Multi-platinum artist and creative polymath Melanie Martinez announces HADES: THE SACRIFICE, her new North American and European tour in support of HADES, her fourth studio album. Produced by Live Nation, the global run will begin with a first leg across North America and Mexico this summer before heading overseas for a series of arena dates across the United Kingdom and Europe. See full tour routing and ticketing info below.
On the tour, Melanie shares: “When writing HADES, I knew the tour for this album had to be immersive and cinematic. Creating a new character and thinking of how she’ll be performing in this new world is so exciting. This tour is very different to anything I’ve done before, and involves more practical elements and camera illusions that I’m really excited about. We’re working on making sure each song gets their moment. I hope it can bring people together under these strange dystopian times we’re living in.”
HADES debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, marking her fourth consecutive Top 10 debut and third consecutive Top 5 debut. The album also opened at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Alternative Albums chart and Rock & Alternative chart as well. A brooding, maximalist 18-track journey into the fractured psyche of modern life, HADES cements Martinez as one of the most daring voices of her generation. In a recent review of the record, Rolling Stone calls Melanie "a prolific visionary with no shortage of imagination..."
Tonight Melanie will perform the track "POSSESSION" on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (11:35pm EST/10:35pm CST /11:35pm PST on ABC). Make sure to tune in!
The announcement follows a fan-driven rollout for HADES, which Melanie unveiled through a series of sold-out listening experiences in London, Amsterdam, and Toronto. Conceived as immersive previews of the album's world, the events brought fans closer than ever to the music, a vision Melanie then expanded with intimate performances in New York City, Mexico City, and Los Angeles, where she debuted the album live with a full band and string section. HADES: THE SACRIFICE marks her first major tour since 2024, when she played and sold out the largest venues of her career, including two nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and The O2 in London, while also headlining marquee festivals such as Lollapalooza and Corona Capital.
