GAYLE
Acacia Evans*Rising star GAYLE is adding dates to her debut headlining tour. Less than three weeks after announcing her first three headlining shows, Gayle is expanding her tour by 10 new dates.
GAYLE will now play second shows in Nashville and New York on March 10 and 21, respectively. In April, the “abcdefu” singer will also perform in Toronto, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, Portland and San Francisco. Following her North American dates, GAYLE will hop over to London for a May 30 gig at Omeara.
The new dates come after the initial run sold out immediately earlier this month for the 17-year-old who had a stellar 2021. Her debut single “abcdefu” is in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, so far peaking at No. 8, and the singer topped Billboard’s Emerging Artists list. Her hit continues as the biggest song in the world, as it logged a third week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated Jan. 29).
Between her headlining dates, GAYLE will also serve as support for Tate McRae’s 2022 North American tour. GAYLE will hit six stops with McRae in Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Washington, D.C.
Beyond those dates, GAYLE will also tour the U.S. with AJR for their Ok Orchestra tour from late April until May 20.
GAYLE also recently shared her eagerly anticipated new single “ur just horny.” Check out the official music video for the new single below. The single is part of an upcoming EP expected out this spring.
Tickets for GAYLE’s headlining dates go on sale to the general public on Friday. Head here for more information. See the full list of headlining dates below.
Not for the first time, Moby is speaking out against Donald Trump’s administration with clear frustration.
“The U.S. is collapsing under a deeply corrupt and shockingly ineffective administration,” the longtime electronic musician shared on social media. “These are unbelievably dark times.”
Moby went deeper into his thoughts through a video message, where he explained that people outside the United States keep asking Americans what is actually happening in the country.
“So many of my friends outside the United States keep asking me, ‘what the hell is happening over there?’ And honestly, we don’t even know,” he said. “The country is being controlled by one of the most corrupt, dangerous and incompetent administrations imaginable. Nobody fully understands what’s happening right now. These are very dark times in America.”
Moby joins a growing list of artists publicly criticizing Trump and MAGA politics, including Bruce Springsteen, Jack White, Eminem and Billie Eilish.
Earlier this year, Moby uploaded another statement to social media where he addressed how people should respond following the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. “The real question isn’t whether people should feel horrified or outraged by what’s happening in the United States,” Moby explained in the Jan. 26 clip. “The question is what are we actually going to do about it?”
The musician and activist also encouraged people to protest, saying demonstrations are a constitutional right and something he believes Trump’s administration is attempting to weaken.
In the end, he urged people to vote regularly, “not only during the upcoming midterms, even though those matter, but also in every special election throughout the year.” He also encouraged supporters to “stop giving money to the scumbag corporations backing Trump and ICE. We all know who they are. Boycott them.”
His newest remarks arrive as the U.S. Justice Department unveils a nearly $1.8 billion compensation fund for Trump allies who claim they were unfairly investigated. At the same time, the Strait of Hormuz remains shut down following military action launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran in late February without approval from Congress, leading to rising gas prices across the globe.
Throughout his independent music career, Moby has earned 10 entries on the Billboard 200 along with two songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and an enormous catalog of sync placements. Overseas, particularly in the United Kingdom, he is viewed as one of the defining artists of his era. He scored two No. 1 albums there with Play from 1999 and 18 from 2002, alongside 18 top 40 singles and two nominations for Best International Male at the BRIT Awards.
