The Bewitched Tour (known as Bewitched: The Goddess Tour for the 2024 dates) was the second concert tour by Icelandic musician Laufey.
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 returned to Asia for more shows, including her first arena headline show at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in the Philippines, [10] and toured Australia for the first time. [11]
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]
This set list is representative of the show in Boston on 7 May 2024. It is not representative of all concerts for the duration of the tour. [12]

On 23 October 2024, Laufey announced that her performance at the Hollywood Bowl on 7 August 2024 would be released in theaters. [15] The film had a limited release, only being shown 6, 7, and 8 December in standard and IMAX formats worldwide. The film added a message from Laufey at the beginning, thanking her fans for this opportunity. During the intermission, a scene was added of Laufey driving around Hollywood Boulevard in her Cadillac, talking about her time living in Los Angeles. [16] The film cut out much of the first half of the performance, but left in all of her performance with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and her talking in between songs.
