Tinashe has officially moved into the next phase of what her team is apparently calling Operation: Uplift Tinashe, which sounds less like a marketing strategy and more like a covert mission to ensure she gets the recognition she's long deserved. The pop star has announced a spring 2027 tour behind her acclaimed album Popstar, kicking off with three Texan dates next April and wrapping a month later in California.

Before the year is out, Tinashe will host victory-lap performances in Brooklyn on October 24 at Brooklyn Paramount and Los Angeles on November 7 at Hollywood Palladium. She's also set to open two dates on Harry Styles' ongoing tour next spring, which is a nice way of saying she'll be warming up crowds for a man who once wore a feather boa to the Grammys.

Tinashe released Popstar last month to a chorus of critical and commercial kudos, as well as props from artists including Charli XCX, who brought her out at Austin City Limits to give "Nobody Wanna Dance Anymore" and "Melatonin" their live debuts. Because nothing says "I support you" like handing over your stage to someone else's songs.

The full tour route, for those keeping score: April 14 in Dallas at The Bomb Factory; April 15 in Austin at Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater; April 16 in Houston at Bayou Music Hall; April 18 in Kansas City at The Midland Theatre; April 20 in Nashville at Marathon Music Works; April 22 in Atlanta at The Eastern; April 24 in Charlotte at The Fillmore; April 26 in Washington, DC at The Anthem; April 27 in Philadelphia at Franklin Music Hall; April 28 in Boston at Roadrunner; May 1 in Pittsburgh at Stage AE; May 5 in Denver at Mission Ballroom; May 6 in Salt Lake City at The Union; May 8 in Portland at a venue to be announced; May 10 in Vancouver at Malkin Bowl; May 11 in Seattle at Paramount Theatre; May 13 in Oakland at Fox Theater; and May 15 in Los Angeles at Shrine Expo Hall. Because nothing says "spring tour" like a month-long sprint through every major market in North America.
