Zella Day’s stunning set at Lollapalooza, the Chicago Tribune said, “This is rock, make no mistake about it… Hooks galore, and choruses that swing for the fences.” If you missed the show, don’t worry, Zella’s added two more big festival dates to her upcoming tour schedule.
She’s joining a who’s who (The Weeknd, Skrillex, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Cold War Kids, Fetty Wap, ILove Makonnen, Santigold among others) on the cutting edge of modern pop music at the Billboard Hot 100 Fest taking place Aug 22-23 in NYC. Billboard will document Zella’s experience on the road leading up to the festival culminating with her performance on Aug. 23 at Nikon at Jones Beach. Exclusive, behind-the-scenes video content will be hosted onBillboard.com, Billboard’s YouTube channel and on ThePatchHouse.com and The Patch’s YouTube page. Zella’s festival participation includes supporting a new partnership between Billboard and The Patch, a program created by Sour Patch Kids, that provides a free home-away-from home for emerging musicians on the road.

The Billboard Hot 100 Fest marks just one stop on her upcoming U.S. headline tour, which also includes a performance at iHeartRadio Music Festival ‘s Daytime Village in Las Vegas where Zella will share the stage with artists such as Hozier, Tove Lo, Walk The Moon and George Ezra among others at the MGM Resorts on Sept. 19.
The Arizona native released her debut album KICKER this past June via Pinetop Records / Hollywood Records. A bold statement for the budding songstress exploring the depths of toxic relationships and modes for resilience, KICKER has The New York Times affirming, “…(there’s) a hint of genuine darkness behind each treacherous romance.”
In June, Zella made her U.S. television debut on CONAN, delivering a stunning performance of hit single “High.” View HERE.
