Kali Uchis Announces The Sincerely, Arena Tour Kicking Off August 14
GRAMMY®-winning global recording artist Kali Uchis has announced her much-anticipated Kali Uchis – The Sincerely, Tour—a 24-city North American headline arena run supporting her fifth studio album Sincerely, which released just last week via Capitol Records – stream here. Promoted by Live Nation, the tour kicks off on August 14 in Portland, OR, at Moda Center. It will make stops in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Toronto, and Chicago among others before wrapping up on September 25 at Ball Arena in Denver, CO.
The tour arrives on the heels of Uchis’ fifth studio album, Sincerely, released just last week amidst widespread anticipation. Her most intimate and vulnerable body of work to date, the 14-track record is a testament to the curative power of deep love, and a powerful representation of the way Uchis romanticizes life and her inner world. Written and executive produced by Uchis, Sincerely, finds the genre-traversing star feeling more herself than ever. The project arrived alongside an official music video for standout track “All I Can Say”, a cinematic performance piece directed by Bethany Vargas, inspired by classic film noir and the 1950’s showcasing Kali Uchis transformed into a timeless on-screen siren – watch here.
Next, she will return to North America for a headlining arena run kicking off on August 14 in Portland, OR. Through late summer and early fall she will make stops across the country playing some of her largest venues to date including The Kia Forum in Los Angeles, and the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City. The 24-city tour concludes on September 25th in Denver, Colorado at Ball Arena.
Joining Uchis on all dates are Thee Sacred Souls, the 11-piece band from San Diego whose lush, analog sound and heartfelt performances have earned them a devoted fanbase. Following a series of sold-out shows, including three nights at The Wiltern in Los Angeles and a headlining performance at Brooklyn Paramount, the tour marks its debut on arena stages. Thee Sacred Souls have also just released their first new song of the year in “We Don’t Have To Be Alone,” recorded during the sessions for the band’s sophomore album Got A Story To Tell, released last October on Daptone Records.
