Sia has announced her first full concert tour in five years.
The singer-songwriter famed for concealing her face has scheduled 20 gigs in North American cities between September and November of this year. A further two dates will take place in locations that are still “TBC”.
She will be supported on all dates of her ‘Nostalgic For The Present’ tour by Miguel and Alunageorge.
Sia, whose highly acclaimed Coachella sets last month (April) featured appearances by Kristen Wiig and Paul Dano, is also booked to play 13 festivals this summer in North America, Europe and Israel. However, she has yet to announce plans to perform live in the UK and Ireland.
Sia released her latest album ‘This Is Acting’ in January. It consists of songs Sia originally wrote for – but saw rejected by – other artists including Beyoncé, Adele, Rihanna, Demi Lovato and Katy Perry. The album has peaked so far at Number Three in the UK and Number Four in the US.
The album’s latest single ‘Cheap Thrills’ has become her biggest ever hit on the UK’s Official Singles Chart, peaking at Number Two. Meanwhile, Sia has recently written a song for Blondie‘s new album which Debbie Harry has described as “amazing”.
