Melanie Martinez announces Hades Tour, Barclays show. Get tickets

Melanie Martinez is emerging from the underworld.The avant-garde pop star just announced she’s going to play arenas all over North America this summer on her ‘HADES: THE SACRIFICE TOUR.’Early in the U.S.and Canada leg of the run, the 30-year-old NYC native will make her sole Big Apple stop when she headlines at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Thursday, July 23.This international outing comes in support of Martinez’s recently-released fourth studio album “HADES.” According to Variety, the 18-track record “skewers toxic masculinity, online haters, climate change and lots more” while remaining “intense yet accessible.”Notable tracks spawned from the biting offering include the breakout hit “POSSESSION,” hypnotic bop “DISNEY PRINCESS” and haunting epic “THE VATICAN.”“When writing ‘Hades’ I knew the tour for this album had to be immersive and cinematic,” Martinez noted in a statement.

“This tour is very different to anything I’ve done before, and involves more practical elements and camera illusions.We’re working on making sure each song gets their moment.

I hope it can bring people together under these strange dystopian times we’re living in.”Some Cry Babies have already gotten a taste of this grand vision.Prior to making the official tour announcement, Martinez played a handful of intimate ‘HADES RITUAL’ concerts to warm up for the globetrotting trek.That included a concert at New York City’s 3,327-seat United Palace on March 27.

At that gig, she debuted all 18 songs from the record in order, according to Set List FM.“I LOVED IT,” a Redditor shared after attending the concert.“I wasn’t sure what to expect because I’ve never seen her perform, but she was excellent! The stage set up was cool because the background changed…with the song.

I loved that they had all the instrumentalists right on stage too!!! Melanie was very active on stage and the crowd ate it uppppppp!!!”Inventory becomes available ...
