Tour Context and Album Details
Support Acts: As of September 20, 2026, keiyaA is the only widely listed support act, appearing on Kelela’s two Los Angeles Wiltern shows on September 21 and 22. No additional openers have been announced for other North American dates.
Ticket Prices: SeatData reports secondary-market get-in prices on the 2026 North American headline run ranging from $32 at The Observatory North Park in San Diego to around $140 at Chicago’s Vic Theatre. London O2 Academy Brixton tickets start from approximately £44.95.
The Album: new avatar arrived July 10, 2026 via Warp Records. The 12-track record features production from Oscar Scheller on most tracks, with A. K. Paul handling “outta time,” and guest appearances from PinkPantheress, Fousheé, and A.K. Paul. The album blends Kelela’s early D.C. indie roots with shoegaze, grunge, electronic and experimental club music, and R&B.
Tour Patterns and Positioning
The new avatar live routing uses multi-night plays in two key markets, with two nights at The Wiltern in Los Angeles and two at Brooklyn Paramount in New York. The tour also includes three festival appearances at Portola in San Francisco, III Points in Miami, and C2C Festival in Turin. These slots place Kelela within the electronic and dance festival circuit alongside her headline club shows.
The European leg follows a club-focused approach, with venues such as Paradiso in Amsterdam and O2 Academy Brixton in London at the larger end of the range. The run marks Kelela’s first full multinational tour in several years.
Kelela described the live show to the Los Angeles Times: “It’s going to be first and foremost, like any record or anything that I do, cathartic for me. So I’m going to be living my best f— life and through that I know I will give a good show because it just excites me. It’s a dream come true to be able to pull these things together.”
All currently announced routing ends with the November 4, 2026 London show, and no 2027 dates have been released.
How To Get Tickets
Several upcoming dates still have tickets available, including Los Angeles on September 22, San Diego, Phoenix, Atlanta, and the III Points festival in Miami. Official tickets for these shows are available through Ticketmaster via the links above.
For sold-out headline dates, official Ticketmaster pages sometimes release held inventory closer to the show. Checking those pages directly remains the most reliable approach. Festival tickets for Portola and III Points are sold through each festival’s box office and provide general festival access, such as 2-Day GA passes, rather than entry to Kelela’s set alone.
C2C Festival in Turin sells tickets through its official channels, including the DICE platform. Options include daily tickets and multi-day passes such as the four-day Passport, which covers the full lineup across OGR Torino and Lingotto Fiere, and shorter passes like the two-day Golden Pass.
Fans in Europe and the UK can find tickets for Kelela’s new avatar live dates on primary platforms such as Ticketmaster. The London O2 Academy Brixton show is organized by Live Nation.
