Summary
- Ashnikko's L.A. show featured a vibrant fan display of her 'trinket girl' aesthetic.

Ashnikko launched into her performance at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall on Friday, March 20, marking the second stop on her Smoochies world tour. This concert was Ashnikko's first full headlining performance in Los Angeles since opening for Billie Eilish in 2024.
The audience demonstrated immense enthusiasm for Ashnikko's return, with many fans adopting her signature "trinket girl" style. The venue buzzed with attendees dressed in "itty bitty" skirts, thigh-high boots, and blue wigs, many adorned with trinkets. One fan, drag queen Kacey Starz, was honored by Ashnikko as L.A.'s "Smoochie Girl."
Ashnikko performed a 23-song setlist that featured half of the tracks from her latest album, 'Smoochies,' released in 2025. The other half of the performance included songs from her 2021 EP 'Demidevil,' her album 'Weedkiller,' and other singles. Fan favorites like "Trinkets" and "Itty Bitty" from 'Smoochies' got the crowd jumping, while older songs like "Manners" and "You Make Me Sick" also ignited passionate singalongs.
Special moments included the deep cut "It Girl," which offered a heartfelt connection, and a surprise appearance by Princess Nokia, who joined Ashnikko on stage to perform their collaboration "Slumber Party." The successful mix of new material and older hits affirmed Ashnikko's enduring connection with her fanbase.
