Trek will commence this spring and include a mix of headlining gigs and festival shows

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.

Taylor Swift believes Nashville has a music scene that stands apart from anywhere else.

The 36 year old singer moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when she was young to chase her dream of becoming a country music star. After being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on Monday (26.10.26), Taylor took the opportunity to recognise the city and the talented writers who have helped shape its music scene.

In her acceptance speech, Taylor said: "I believe you really get to master a craft by doing it again and again. That's exactly what the incredible songwriters in this wonderful town do every day."

Taylor also spoke about what makes Nashville such a special place for musicians.

The award winning singer, who ranks among the best selling music artists of all time, said: "You won't find another music community quite like this one. Trust me, I've checked them all."

Taylor also shared how being part of Nashville's songwriting scene had taught her valuable lessons about life and working with others.

She joked: "I've learned to be flexible when your co writer turns up with a hangover, or when they need to spend ages talking about their divorce before we can even get started on a song."

Taylor previously spoke about how Faith Hill and Shania Twain inspired her decision to move to Nashville.

Speaking to Time magazine, the singer said: "I couldn't get enough of watching TV biographies about Faith Hill and Shania Twain, and I realised they had both moved to Nashville to get their careers started. After that, I kept asking, pleading and begging my parents to take me there.

"When I was 11, my mum took my brother and me to Nashville during spring break, and we spent the trip driving around Music Row. She stayed in the car while I rushed into record companies one after another, giving my demo CD to the receptionists. I found it fascinating that so many major record labels were gathered along a single street, often inside little buildings and old houses.

"What really stayed with me was how welcoming people were to newcomers and complete strangers like us. We started visiting Nashville more often, and when I was 13, I received an offer for a development deal from a major record label. That was when my parents finally agreed to leave Pennsylvania and move with me."
