Ashnikko Has a ‘Slumber Party’ With Princess Nokia & Crowns a ‘Smoochie Girl’ at LA’s Shrine Auditorium: See the Full Setlist

When Ashnikko opened her performance at L.A.’s Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall on Friday (March 20) with “Working B—h,” she let the crowd know exactly what she would be doing for her entire nearly two-hour-long performance: working.

Los Angeles was the second stop on the 30-year-old alt-pop singer and rapper’s Smoochies world tour, supporting her second studio album, 2025’s Smoochies. Friday’s show at the Shrine was also Ashnikko’s first full performance in Los Angeles since she opened for Billie Eilish in 2024 on the Hit Me Hard and Soft tour.

It was clear even before that the crowd had been long awaiting Ashnikko’s return to L.A., as a large contingent of attendees adopted Ashnikko’s “trinket girl” aesthetic for the occasion. Fans decked out in “itty bitty” skirts, thigh-high boots, blue wigs and, of course, plenty of trinkets filled the Shrine Auditorium. Some particularly dedicated fans even went so far as to paint their faces white and cover their bodies in lip prints. For audience member drag queen Kacey Starz, committing to the Ashnikko bit really paid off when the singer called them up, bowed down to them and bestowed them the honor of being L.A.’s “Smoochie Girl” — a ritual that comes with a sash, crown and bragging rights.

From the first song, the crowd screamed along to every word Ashnikko rapped and sang. With a balance of new and old songs, Ashnikko catered to fans old and new, even asking the crowd if anyone has been around since her 2021 EP Demidevil or earlier — many in the audience screamed in affirmation. In the end, the 23-song setlist was half songs off Smoochies, while the other half was a mix of tracks from her first album Weedkiller, previous EPs and singles. Smoochies singles “Trinkets” and “Itty Bitty” were big hits with the audience, who jumped up and down in their platform boots with Ashinkko. Meanwhile, deep cut and ballad “It Girl” provided a heartfelt moment of reflection and connection between the artist and fans.

The decision to heavily feature older tracks also paid off as the crowd screamed along the loudest to songs like “Manners” from her 2019 EP Hi, It’s Me and Weedkiller‘s lead single “You Make Me Sick.” Particularly ear-rupturing cheers came from the crowd when Princess Nokia, one of the two openers, stepped back on the stage to perform her verse to Ashnikko’s viral song “Slumber Party.”
