The Girl On A Boat Release Concert

A release concert for Yara Liz's album The Girl On A Boat, held on a boat in London and preceded by a phone-guided walk along the Thames. The evening centres on the record's fantasy story.

Yara Liz is the artist behind The Girl On A Boat, a concept album presented as a debut in the cinematic style, and this evening marks its release. Its lyrics and stories follow a voyage towards a fantasy world and explore belonging and the pursuit of dreams. The music is pop, rock and indie, and the evening is aimed at fans of fantasy films and their soundtracks, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Moana and Avatar, as well as admirers of AURORA, Yaelokre and Florence + the Machine.

The concert takes place at The Battersea Barge, a boat-based venue in London that hosts concerts and shows. Before the performance, visitors can follow a walk of roughly one to one and a half hours beside the River Thames. It works like a treasure hunt on a phone, unlocking quests and stories at different points on the way to the venue. A phone, mobile data and a navigation app are needed. The route stays level beside the river, with occasional flights of stairs around the bridges, and comfortable shoes are recommended.

The organisers suggest a dress code of fantasy or ocean-themed clothing, such as pirate, sailor or adventurer costume, or whatever is comfortable.
