British-Cypriot singer, songwriter, and producer Artemas Diamandis

Artemas brought the LOVERCORE Tour to The Ritz in Raleigh on 3/18/26 with the kind of confidence that comes from knowing the room is already half-surrendered before the first full chorus lands. The British-Cypriot singer, songwriter, and producer has moved quickly from internet heat to full-room devotion, with a catalog that runs through I’m Sorry I’m Like This, Pretty, Yustyna, LOVERCORE, and the newer getting up to no good. The rise of “i like the way you kiss me” put him in front of a global audience, but the Raleigh performance showed that Artemas is not just a single-song phenomenon; he has built a very specific world around tension, desire, detached cool, and sharp pop instincts. The crowd at The Ritz knew the words, knew the mood, and gave the set the charged feeling of a young artist arriving at exactly the right moment. The staging stayed focused on Artemas himself, with the visual presentation serving the songs rather than overwhelming them, and the merchandise fit the audience: direct, artist-branded, and built for fans who wanted to carry the LOVERCORE identity out of the room. His official website is Artemas and his latest release is getting up to no good

Henry Morris gave the night its rougher, sweatier support-set pulse, stepping into the middle slot with the attitude of an artist who understands that opening for a fast-rising headliner means winning people over quickly. His music sits in the same modern alt-pop orbit as Artemas but comes across with its own scrappy character, leaning into personality, hooks, and a live presence that felt less polished in the best possible way. Morris has been building his audience through songs and a strong online following, and by the time he reached Raleigh on this run, he sounded comfortable turning a support slot into a proper introduction. The crowd responded with curiosity first, then with real attention, especially as his set settled into the darker, looser edges of his sound. His current release cycle includes LA at Night, which fits the after-hours tone he brought to the room. His official website is Henry Morris and his latest release is LA at Night

Ella Boh opened the show with the kind of presence an opener needs in a general-admission room: focused, bright, and unafraid to make the early crowd come closer. She is still in the rising-artist stage, but that worked in her favor at The Ritz, where the first set felt like a discovery rather than a formality. Her songs carried a contemporary pop sensibility with enough edge to belong on this bill, and she gave the night a clean starting point before Henry Morris and Artemas pulled the room deeper into the darker LOVERCORE atmosphere. The audience gave her the warm attention that matters for a young artist: not just polite applause, but the gradual shift from waiting around to actually watching.
