The London artist (real name Elly Jackson) will head out on the road in the new year to showcase her fourth studio album, ‘Old Flames’, which is released on November 6.
“I can’t wait to get back on stage and bring the world of ‘Old Flames’ to you guys,” Jackson wrote on social media to confirm the forthcoming shows.
The trek is due to kick off in Toronto on January 31, ahead of further stops across the US. These include gigs in Boston, Washington DC, Brooklyn, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and San Francisco throughout February.
From there, La Roux is scheduled to perform in Mexico City on February 25. The European leg will follow in early March, with concerts lined up in Berlin, Cologne, Amsterdam and Paris.
Jackson is then set to return to the UK for shows in Glasgow, Manchester and Bristol. The tour will conclude with a homecoming appearance at Electric Brixton in London on March 24.

La Roux has already previewed her new album with the singles ‘Lose Myself’, ‘Babyline’ and ‘Cabin Fever’. Following on from 2020’s ‘Supervision’, the LP finds Jackson facing the collapse of a 17-year relationship head-on. It tackles themes of forbidden love, the loneliness “that comes with addiction, and the struggle to reconcile sexuality and identity when in the public eye”.
Within the lyrics on the record, the synth-pop star references everything from David Lynch to Donnie Darko while “capturing a sound that is both immersive and nostalgic, while also forward-facing”.
“This record says things how they are: how I am and who I am. It’s been a process of admitting what I got wrong through telling these tales and coming to terms with where I am now,” Jackson explained previously.
“’Old Flames’ is essentially me processing why I’ve behaved the way that I have and saying goodbye to it. It’s a farewell to that way of behaving in love and life. And in music too.”
In other news, La Roux has opened up about having a “nervous breakdown” and taking a break from the limelight.
