Tori Amos: In Times of Dragons Tour
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC'S PICK:
Sat., July 18
Tori Amos, Bartees Strange, Symphony Hall - She's no Bruce Springsteen, but singer/songwriter Tori Amos is also taking her politics to the stage. This tour supports the new In Times of Dragons album, her 18th, released this past May. It's a typically dramatic, artsy, prog-leaning and serious production from the pianist, artist, and author, who has never shied away from revealing her innermost thoughts in song. The thematic work is "about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny" as she explains. Sound familiar? She'll also recap songs that have brought her here in a career that dates back to the late '80s. - Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
A pioneer across platforms, Tori Amos is a multiplatinum singer-songwriter, pianist and composer who is nominated for a GRAMMY for the soundtrack to her 2025 New York Times bestselling children’s book Tori and the Muses. Tori is thrilled to announce her 18th studio album In Times of Dragons due out May 1 via Universal/Fontana. Revered for building a multifaceted and unifying career of work defined by fearless activism and otherworldly musicianship, the new collection continues this storytelling tradition through a dynamic cast of characters. It is a powerful journey of resilience and awakening where the pursuit of freedom meets forces that seek to control and silence. Tori shares, "In Times of Dragons is a metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator believing Lizard Demons’ in their usurpation of America.”
Tori will support the album with an extensive 35-date U.S. summer tour, making stops in NYC, LA, Chicago, Nashville, Boston, Austin, Philadelphia, and at the legendary Red Rocks amongst many more. The live shows will see Tori joined once again by longtime collaborators Jon Evans (MD and bass) and Ash Soan (drums) plus the addition of three backing singers - Liv Gibson, Deni Hlavinka and Hadley Kennary to perform songs from In Times of Dragons alongside highlights from across her illustrious 35-year career, which has seen eight Grammy nominations and over 12 million global album sales. This will be preceded by her largest European tour for a decade, spanning 17 countries.
