| Laufey concert chronology | |
The Bewitched Tour (known as Bewitched: The Goddess Tour for the 2024 dates) is the ongoing second concert tour by Icelandic musician Laufey.
Background[edit]
In September of 2023, Laufey released her second full-length album Bewitched.[1][2] In the fall of 2023, Laufey embarked on a North American headlining tour, which sold out instantly.[3] In early 2024, Laufey embarked on a European tour.[4] Laufey also embarked on a second North American leg, titled "Bewitched: The Goddess Tour", which also sold out instantly.[5][6] In May 2024, Laufey will perfform multiple shows in Asia.[7] In July, Laufey will perform more European dates.[8] In August and September 2024, Laufey will return to Asia again for tour dates, as well as Australia for the first time.[9]
Critical reception[edit]
The tour received positive reviews. Writing for Boston.com, Maddie Browning said, "She is the leading lady in a theatrical performance about the trials and immense joys of young love, drawing inspiration from artists like jazz icon Ella Fitzgerald."[10] Writing for The Harvard Crimson, Claire Elliott wrote "The shared theme of love across her songs only intensified her brilliant performance. Laufey’s songs are not simply about love in its vague sense. She treats every type of love — ecstasy, heartache, anger, and even confusion — with the same delicacy and attention. As a result, her performance becomes an encapsulation of what it means to love — making it quite hard not to love her."[11]
