Acclaimed artist Lizzy McAlpine will embark on “The Older Tour” this year, an extensive headline run hitting North America, the U.K. and Europe, with more dates to be announced. The confirmed spring and summer shows include Radio City Music Hall, Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Bonnaroo and Hinterland festivals and more.

Tickets will be available for presale starting tomorrow, February 21 at 10:00AM local time with general on-sale following this Friday, February 23 at 10:00AM local time. A portion of the proceeds from Lizzy McAlpine’s “The Older Tour” will go to The Ally Coalition (TAC) and their work supporting LGBTQ Youth.

Recorded and produced in Los Angeles by Lizzy and Mason Stoops (Ryan Beatty, Del Water Gap) with additional production by Ryan Lerman of Scary Pockets, Jeremy Most (Emily King, Norah Jones) and Tony Berg (Taylor Swift, Boygenius), Older finds the 24-year-old rising star stepping into newfound confidence, discovering her voice and defining her artistry with profound simplicity.
“To me, this album represents who I’ve become over the past three years,” says Lizzy. “Through the long and mostly tumultuous journey of making it, I have learned who I am as a person, who I want to be as an artist and what kind of art I want to make. This album is a culmination of that growth, showcasing the rawest and most honest version of me.”
Most recently, Lizzy shared the album’s title track, “Older,” named a “gorgeous” and “gloomy” piano ballad by UPROXX.
Older is the follow up to Lizzy’s widely successful second studio album, five seconds flat which was released to critical acclaim in the spring of 2022. The record features hit singles “all my ghosts,” “erase me (feat. Jacob Collier)” as well asthe Platinum-certified track “ceilings,” which debuted at No. 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Born outside Philadelphia, Lizzy McAlpine gained recognition when she began to share original songs and covers on Soundcloud and YouTube. In 2020, Lizzy released her debut album, Give Me A Minute, solidifying herself as a rising force and amassing thousands of devoted fans. She has collaborated with some of the industry’s biggest names, most recently featuring on Niall Horan’s “You Could Start a Cult” and Noah Kahan’s “Call Your Mom.” Watch Lizzy perform on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Ellen Show and NPR Music’s Tiny Desk where her set was voted in the Top 5 Tiny Desks of 2022. More from the acclaimed artist is imminent.
