Fresh off her triumphant Met Gala appearance and amid mounting anticipation for her forthcoming single “The Subway,” Grammy-winning artist Chappell Roan has unveiled plans for a special series of pop-up concerts this fall. Dubbed “Visions of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things,” the eight-date tour will hit just three cities—New York, Kansas City, and Los Angeles—in what Roan describes as a “love letter” to these communities before she retreats to work on her next album.
The intimate shows will take place across four nights at Queens’ iconic Forest Hills Stadium (September 20-24), two nights at Kansas City’s Museum and Memorial Park (October 3-4), and conclude with two performances at Pasadena’s Brookside at the Rose Bowl (October 10-11). In a heartfelt social media announcement, Roan shared her enthusiasm: “I am sooooo excited to announce my Pop-Up Shows in New York, Kansas City, and Los Angeles this fall. I love these three cities so much + wanted the chance to do something special before going away to write the next album.”
True to her fan-first ethos, Roan has implemented several measures to keep tickets accessible. Partnering with CashApp, she’s offering 15% cashback for purchases made with the Cash App Visa debit card, while utilizing Fair AXS technology to combat scalpers and bots. Additionally, $1 from every ticket sold will benefit organizations supporting trans youth in each host city—a continuation of Roan’s longstanding advocacy.
The tour announcement comes as Roan continues to tease “The Subway,” her long-awaited new single. Though she’s performed the track at festivals like Primavera Sound since 2024, its official studio version remains unreleased. Mysterious posters have recently appeared across New York City alongside what fans speculate is a music video teaser, fueling excitement for what promises to be another bold creative statement from the artist.
These pop-up shows mark a rare opportunity to experience Roan’s electrifying stage presence in comparatively intimate venues before her inevitable return to arenas. With her signature blend of theatrical flair and raw emotionality—plus the promise of previewing new material—the “Visions of Damsels” series is poised to be one of fall’s most coveted concert events.
Tour Dates:
- Sept 20-24: Forest Hills Stadium (Queens, NY)
- Oct 3-4: Museum and Memorial Park (Kansas City, MO)
- Oct 10-11: Brookside at the Rose Bowl (Pasadena, CA)
Tickets are expected to sell quickly for what may be Roan’s final live performances before her next album cycle begins. For fans awaiting “The Subway,” these shows offer the perfect bridge between chapters—and proof that Chappell Roan remains one of pop’s most generous and unpredictable forces.
