Mon Laferte announces “Femme Fatale Tour”
Iconoclastic singer-songwriter and producer Mon Laferte announces 28-date Femme Fatale Tour across the U.S. and Canada in North America. The 28-date tour – read the routing below – kicks off on July 24 at the Place Bell in Laval, Quebec, making stops in Austin, Miami, Detroit, New York, and more before wrapping up in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum on Nov 7. Promoted by Live Nation, tickets will be available starting with a Citi presale (details below**) beginning on Tues., March 24 at 12PM local time ahead of additional presales taking place before the general on sale beginning on Fri., March 27 at 10AM local time at LiveNation.com.

The powerful Chilean-Mexican artist also releases “Spotify Sessions” EQUAL Edition, a five-song live audiovisual EP that captures the unmistakable voice of this five-time LATIN GRAMMY-winning artist. Along with her theatrical magnetism, she explores a jazz sound, accompanied by an all-female ensemble featuring Reona Sugimoto on drums, Patricia “Pilla” Reyes on piano, Marie Anne Greenham on double bass, and Maria Grant on saxophone. Mon Laferte produced the piece alongside director Magaly Ugarte.
The “Spotify Sessions” reimagines standout songs from Mon Laferte’s critically celebrated ninth studio album Femme Fatale with raw intensity and timeless elegance. The focus track, “Femme Fatale,” takes center stage in this intimate performance. In the session, Mon leans into the noir glamour, lounge textures, and emotional volatility that define the album’s aesthetic. Mon delivers a haunting, stripped-down interpretation that underscores the strength and vulnerability at the heart of her current era.
Femme Fatale presents 14-tracks written by Mon Laferte. Across jazz-inflected arrangements, bolero undertones, and nostalgic pop textures, she channels broken glamour, sensuality, chaos, and self-possession — a modern portrait of the femme fatale archetype.
Mon Laferte’s inclusion in Spotify’s EQUAL program further solidifies the multi-Latin GRAMMY® nominee as one of the most important female voices in contemporary Latin music. EQUAL, launched globally by Spotify, seeks to combat gender disparity in the music industry by spotlighting women creators worldwide — a mission that aligns seamlessly with Mon’s lifelong commitment to artistic independence and feminine power.
Mon Laferte’s momentum continues on the road as she brings her Femme Fatale era to audiences across Latin America with a sweeping 2026 tour through Mexico, Central America, and South America. A defining highlight includes a triumphant headline performance at Quinta Vergara during the legendary Viña del Mar festival, where she received the highest honor, the Platinum Seagull award.
Mon’s return to Viña as a headline artist of global reach marked a powerful full-circle moment, reaffirming her status as one of Chile’s most avant-garde cultural figures celebrated internationally.
Additionally, Mon Laferte recently opened acclaimed fashion designer Willy Chavarria’s Paris runway show, delivering a striking live performance of “Femme Fatale” that merged theatrical performance art with high fashion. Known for his bold political statements and reimagining of American identity through a Chicano lens, Chavarria’s collaboration with Mon underscored both artists’ shared celebration of Latin identity, drama, and unapologetic presence. Mon’s appearance marked a powerful crossover cultural moment — positioning her not only as a musical force but as a global style and artistic icon.
Mon Laferte continues to redefine what it means to be a Latin alternative superstar: fearless, genre-defying, and wholly original. Throughout 2025, Mon was the most-listened-to Mexican artist on Spotify and currently ranks among the top 500 artists on the platform.
