singer, songwriter and dancer brought a much bigger physical presence to the stage, and it didn’t take long to understand why dance is such an important part of her performance. Adéla spent her teenage years training in ballet, and that background was all over the way she moved.
Her choreography was sharp and precise without making the show feel overly rehearsed. She could hit a move, hold a pose, and then jump right back into the song without losing the connection with the audience. Four dancers joined her throughout the performance, giving the stage more movement and helping build some of the show’s biggest visual moments.
The set moved through “KGB,” “FinnalyApologizing,” “Boys,” “Go,” “DeathByDevotion,” “Ain’t In LA,” “Red Bottoms,” “SexOnTheBeat,” “SUPERSCAR,” and more. Rather than feeling like a simple collection of songs, the performance kept shifting between choreography, vocals and crowd interaction.
One of the biggest moments came with “Nicole Kidman,” which had reached No. 1 on the U.S. Spotify chart the day before the Austin show. The timing couldn’t have been better. The crowd already knew the song, and hearing it live in Austin, just as it was hitting that milestone, gave the moment some extra weight.
This was also Adéla’s first solo show in Austin, something she seemed genuinely excited about. You could see it in the way she interacted with the crowd between songs and reacted to the fans singing back to her.
The Pink Wave
The audience deserved its own spotlight!
Fans had clearly planned their outfits around Adéla’s world, and pink was everywhere. Some wore bright pink shirts or shorts, others showed up with pink accessories, shoes and bandanas, while plenty of fans went all the way with pink wigs.
It wasn’t just a few people here and there. The entire room looked connected by the same color.
Many fans had arrived early in the morning to secure a spot near the barricade, and that dedication showed once the music started. They knew the songs, danced through the set and sang along to practically everything.
There was also something fun about watching the crowd react to Adéla’s choreography. Every big move got a response, especially from the fans closest to the stage.
For a first solo Austin show, the connection between artist and audience felt pretty natural. Adéla had her four dancers, the choreography, and the songs, but the crowd was an important part of the visual experience too.

FROM BALLET TO POP
Adéla Jergová is a Slovak singer, songwriter and dancer who has built her artistic identity around pop music, performance and movement. Her background in ballet became an important part of that identity. She trained in ballet during her teenage years before expanding further into music.
That training is easy to recognize when she performs. Her choreography isn’t simply something happening alongside the songs. It is part of how she communicates them.
That combination of pop music and dance has helped Adéla create a performance style that feels very visual. Her shows give her room to move, interact with dancers and build moments around choreography rather than relying only on the vocals.
For fans, that seems to be a big part of the appeal. At Emo’s, people weren’t just standing and watching. They were singing, dancing and reacting to every move.
Her Austin debut arrived at an interesting moment in her career, especially with “Nicole Kidman” reaching No. 1 on the U.S. Spotify chart just one day before the show.
