If you’re going to do a launch party, you’ve got to do it with style. For the release of With the Girls, though, xyzelle not only did that, but took things to a whole new level at Vista River Gardens in Manchester – bringing extra class, good vibes, and an evening packed with entertainment.
Immersive Details and Interactive Stations
Every single detail felt intentionally crafted to fit the track’s aesthetic. Guests were greeted with tailored touches right from the start, with signage at the door asking if you’re on the list (mirroring the lyrics), and including the interactive “Words from the Girls” mirror station, where attendees penned advice on pink sticky notes for fellow baddies (but goodies) before snapping mirror pics.
Over at the “Leave Your Mark” canvas, guests topped up their lip combos to leave lipstick kiss prints alongside an Instax Polaroid station, while The Girls’ Charm Bar gave everyone a chance to assemble custom jewellery pieces to take home.
Curated Cocktails and Treats
The menu was just as thoughtfully curated:
- The Bathroom Bestie: Aperol Spritz served with a reminder not to settle and to leave the bathroom smiling.
- The Bad Influence: Raspberry vodka lemonade served with edible floating printed toppers and marshmallow skewers.
- Extra Touches: Ése Tequila pouches (Rosa and Blanco), various flavours of the canned ‘Cocktails at Home’ range, cherry-topped rosetted handmade cupcakes, and striped goodie bags stamped with lines like “Main Character Energy xo” and “Lipgloss. Phone. Keys.”
Live Performances
Hot off her amazing set at Liverpool Sound City 2026, there was the bonus of some stunning live music from her growing repertoire of impressive hits, including live renditions of Play Pretending, Go Baby Go, Stargazing, alongside some unreleased sneak peeks, like Boo Hoo, before launching into party mode by playing the upbeat nightlife anthem, With the Girls, and kicking off the rest of the night’s fun and games.
