Six Degrees of Olivia O’Brien: Discovering Maya Donovan on the PIXIE Tour
A few weeks ago on October 6, 2026, I had the opportunity to cover Olivia O’Brien’s PIXIE Tour at Irving Plaza in New York City, with Maya Donovan opening the show. I’ve spent the past few weeks trying to gather my thoughts on the night because Olivia, as you might remember from my review of Benson Boone this summer, is one of my all-time favorite artists. When an artist has been part of your life for over a decade, seeing them live is one thing.

Fans wait with high anticipation wearing wigs and sunglasses just like his but some stand out with color and funk. Feather boas and fan made signs were seen on the floor as well. I’d hear different parts of the audience talk amongst themselves “Is Mr. Fantasy just KJ Apa with a wig and fake teeth?” as I walked through the crowd to find the perfect spot to wa

Review: Benson Boone Proves He's More Than Just the Guy Who Does Flips at Barclays Center
