Tinashe announced Monday (Oct 19) that she will carry Popstar across North America next spring, booking 18 headlining dates for The Show Must Go On Tour between April 14 and May 15, 2027. The artist presale opens this morning at 10 a.m. local time, and a Live Nation All Access presale follows at noon for participating venues.
The general public sale begins Wednesday, October 21 at 10 a.m. local time through Tinashe's official website and authorized venue sellers, according to Pollstar's report on the routing. Her Ticketmaster artist page lists Austin, Houston, Charlotte, Washington, Vancouver, Seattle and Oakland among its participating dates, while AXS and independent local promoters are handling several other stops.
The tour borrows its name from The Show Must Go On, the 12th of 16 tracks on Popstar, which Tinashe released September 25 through her own Tinashe Music imprint alongside Nice Life and Atlantic Records. The album debuted at No. 6 on the October 10-dated Billboard 200 with 35,500 equivalent album units, giving her the first top 10 album of her career and clearing the No. 17 peak her debut, Aquarius, reached in 2014.
Pure album sales accounted for 22,000 of those units, another personal best, and pushed the record to No. 4 on Top Album Sales. Four singles laid the groundwork over the summer, starting with Too Easy in June and running through Crash Out, Melatonin and Pillow Fight, each landing with an audience that grew after the viral run of Nasty and the Disco Lines remix of No Broke Boys.
The run opens April 14 at The Bomb Factory in Dallas and works through Texas, the Midwest and the South before an East Coast leg, then turns west to finish May 15 at Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles. New York-area fans get no spring stop of their own, which leaves Philadelphia and Boston as the closest rooms on the map.
Portland is booked for May 8, although no venue has been named and tickets for that show will go on sale later, so fans should skip unofficial listings until Tinashe or the local promoter posts details. Sale windows also vary by city, and Another Planet Entertainment's Oakland listing sets its local presale for noon today while keeping Wednesday's public sale in place.
Ticketmaster shows the artist presale running into the evening of October 21 for several concerts, though inventory left once the public sale opens may be thin. No opening act has been announced, and there is no standardized VIP package covering the full tour.
The spring dates follow her sold-out One Night With a Popstar concerts, which still have two stops left: Saturday, October 24 at Brooklyn Paramount and November 7 at Hollywood Palladium. Neither show counts toward the 18 headlining dates.
The campaign has already reached festival scale, with Tinashe joining Charli xcx at Austin City Limits for Nobody Wanna Dance Anymore and Melatonin, and she is set to open for Harry Styles at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on April 2 and April 3, less than two weeks before Dallas.
The rooms she picked sit between those extremes. The Anthem, Roadrunner, Mission Ballroom, Fox Theater and Shrine Expo Hall are big enough for a choreography-driven production and still close enough that the back rows can follow the footwork.
Vancouver is the only Canadian stop, with no Toronto date on the routing and no additional performances announced beyond the 18 dates and the pending Portland venue.
