Laufey concert chronology |
The Bewitched Tour (known as Bewitched: The Goddess Tour for the 2024 dates) is the ongoing second concert tour by Icelandic musician Laufey.
Background
[edit]In September 2023, Laufey released her second full-length album, Bewitched.[1][2] In the fall of 2023, Laufey embarked on a North American headlining tour, which sold out instantly.[3]
In early 2024, Laufey began a European tour.[4] She also started a second North American leg titled "Bewitched: The Goddess Tour," which sold out quickly.[5][6]
In May 2024, Laufey performed several shows in Asia.[7] She also announced additional European dates for July;[8] however, in June, she cancelled these dates due to an "irreversible scheduling conflict."[9] In August and September 2024, Laufey will return to Asia for more shows, including her first arena headline show at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in the Philippines,[10] and will tour Australia for the first time.[11]
Critical reception
[edit]The tour received positive reviews. Writing for Boston.com, Maddie Browning said, "She is the leading lady in a theatrical performance about the trials and immense joys of young love, drawing inspiration from artists like jazz icon Ella Fitzgerald."[12] Writing for The Harvard Crimson, Claire Elliott wrote "The shared theme of love across her songs only intensified her brilliant performance. Laufey’s songs are not simply about love in its vague sense. She treats every type of love — ecstasy, heartache, anger, and even confusion — with the same delicacy and attention. As a result, her performance becomes an encapsulation of what it means to love — making it quite hard not to love her."[13]
