Headlining Concerts
From now on Angelina was supported by Anthony Harvey as music director, and also many other band members played in most or all of the following concerts (as of early 2026). She had four concerts at three dates/locations this year.
Las Vegas concerts
On leap day in late February, she had two back to back concerts at the International Theater of the Westgate ressort in Las Vegas. This is the very same stage, where Elvis had his residency with more than 600 shows.
She played less orignals than in her previous concert in Portsmouth, but premiered an unreleased original song, "Princess of Ruins" 🞂 ↗ (which as of early 2026 has still not been released for purchase or streaming).
In additon to some known originals and covers, about half of the songs performed were covers which she played either for the first time live – like "All I Ask" 🞂 ↗, "Hero" 🞂 ↗, "Moon River" 🞂 ↗ (only in first show), "My Funny Valentine" 🞂 ↗ (only in second show), and "One Moment in Time" 🞂 ↗ – or for the first time in a long time – like "Diamonds Are Forever" 🞂 ↗, "Feeling Good" 🞂 ↗; and "Stay" 🞂 ↗.
Alex Theater, Glendale
On 2024-09-20, the same day as her original "Bad Valentine" was released, Angelina had a concert at the Alex Theater in Glendale (just north of Los Angeles), where she premiered the song live 🞂 ↗. Toby Gad joined the band on piano for this title and two more songs he had co-written, namely "All of Me (John Legend song)" 🞂 ↗ in a duett with Scott Hoying, and an unreleased original, "Thank You" 🞂 ↗, done in reggae style.
For the first time (and as of early 2026 the only time) she had opening acts for her concerts, which were first Toby's daughter Mae Mae, and then Scott Hoying, known from Pentatonix.
In the second half of the concert, she was for a couple of songs accompainied by Jimmy Z (who had already played with her in the 2021 Online Christmas Show), such as "I'd Rather Go Blind" 🞂 ↗ (which he knows very well from touring with Etta James for years).
Other songs she performed here for the first time live were "Set Fire to the Rain" 🞂 ↗, "Right Here Waiting" 🞂 ↗, "Love in the Dark" 🞂 ↗, "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" 🞂 ↗, "My Way" 🞂 ↗ (as encore), and another unreleased original, "What Am I to You" 🞂 ↗.
Christmas Special, El Rey Theater, LA
On 2024-12-14 Angelina had a Christmas Special, LA at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles. She was again joined by Toby Gad and Jimmy Z.
Toby accompainied her on keyboard on two of the songs they had co-written, which were the jazzy, Piano Diaries version of "Bad Valentine 🞂 ↗, and a stripped down version of "Thank You" 🞂 ↗.
She played all the songs from her 2023 Christmas EP, including the title giving Chris Rea cover "Driving Home for Christmas" 🞂 ↗.
