Halsey is gearing up to get back on the road for the first time since their Manic world tour was cut short in early 2020. Now, the singer is returning for a tour of North America hitting solely outdoor venues in support of If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power.
The aptly titled Love and Power tour will kick off at the iThink Financial Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, Florida, on May 17 and stretch through July 9, when it will conclude with a show at Irvine, California’s FivePoint Amphitheater. Ticket sales begin Friday, Feb. 4.
Joining Halsey on the Love and Power tour for select dates will be Beabadoobee, Pinkpantheress, the Marías, Abby Roberts, and Wolf Alice. A number of shows on the tour, including stops in New York, Alabama, and Wisconsin, double as festival appearances. Last week, it was announced that Halsey would headline Governors Ball in New York on June 11.
The tour also marks Halsey’s first complete collection of shows to be announced since they gave birth to their first child last year. Having publicly documented their experience with pregnancy and endometriosis over the course of their career, the singer opened up on the press cycle for If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power about how finally reaching this milestone goal came with stigma for the future of their career.
“I think that the weight of … a female artist [is] deciphering time as not your enemy, when you’ve been taught for so long to think that it is. ‘Don’t get too old. Don’t get pregnant because then you can’t go on tour,’” Halsey told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “It’s really nice to be able to look at time as an ally, where for me time has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. It’s allowed me to grow and allowed me to heal and allowed me to develop.”

Brad Paisley has called Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding “one of the least pretentious weddings he’s ever seen”.
The country star attended the ceremony alongside his actress wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. They joined around 1,000 guests at New York City’s Madison Square Garden earlier this month as the global pop icon married the American football star.
Although the celebration attracted enormous attention and involved tight security and a stunning makeover of the famous arena, Paisley said the occasion never came across as excessive.
“Ironically, (it) was one of the least pretentious weddings that I've ever seen or ever will see,” Paisley told The Associated Press during an interview. “It meant a lot to be (invited). It was, kind of, a big thank you from her to invite us.”
Paisley, who chose Swift as an opening performer for his tour when she was a teenager in 2007, said he was delighted to be included in what many considered the biggest celebrity wedding of the year.
“They were very clear with the invite, and I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite, it said, ‘If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us,’” he revealed.
The musician also explained that guests were not told the wedding’s exact location until the date drew nearer.
“It was really fun to watch the cat and mouse game of, like, ‘We can tell you roughly where it's going to be, we're not gonna say what building... and here's the date. If you're in, we'll tell you more,’” he continued. “I went to my wife, I said, ‘Want to go?’ and she said, ‘Absolutely, we gotta be there!’ So, we did it, it was RSVP yes.”
Other famous attendees included Brad Pitt, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran, Sabrina Carpenter, Hugh Grant, Haim and Tom Hanks.
