Mitski has announced a new summer touring schedule that includes some brand new dates as well as some dates that were previously rescheduled when someone in her touring party tested positive for COVID last month. The newly announced shows include a second date at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, some new shows in the UK and Europe, and a handful of other shows in North America, on top of the newly rescheduled dates. Check out all her upcoming shows below.

Mitski released a new album, Laurel Hell, in February via Dead Oceans. In March she teamed up with David Byrne and Son Lux for the new song, “This Is a Life,” from the soundtrack to the A24 film Everything Everywhere All At Once. “This Is a Life” was one of our Songs of the Week.

Read our review of Laurel Hell here.

Previously released singles from Laurel Hell are “Working For the Knife” (which topped our Songs of the Week list), “The Only Heartbreaker” (also featured on our Songs of the Week list), and “Heat Lightning” (which again was on our Songs of the Week list). That was followed by “Love Me More,” shared via a surreal video for it featuring a puppet version of Mitski and more. “Love Me More” was also one of our Songs of the Week. When the album was released Mitski shared a video for “Stay Soft.” Then she performed “Stay Soft” on Jimmy Kimml Live! in March.

Many of the songs on Laurel Hell were written during or before 2018. The album was finally finished being mixed in May 2021. Mitski’s longtime producer Patrick Hyland worked with her on the album throughout the pandemic and it’s the longest she has ever worked on an album. Over the course of its creation, Mitski said in a previous press release that the album evolved “to be more uptempo and dance-y. I needed to create something that was also a pep talk.”

Of the lyrical themes on the album, Mitski said: “I needed love songs about real relationships that are not power struggles to be won or lost. I needed songs that could help me forgive both others and myself. I make mistakes all the time. I don’t want to put on a front where I’m a role model, but I’m also not a bad person. I needed to create this space mostly for myself where I sat in that gray area.”

Mitski’s last album, Be the Cowboy, was #2 on our Top 100 Albums of 2018 list and landed her on the cover of our print magazine.
