Julien Baker will return to the road this fall for a North American tour.
The songwriter and boygenius member will kick off the trek with three nights at Chicago’s Thalia Hall beginning Sept. 23. She’ll then head to the East Coast, with a stop at the inaugural All Things Go Music Festival in New York alongside Chappell Roan, Reneé Rapp, Janelle Monáe, and others. The tour will wrap back on the West Coast, with multiple nights in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Baker released her most recent solo album, the excellent Little Oblivions, in 2021. She spent 2022 on the Wild Hearts Tour with Angel Olsen and Sharon Van Etten, before dropping the explosive, full-length boygenius debut the record in 2023. The trio — consisting of Baker, Lucy Dacus, and Phoebe Bridgers — toured extensively and won several Grammys.
In boygenius’ Rolling Stone cover story, Baker spoke about the immense fame she was about to experience with the record. “There is a part of me that gets very easily intimidated by stuff because I have a country-mouse complex,” she said. “But so far the commitments that we have, they’re just my job at a different scale. I don’t think that my life can change and blow up without my permission. I could just go play these gigs in bigger venues than I’m used to playing, and then I could just continue to go home and go help my neighbors mow their lawn.”
Tickets for Baker’s tour go on sale Friday.
