Phoebe Bridgers will hit the road this spring with another North American leg of her Reunion Tour.
The singer-songwriter will return to the stage on April 13 at the Arizona Federal Theatre in Phoenix before playing both weekends of Coachella, April 15 and April 22. The first leg of her tour — which includes a handful of festival dates — will officially launch May 13 at the Amp at Craig Ranch in Las Vegas, and wrap June 15 at the Prospect Park Bandshell in Brooklyn. Following a U.K. and European run, Bridgers will return for a short West Coast trek that starts August 7 at Hinterland in Saint Charles, Iowa, and ends August 28 with a set at the This Ain’t No Picnic festival in Los Angeles.
Fans can now register for tickets via Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan program through March 8 at 12 p.m. ET. The Verified Fan presale will begin on March 10 at 12 p.m. local time. For every ticket sold to one of Bridgers’ headlining shows, $1 will be donated to the Mariposa Fund, which helps undocumented people obtain reproductive health services.
After releasing her celebrated second album, Punisher, in 2020, Bridgers properly launched her Reunion Tour last fall. Along with those gigs, Bridgers collaborated with Taylor Swift on the Red (Taylor’s Version) track, “Nothing New,” while also dropping two charity singles, a cover of Bo Burnham’s “That Funny Feeling” and a rendition of Tom Waits’ “Day After Tomorrow.”
Earlier this month, Bridgers announced that she would be hosting a monthly radio show on Sirus XM’s indie station, XMU. Saddest Factory Radio — named for Bridgers’ label, Saddest Factory Records — will feature Bridgers picking songs and interviewing other artists. The first episode aired on March 3, and future episodes will arrive on the first Thursday of every month.

Metallica bassist Jason Newsted says he is now “free and clear” after facing throat cancer.
The 63 year old musician, who played with the Enter Sandman legends from 1986 through 2001, has shared details of his diagnosis publicly for the first time. He explained that doctors discovered it early, and on May 8, 2025 he “underwent a procedure” to treat the condition.
Speaking on the Let There Be Talk podcast, he said: “They took a bunch of s*** outta here and then they went in with lasers this way and took a bunch of s*** out.
“So the cavern inside my head is different than it was, but we got it early. And I got my ‘free and clear’ about three weeks ago. So I beat it.”
Jason contributed to several of Metallica’s most iconic releases, including 1988’s ...And Justice For All, their self titled 1991 album, 1996’s Load, the 1997 follow up Reload, and 1998’s Garage Inc.
After going through his cancer experience, the bassist made a point to slow down and actually give himself time to recover instead of constantly pushing forward.
He explained: “I promised myself I was going to rest, and that was the first time I’ve done that in my life.
"I’m usually just on or off. And so I promised myself I was gonna take the gravity off and lay down for the right amount of hours."
The health scare also led Jason to give up smoking weed and drinking alcohol, something he admits he likely would not have done otherwise.
He added: “The great spirit got my attention and said, ‘That’s not good right now, man.’ And so it pulled me off it.
"And so now I’m more clear-headed than I’ve been in my entire adult life. And so there’s blessings within everything. The lemonade I’m making this summer, bro — mm. Sweet. Ooh.”
Jason has previously said that his unexpected departure ultimately helped Metallica continue moving forward, while James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich later admitted they struggled to process his decision at the time.
Lars told Apple Music in 2021: “Jason is the only member of Metallica who has ever left willingly. And that in itself is a statistic.
"And the resentment from James and I was just so… 'You can’t do that. You can only leave if we want you to leave'.
"And then we weren’t equipped at the time to do a deep dive into why he was leaving. So of course, now you can see 20 years later, it makes complete sense.”
