St. Vincent begins a North American trek next week in Detroit and the rocker has announced she will be staying on the road a little bit longer.
The artist has added a run of “Fear The Future” dates mostly in the regional south in the U.S. in February and early March. The first night is Feb. 15 at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, N.C. She plays throughout that month and her last scheduled date is now at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theatre / France-Merrick Perf. Arts Ctr., March 4.
Presales for the select new dates start Nov. 8-9 and the general onsales open Nov. 10 at 10 a.m. local time.
St. Vincent is playing on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” Nov. 10, playing “Los Ageless” off her latest album, Masseduction.
She just wrapped up a trek through Europe last month, the last show being at TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht, Netherlands Oct. 27.
The last run of reports we received from St. Vincent was in 2015, and already she was doing good business, filling theatres in North America, hitting festivals, and opening for Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters. Her best attended solo show that year was at Margot & Bill Winspear Opera House in Dallas May 17, which had 2,116 tickets moved, 95 percent of capacity.
