Phoebe Bridgers has announced more live shows as part of her “Reunion” Tour. The acclaimed singer/songwriter had a busy 2021, with 4 GRAMMY nominations, multiple late night TV performances – including a smashing debut on Saturday Night Live – a sold out Fall tour, multiple festival appearances, two songs for charity (“That Funny Feeling” and “Day After Tomorrow”) and collaborations with Taylor Swift, The Killers, Paul McCartney, Metallica and more. Most recently, she received Billboard’s 2022 Women in Music Trailblazer Award and revealed plans for her own monthly radio show, Saddest Factory Radio, on Sirius XMU. Now, she’s getting ready to go back on the road, this time, taking her critically acclaimed Punisher album to audiences across the United States and Canada, as well as to the UK and Europe for the very first time.

The North American run of the Reunion Tour includes a slew of dates April to August – and makes stops in Atlanta, Washington D.C., Brooklyn, Seattle. Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan Registration is open now and closes Tuesday, March 8 at 12pm EST. Verified Fan Presale begins Thursday, March 10th at 12pm local time. $1 of every headline show ticket sold will be donated to The Mariposa Fund, fiscally sponsored by The West Fund, which helps pay for undocumented people trying to obtain reproductive health services, including abortion. The UK dates however come through a little more sporadically. With a handful of festival appearances at the likes of Glastonbury, and Latitude, the headline shows have seemingly been built around them. A date at London’s Brixton Academy comes in July after Latitude, whereas the Barrowlands night comes a month earlier just preceding Glastonbury. You can look into the verified fan presale here, and check out general tour details here.
During the premiere of her latest radio show, amongst all the hype that had been generated regardless, Bridgers fans were treated to a haunting cover of Billie Eilish’s ‘when the party’s over’. Accompanied by a notably glum solo piano, and some sparse backing vocals, the cover takes Eilish’s track and does what every great cover does; maintain the original scope of the song while also adding a fundamentally unique and personal slant. The result is exactly how good as it sounds. Phoebe Bridgers taking on Billie Eilish. It’s great. Bridgers then took the performance and released it on SoundCloud for all to hear, you can check that out here.
