Julien Baker Teases New Album, Announces Tour After Nashville Pop-Up Performance

More than five years after the release of her last solo album, Little Oblivions , Julien Baker is teasing a new record and heading on the road.

Baker performed a surprise pop-up at The Blue Room at Third Man Records in Nashville Wednesday, debuting a handful of new songs, and on Thursday announced a run of shows in the fall.

Between Oct. 15 and Nov. 21, Baker will play 18 shows: three nights each at clubs in Salt Lake City; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Carrboro, North Carolina; Athens, Georgia; Lawrence, Kansas; and Seattle.

Tickets for all the shows go on sale Sept. 12 at the venue box offices only with a two ticket limit.

A portion of the proceeds from will go to The Ally Coalition, a nonprofit supporting LGBTQ youth across the country.

In conjunction with her country-tinged collaboration with TORRES, Baker toured in 2025, though it was cut short as Baker said she needed to take time for her mental health. A 2024 solo tour followed a similar set-up to the one announced today — multiples at a handful of venues. That tour included three nights at Bimbo’s 365 in San Francisco, grossing $93,856 on 2,100 total tickets, according to Pollstar Boxoffice reports.

Baker is repped by Kevin French and Brian Greenwood at CAA in North America and managed by Jonathan Eshak at Mick Management.
