The Older Tour is the ongoing second concert tour by American singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine in support of her third studio album, Older (2024). It began on April 21, 2024, in San Diego, and will conclude on October 31, 2024, in Dublin, comprising 31 shows across North America, Europe and Oceania. A portion of ticket sales will be donated to LGBTQ Youth charity The Ally Coalition.[1]

Background[edit]

Older, Lizzy McAlpine's third studio album, will be released on April 5, 2024, through RCA Records. It was announced, along with its cover artwork, on February 13, 2024.[2] The lead single of the same name was also released on the same day.[3] To support the album, McAlpine announced her second concert tour, the Older Tour, via social media two days later, along with its first set of dates through cities in the United States, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.[4] She also stated: "I know it's been a while since I've gone on the road but I needed to figure out a way to do it that would be less taxing on my mental and physical health, and I think we've done that".[5] It includes her biggest Irish headline show to date,[6] the Bonnaroo Music Festival, and the Hinterland Music Festival.[7]

The tour's tickets pre-sale started on Wednesday, February 21, and the general on-sale date was scheduled for Friday, February 23.[8] On the former date, second shows were added in Philadelphia, Washington, New York City, Boston, and Los Angeles.[9] On 7 April, an Australian leg of the tour was announced marking her debut headline tour in Oceania.[10]
