The dates for Rina Sawayama’s upcoming tour across North America have been made public at long last. The pop star, now 31 years old, will embark on her Hold The Girl Tour and make her way across the United States this fall.
The journey will begin on November 1 in Brooklyn and make stops in several cities across the country. These cities include Boston, Nashville, and Austin, among others. Rina Sawayama is scheduled to perform her tour’s final show on November 23 in Los Angeles. The performer is also planning to perform on some festival dates worldwide, including a limited run of events in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
This month, Sawayama announced that the title of her upcoming second album would be Hold the Girl. The album is planned to be launched on Friday, September 2, and the lead single for the album, titled “This Hell,” was released earlier this month.
Sawayama says, “I’ve been listening to many female country singers over the past couple of years, and I wanted to write a euphoric and tongue-in-cheek country pop song.” Sawayama is referring to the song in his statement. For me, the significance of country music is the embodiment of comfort, the art of brilliant storytelling, and the genuine expression of the songwriter’s reality.
“I tried to incorporate as many iconic moments from pop culture as possible, but the song is about more than that.”
