Bridgers' Album & Tour
Phoebe Bridgers Announces New Album 'Lost Weekend' and Extensive 'Lost Tour' for Fall
Key Points
Lost Tour North American leg ends November 1 in Inglewood, CA, followed by a 14-date European leg; opening acts include Alex G in North America and Anaïs in Europe.
The Lost Tour will be fully phone-free at venues, with audience members required to place devices in Yondr pouches upon entry.
A charitable component pledges $1 from every North American ticket sold to RAINN.
The title track is expected to premiere June 25 at 7 p.m. ET on YouTube, with no official tracklist revealed yet.
The album artwork has been released alongside the announcement, signaling a minimal rollout that emphasizes the music.
Phoebe Bridgers is releasing her first solo album in six years. The record is called *Lost Weekend* and drops August 14 via Dead Oceans, Billboard reports. Pre-orders are live now, and the lead single premieres June 25 at 7 p.m. ET on YouTube.
The announcement follows a string of phone-free pop-up shows and a sold-out Madison Square Garden event that cost fans just $1 to attend. A 45-date arena tour, "The Lost Tour," kicks off September 15 in Indianapolis and runs through late December, The FADER reports.
Six-Year Wait Ends With Minimal Fanfare and Maximum Anticipation
*Lost Weekend* is Bridgers' follow-up to 2020's *Punisher*, according to Hollywood Reporter. The gap was filled by the massive success of supergroup boygenius, which earned Bridgers four Grammy Awards in 2023. After that cycle ended, she largely disappeared from public life — deleting social media and skipping major festivals, Paste Magazine reports.
The album has 16 confirmed tracks, according to The FADER. Production credits include Jack Antonoff and Alex G. Studio photos from May 2026 also showed Matty Healy and Bo Burnham in the recording space, Paste Magazine noted. No official tracklist has been released yet.
MSG for a Dollar: How Bridgers Built Buzz Without Social Media
Bridgers began the rollout in early May with unannounced pop-up shows in small cities like Roswell, New Mexico and Memphis, The FADER reports. Then came a June 4 show at Madison Square Garden. Tickets cost between $1 and $20 and were handed out by random lottery. She debuted new songs and joked to the crowd: "If any of you figured out how to stick an Apple Watch up your ass and record, please don't put it on the internet," according to Paste Magazine.
The MSG show was phone-free. Fans had to lock their devices in Yondr pouches — sealed bags that can only be opened at special stations. The Lost Tour will use the same policy at all venues. Early attendees of the pop-up shows called the experience "refreshing" and "fully immersive," The FADER reports.
Alex G Opens North America, Isaac Wood Takes Europe
The Lost Tour opens September 15 in Indianapolis and wraps the North American leg November 1 in Inglewood, CA, according to Billboard. Alex G — who also co-produced the album — is the support act for all North American dates. A 14-date European leg follows, with Isaac Wood, former frontman of Black Country, New Road, opening those shows.
Anaïs also joins the European leg as a supporting act, The FADER notes. Most North American and UK dates sold out within hours of the general on-sale on June 12. Three nights at the Intuit Dome and a run at The O2 in London are among the confirmed stops, signaling a major leap from Bridgers' *Punisher*-era touring scale.
Dollar Per Ticket Goes to RAINN as Tour Adds Charitable Pledge
For every North American ticket sold, $1 goes to RAINN, the anti-sexual violence nonprofit, according to Paste Magazine. Given the arena-scale of the tour, the pledge is projected to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. Select shows will also donate to the Community Justice Exchange, The FADER reports.
The album title itself carries cultural weight. *Lost Weekend* is widely speculated to reference John Lennon's 18-month estrangement from Yoko Ono between 1973 and 1975. Bridgers has referenced Lennon before — including in her song "Moon Song" — making the nod feel deliberate, Paste Magazine notes.
