Rising pop artist Nessa Barrett has announced her first-ever headlining tour of North America in support of her debut album, young forever. The 15-date trek kicks off in Phoenix, AZ on February 23rd, followed by stops in Atlanta, Nashville, Boston, New York, and Chicago before concluding in Los Angeles, CA on March 21st at the historic Fonda Theater. General on-sale will take place on December 16th at 12pm local time HERE. All dates can be found below.
The announcement comes on the heels of the 20-year-old releasing the extended edition of young forever. It boasts five new tracks including a striking cover of Arctic Monkeys’ newly viral “505,” which trades in the group’s understated swagger for an ethereal rendition dripping in sex appeal. The other four tracks, all originals, range from the darkly upbeat “deathmatch” to the gorgeously haunting “god’s favorite.”
After being named as one of Billboard’s “21 Under 21” — as well as being featured on Ones to Watch’s list of “25 Artists to Watch in 2022”, Uproxx’s “Next Hitmakers List” and People Magazine’s Emerging Artist List — Barrett has gone on to accumulate more than one billion streams. She was also nominated for Push Performance of the Year at the 2022 MTV VMAs. As her star rises, the singer-songwriter is determined to use her fame for good.
With songs like February’s “dying on the inside,” released to raise awareness about eating disorders, Barrett is dedicated to using her platform as a source of healing. In recent months, the singer-songwriter has played prestigious shows in preparation for her tour, including When We Were Young festival and a one-off performance at LA’s El Rey Theatre. Barrett is now ready to take the show on the road and make new fans at each and every stop along the way.
