Produced by Live Nation, the European leg of the tour kicks off June 1 in Amsterdam at Ziggo Dome, making stops in Paris, Berlin, London, and more before wrapping up in Dublin at 3Arena on June 21.
The S.O.S. Tour will then circle back to North America, kicking off on September 20 in Miami at Kaseya Center, and making stops in Brooklyn, Houston, Los Angeles and more before wrapping up in Phoenix at Footprint Center on October 29.
SZA, real name Solána Rowe, has frequently tweeted her frustrations at having to meet deadlines, going as far to suggest this would be her last release. An ubiquitous online figure, SZA has leaned into her role as an unreliable narrator; her fanbase know to take her musings with a pinch of salt, and that errant, fly-by-night persona echoes across this gargantuan 23-track project.
On ‘S.O.S’, SZA has trust issues: the practice and pressure of being a public-facing figure wrangling with internal demons, forms the base notes of this labyrinthine set-up. The album sleeve’s picture of stark solitude – a contemplative SZA suspended atop a diving board backed by the encroaching sea – is evoked in songs exploring the quest for artistic perfection, the paradox (and parasocial nature) of fame; the self-loathing it breeds and the inverse journey to finding a measure of self-love.
The 2023 tour follows SZA’s hugely successful sophomore album, SOS, which was released in December and earned the superstar the record for the largest streaming week for an R&B album in the United States. The album also claimed ten non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart – the most among albums by women in seven years.
During the first run of the S.O.S. Tour earlier this year, SZA gave unforgettable performances night after night. The platinum recording artist performed classics like “Love Galore” and “The Weekend” in addition to newer mega-hits such as “Kill Bill,” and “Shirt.” Fans also got to experience special performances from a number of surprise guests including Phoebe Bridgers, Cardi B, Summer Walker, Lizzo and more.
