ADÉLA Announces First North American Headlining Run With ‘The Red Bottoms Tour’
Rising pop artist ADÉLA is officially stepping into headliner territory. The singer announced her first-ever North American headlining trek, dubbed The Red Bottoms Tour, set to kick off later this year.
The tour arrives in support of her debut EP, The Provocateur, which was released in 2025 through Capitol Records. The project introduced listeners to ADÉLA’s dramatic, sleek pop sound, with songs pulling from her own experiences chasing success in the music industry. Across the EP, she explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and exploitation, wrapped in glossy production and larger-than-life storytelling.
The Red Bottoms Tour begins on September 9 in Detroit before making stops across North America, including Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Washington D.C., Brooklyn, Nashville, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. The run will wrap with two shows in Mexico City on October 15 and 16. A London date is slated for August ahead of the North American leg.
The announcement lands just one day after ADÉLA wrapped her supporting run on Demi Lovato’s It’s Not That Deep Tour. The Slovak-born singer has spent the last year steadily building momentum after first gaining attention through Dream Academy, the competition series that later launched the girl group KATSEYE.
Earlier this year, ADÉLA released the single KGB, which quickly picked up traction online. Fans attending Lovato’s tour were also treated to previews of unreleased material, adding more anticipation around what may come next from the 22-year-old artist.
Since releasing The Provocateur, ADÉLA has earned praise from outlets including Vogue, The FADER, Interview Magazine, and PAPER Magazine. Her early solo performances in London, New York, and Los Angeles quickly sold out, hinting at the growing audience behind her dark-pop aesthetic and sharp stage presence.
Artist presale tickets become available Wednesday, May 27 at 10 a.m. local time through ADÉLA’s official website. General ticket sales begin Friday, May 29 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster.

Sébastien Tellier Announces First North American Tour in Over a Decade
French electronic artist Sébastien Tellier is heading back to North America for his first run of U.S. and Canadian shows since 2014. The tour arrives after the release of his latest album, Kiss The Beast, and follows a string of sold-out performances across Europe, including major stops at Paris’ Olympia and London’s KOKO.
The newly announced dates kick off this fall and include headline shows in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, along with an appearance at CRSSD Festival in San Diego and several dates in Mexico. Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 28th at 10 a.m. local time.
A longtime staple of the French Touch movement, Tellier recently teamed up with David Guetta for the single “Thrill of the Night,” featuring Slayyyter and Nile Rodgers. The track has quickly climbed the UK club charts, giving Tellier another unexpected late-night anthem to add to his catalog.
Kiss The Beast sees Tellier pulling together a wide mix of collaborators, including Kid Cudi, producer SebastiAn, composer Victor Le Masne, and arranger Owen Pallett. The record leans heavily into lush pop arrangements, glossy electronic textures, and Tellier’s usual mix of sincerity and absurdity.
Since releasing Domesticated in 2020, Tellier has stayed busy with film soundtrack work, production credits for other artists, and a pair of EP releases. He also delivered a widely praised performance of “La Ritournelle” during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony in Paris.
Over the years, Tellier has built a cult following through songs like “Divine,” “Roche,” “Fantino,” and “L’amour et la violence,” blending disco, synth-pop, soft rock, and electronic music into a style that has always felt slightly strange in the best way possible. His signature look, long hair, dark sunglasses, and full-bearded mystique, has made him just as recognizable in fashion circles as in music.

The Smashing Pumpkins Announce Massive ‘The Rats In A Cage Tour’ Celebrating Mellon Collie Anniversary
The Smashing Pumpkins are heading back on the road this fall with a tour built around one of the defining rock albums of the 1990s. The band officially announced “The Rats In A Cage Tour,” a North American arena run celebrating the 30th anniversary of Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness.
The tour kicks off Sept. 30 in Columbus, Ohio and runs through November, with stops across the United States and Canada, including a Vancouver date in November. The tour’s name comes from the famous lyric in “Bullet With Butterfly Wings,” one of the biggest singles from the landmark double album.
Frontman Billy Corgan said the band has talked about doing a Mellon Collie-focused production for years, but wanted to wait until the timing and concept felt right. This time around, fans are getting something much bigger than a standard anniversary tour.
Each show will feature two separate sets. The first is dedicated entirely to Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness in what the band describes as a theatrical presentation of the album’s music and themes. The second set will pull from nearly four decades of material, mixing major hits, fan favorites, and deeper cuts from albums spanning Gish through 2024’s Aghori Mhori Mei.
The 1995 album remains one of the biggest alternative rock releases of its era. Songs like “1979,” “Tonight, Tonight,” and “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” helped turn the band into arena headliners and defined alternative radio for a generation of fans who suddenly realized that album is now 30 years old. Time is rude sometimes.
The announcement follows a busy stretch for the band and for Corgan himself. Over the past two years, the Pumpkins have revisited Mellon Collie through deluxe reissues, orchestral reinterpretations with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and special live performances. Corgan has even been taking the material overseas with orchestral theater shows backed by a 60-piece orchestra.
Before the arena tour begins, the Pumpkins will return to Lollapalooza this summer for the first time since the festival’s touring era in 1994, marking a major hometown moment for the Chicago band.
Tickets for “The Rats In A Cage Tour” go on sale May 21 at 10 a.m. local time through the band’s official website. Citi and Verizon presales begin May 19, while members of the band’s VIZ CLUB fan community will get access to a special presale on May 20. More information here.
The band will offer VIP packages featuring a pre-show acoustic performance, Q&A session, exclusive merchandise, memorabilia, lounge access, and early merch shopping.
With no opening acts announced so far and two full sets planned each night, the tour is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious live productions the band has attempted in years.
