Tori Amos Announces Summer US Tour
Alt-rock queen Tori Amos has more tour dates lined up in support of her celebrated 2021 album, Ocean to Ocean. She’s announced a U.S. summer tour that features more than two dozen gigs including stops at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado.
Her 16th studio album is described as her “most personal work in years – bursting with warmth and connection, with deep roots in her earliest songwriting.” The subject matter “explores environmental concerns, the restraints of the pandemic for those on the cusp of adulthood, empowerment, loss and healing.” Ocean to Ocean ranked No. 2 on the Billboard Current Alternative Albums Chart and No. 6 on the Billboard Album Sales Chart, marking her tenth Top 10 project.
In addition to her album earning racking up praise from the media and fans, she’s also earned raves for her recent live show.
A review of her April 2022 performance at Dallas’ Majestic Theatre by the Dallas Observer declared: “Amos’ elastic, crystalline mezzo-soprano voice has lost none of its snap and power. She might have taken some songs down a step or two, but the intensity wasn’t the least bit diminished. Walking your own path, undeterred by all that’s swirling around you culturally, can be a daunting proposition, but Amos remains now as she was when she first walked onto the scene, a singular talent whose gift has only deepened with time.”
Following a European tour in March, the summer North American run begins June 17 at West Palm Beach, Florida, with a show at the Kravis Center.
Amos will be joined on stage with long-time collaborator bassist Jon Evans and renowned UK drummer Ash Soan. Special guest support is yet to be announced.
“I am truly excited to be coming back to the US on the Ocean to Ocean Tour this summer with my amazing bandmates Jon Evans and Ash Soan,” the musician, author and activist said in a statement. “We are so looking forward to playing iconic venues once again such as The Greek in LA, Red Rocks and especially Wolf Trap, where I saw so many shows growing up in neighboring Maryland. As I write this, I’m training hard as we head to Europe in March before then heading back to the States in June.”
Presales for select dates begin as early as Feb. 1. The general onsale for most gigs starts Feb. 3 at 10 a.m. local time. An announcement on Amos’ website notes that ticket sales for Vienna, Virginia; Saratoga, California; and Seattle are to be determined. Check out the routing below.
Box office reports submitted to Pollstar for Amos include three shows at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles June 15-17, 2022, that sold 5,966 tickets and grossed $421,802. The performances were promoted by Nederlander Concerts.
