After MSG Sellout, Phoebe Bridgers Plots Fall Tour

Phoebe Bridgers has spent the past month turning up where nobody expected her. The singer/songwriter kicked off a string of surprise acoustic shows in Roswell, N.M., in early May and then visited unlikely markets such as Toledo, Oh., Mobile, Al., and Fargo, N.D.
She capped the run Thursday night (June 4) with a sold-out, phone-free performance at Madison Square Garden. Now comes the next chapter: a full-scale return to arenas.

Bridgers has announced The Lost Tour, her first proper roadwork on her own in more than three years. The trek begins Sept. 15 in Indianapolis and runs through North America before heading to the U.K. and Europe later in the year, with Alex G opening the North American dates and former Black Country, New Road frontman Isaac Wood joining overseas.
At MSG, Bridgers was backed by longtime collaborator Christian Lee Hutson and Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner. She used the evening to unveil an astonishing amount of new material, which is expected to appear on her next Dead Oceans album. At one point she played seven consecutive as-yet-untitled tracks, later returning with an eighth. The new songs painted vivid snapshots of place and memory, with references ranging from Coney Island and the Wonder Wheel to being “California sober.”
As with the surprise acoustic shows, the entire upcoming tour will be phone-free. Audience members will place phones and smart devices in Yondr pouches upon entering venues, a move designed to preserve the communal atmosphere of the recent performances. $1 from every North American ticket sold will benefit RAINN, the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization.
Registration for the artist presale is open now through June 11, with general on-sale beginning June 12.
