(NEW YORK, NY) -- Fresh off a sold-out 2024 U.S. tour and the release of their new single "Sad Divide," London-based alt-pop trio Autoheart are hitting the road again—packing up their heartbreak, harmonies, and hypnotic hooks for The Heartlands Tour.

Spanning 38 cities across the U.S., Canada, and the UK, the tour will showcase their upcoming fourth studio album, Heartlands: a full-throttle dive inspired by the band’s cross-Atlantic odyssey—part neon-lit truck stop, part gay angst introspection, all unmistakably Autoheart.

Tickets on sale Friday, April 25th via the band’s website: www.weareautoheart.com/live

 

The setlist? Still a closely guarded secret. But expect a high-voltage mix of fan favorites (“Lent,” “Agoraphobia,” “My Hallelujah”), viral hits (“Stalker’s Tango”), and future classics from the new record.

“This album is the music, moments, and places that shaped us—and the world Heartheads have built around our songs,” says guitarist Barney JC. “‘Heartlands’ is imagined as much as it’s real.

“People have told us our songs have been with them in big moments, that they’ve helped them through hard times. That’s why we do this—music has done the same for us.

“This time, we’ve worn our influences on our sleeves—R.E.M., Alanis, Tori, Sheryl… and British bands like The Cure, Tears for Fears, Eurythmics. There’s another world too: indie artists like Ani DiFranco, Liz Phair, Kristin Hersh—outsiders like us.

“Heartlands is about the road, the records that brought us here, and the people who’ve made our music part of their lives.”

Each stop on the tour will include a special VIP acoustic set—30 tickets per venue. VIPs get early entry, a meet-and-greet with the band, a signed poster, and an exclusive tour laminate.

Over more than a decade, LGBTQIA+ band Autoheart have carved out their own lane—melding indie, folk pop, and low-fi disco into something intimate, cinematic, and wholly theirs. With over 3 million monthly streams on Spotify and a fiercely devoted global following, they remain proudly independent—writing, producing, and releasing everything on their own OR Records imprint.

The Heartlands era is Autoheart at full power: cinematic, unfiltered, and unapologetically grand. This isn’t just another tour—it’s a road trip through the band’s creative core. And every fan is riding shotgun.
