Sia’s 2011 U.S. Tour Is Born

The Australian pop singer/songwriter is touring in support of her fourth studio album, We Are Born.

Entertainment Weekly praised the album for mixing “cut-a-shag-rug funk, finger-snappy soul and squiggly disco … It’s party music with a heart.” We Are Born was released in 2010 as the follow-up to 2008’s Some People Have Real Problems.

The “We Are Born Tour” begins July 21 at First Avenue in Minneapolis. U.S. dates are booked through an Aug. 17 gig at Showbox SoDo in Seattle.

Additional U.S. shows include Chicago’s Metro / Smart Bar (July 22); New York’s Webster Hall (July 26-27); 9:30 Club in Washington, DC (July 28); House Of Blues Boston (July 31); New Orleans’ House Of Blues (Aug. 5); and Houston’s Warehouse Live (Aug. 6).

West Coast gigs are set for The Wiltern in Los Angeles (Aug. 10); San Diego’s House Of Blues (Aug. 11); Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park (Aug. 13); and Wonder Ballroom in Portland, Ore. (Aug. 16).

Canadian performances include Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto (July 24), Osheaga Festival at Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal (July 30), and Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver (Aug. 19).

Danish pop singer/songwriter Oh Land will be joining Sia on the road as her special guest.
