Background

Older , Lizzy McAlpine's third studio album was released on April 5, 2024, through RCA Records. It was announced, along with its cover artwork, on February 13, 2024. [2] The lead single of the same name was also released on the same day. [3] To support the album, McAlpine announced her second concert tour, the Older Tour, via social media two days later, along with its first set of dates through cities in the United States, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. [4] She also stated: "I know it's been a while since I've gone on the road but I needed to figure out a way to do it that would be less taxing on my mental and physical health, and I think we've done that". [5] It includes her biggest Irish headline show to date, [6] the Bonnaroo Music Festival, and the Hinterland Music Festival. [7]

The tour's tickets pre-sale started on Wednesday, February 21, and the general on-sale date was scheduled for Friday, February 23. [8] On the former date, second shows were added in Philadelphia, Washington, New York City, Boston, and Los Angeles. [9] On 7 April, an Australian leg of the tour was announced marking her debut headline tour in Oceania. [10]

Format

In light of the cancellation/rescheduling of European tour dates on her "End of the Movie" tour due to mental and physical health concerns, [11] she shared that this tour would accommodate that. [5] She has said that five seconds flat and the tour were modeled after a more traditional pop album and concert, but that it didn't feel like her and ultimately was difficult to perform. [12]

Upon entering the venue, attendees are greeted with a homey set that mimics the cabin-like recording studio that she and the band recorded Older in. [13] As the lights dim, the band comes out one by one and starts. McAlpine is the last to come out; she finds her place on the stage and dons a pair of headphones. [14] The show is designed to allow her to focus wholly on the music while performing. Depending on the song being played, she sometimes joins the band with her guitar, or moves to share the piano bench with Taylor Mackall, the album's pianist.

The setlist generally follows the order of the album, with songs from her previous album, five seconds flat, interspersed. This includes doomsday, ceilings , and chemtrails. Notably, the chemtrails is preceded by the 13th track on Older, March, both of which are songs about McAlpine's late father. The 13th song on all of her albums is dedicated to him, as he passed away on March 12th, 2020. [15] Each show typically also includes a suprise song and an unreleased song. [16]
