Fresh off her first-ever UK tour with Rebecca Ferguson, Polly Havelock catches up with London\u2019s most exciting new soul-pop singer Reigns – and talks tour life highs and whiplash moments, the inspiration behind her most infectious new track to date, and why her upcoming music video is all about pride and unapologetic self-love – with a healthy dose of \u201cboy bye\u201d energy.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hey Reigns, how are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m great! It\u2019s been a busy 2026 so far, and I\u2019m loving every second of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve just been on tour with Rebecca Ferguson – could you tell us how it went and what you learned from the experience?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do I start?! It was such an amazing experience. Rebecca is an incredible vocalist, so getting the chance to share a stage with her was a real honour. As an independent artist, being able to perform my own songs acoustically in some amazing venues and travel doing what I love was pretty surreal!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was my first time touring, so I learned loads. Every audience brought a different energy, and it taught me how to really live in the moment and enjoy each show for what it was. It\u2019s definitely made me even more excited for the next chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you have a favourite show, venue, or city to perform in, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I\u2019m honest, every venue had its own magic. The first show in Lytham St Annes was all adrenaline and excitement, and then the next day in Leeds I actually shot two music videos and then straight to the most WOW venue, which just made it all seem so surreal and then to finish in Newcastle knowing how amazing the shows were and grateful I was – the perfect finishing night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your tour survival guide, Reigns style?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good playlist or podcast is essential! After that, it\u2019s coffee, snacks, and embracing the fact that your life can go from a glamorous theatre stage to eating a sandwich in a carpark in your fav trackie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does a Reigns live show look like? We\u2019re sure there\u2019s plenty of powerhouse, soulful vocals involved\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My headline shows with my incredible band are all about the energy and story. I wanna take my fans on a journey. We dance, feel empowered, cry and everything in between. Big tunes with big feelings, and all I aim for is to perform my songs and hopefully connect with every rebel in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
