Phoebe Bridgers Skates with Fans at Glendale Roller Rink for ‘Lost Weekend’ Preview

Singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers hosted a rollerskating listening party at Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale, California, where about 200 fans heard her new album “Lost Weekend.”

Phoebe Bridgers led a group of roughly two hundred fans on the floor of Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale, California, skating in illuminated shoes while the new “Lost Weekend” album played. She was the only participant with light-up skates, a perk she said she earned for the occasion. Following the music-driven laps, Bridgers answered fan questions, explaining that she wanted the album’s release to feel “real” and describing the concept of listening to slow songs while moving quickly.

The gathering enforced a no-phone rule, featured a brief autograph signing, and premiered an early version of the “I Can’t Wait” video that will incorporate footage from the night. The promotion for “Lost Weekend” has been unconventional, ranging from small-town pop-up gigs to Spotify-sponsored planetarium sessions with visual effects. Bridgers has avoided traditional media interviews, making the short Q&A at the roller rink one of the few public commentaries on the record so far.

Why it matters

The event shows how artists are using immersive, unconventional experiences to launch new music.
