Gizelle HernandezSummer Walker is gearing up to perform at Georgia’s Coca-Cola Roxy venue in her Atlanta hometown.
The songstress will grace the stage Feb. 18, in support of her sophomore album Still Over It, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in November, becoming her first project to top the chart. Tickets for the show are available for purchase via Walker’s official website.
Still Over It, which follows her 2019 debut album Over It, earned 166,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 11, according to MRC Data. Thanks to the support of Walker’s longtime listeners, 90% of the album’s first-week units were driven by streaming activity. Still Over It marks both the first R&B album by a woman to top the Billboard 200 in more than five years and the largest streaming week ever for an R&B album by a woman.
Last week, Walker joined Usher for a performance at his Las Vegas residency to deliver a live rendition of their fan-favorite duet “Come Thru.”
Walker also impressed viewers during her performance at the 2021 BET Soul Train Awards in November alongside fellow hitmaker Ari Lennox. The pair performed their hit song “Unloyal” together.
With the success of Still Over It, Walker rose to No. 1 on the Artist 100 chart for the first time in her musical career. Walker tied Taylor Swift for the most simultaneously charted titles among women on the Billboard Hot 100 with 18, all from Still Over It, led by “No Love” with SZA.

MUNA have officially shared full details of their long awaited fourth studio album, Dancing On The Wall, which is scheduled to arrive on May 8.
The news comes with the release of the record’s title track and its accompanying official video, giving fans their first real look at what the trio’s new chapter sounds and feels like.
To mark the occasion, the group are planning a run of intimate underplay performances in Los Angeles, New York and London during release week. It will be a special opportunity to catch MUNA up close before they step back onto larger stages later this year.
Opening up about the project, the band described the title song as a standout moment within their body of work.
They shared: “Dancing On The Wall is possibly our favorite song we’ve made as a band. We think it’s all the best parts of MUNA – it’s coming from a really emotional and lonely place, but the song itself makes us feel powerful and euphoric. It’s written in the moment that the clock strikes midnight at the ball, and you have to give up the fantasy. In this case, it’s the fantasy of loving someone or something that can’t love you back.”
The 13 song album was produced by Naomi McPherson, allowing the band to take full creative ownership of the sound and direction. It is a project that pulls listeners straight to the dancefloor while still keeping its vulnerability front and center.
MUNA, made up of Katie Gavin and Josette Maskin alongside McPherson, have continued to build momentum over the years and were personally chosen by Harry Styles as the opening act for his first solo tour. Since then, they have also performed with Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, in addition to sharing bills with Lorde, boygenius and Phoebe Bridgers.
Dancing On The Wall follows their 2022 self titled album, which marked their first release as independent artists after signing to Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records in 2021.
Fans can stream the title track across all major platforms now. For tickets to MUNA’s upcoming shows, visit laylo.com/whereismuna/m/munatour.
