Santigold Announces The Holified Tour | North American Dates

Last week, art radical and multi-platform creative visionary Santigold announced her fourth album, Spirituals, due out September 9. Today, she has announced The Holified Tour with dates across North America this fall. Her tours are renowned not only for the adventurous setlists and performances, but also the integration of choreography, costuming, and other visual elements all painstakingly created and curated by Santi. The Holified Tour is an opportunity to experience the world of Spirituals in person. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 24 at 10am local in each city. Tickets information here, full dates below.

Santigold has shared two songs from Spirituals and their accompanying video shorts: “High Priestess” reimagining the sound of her influences to create a futuristic vision of punk and “Ain’t Ready”, a battle cry of resilience, perseverance, and stepping into your power featuring production from Illangelo. Dre Skull and Sbtrkt.

A fiercely innovative artist always looking to break from the limitations of the music business, Spirituals is the first Santigold album released on her own label Little Jerk Records and it will be distributed by Secretly Distribution. The album captures the feeling of surviving in the modern world while elevating yourself to new places. It was mostly recorded during the 2020 lockdown. It features producers and contributors: Rostam, Boys Noize, Dre Skull, P2J, Nick Zinner, SBTRKT, JakeOne, Illangelo, Doc McKinney, Psymun, Ricky Blaze, Lido, Ray Brady, and Ryan Olson.

Since her last full-length release, Santigold has also engaged new ways to express and release her ideas, allowing her greater range to be even truer to her creative intentions on her own terms. She created Spirituals as a multisensory experience that includes not only the music and video vignettes, but new ways of sharing her visual art, a forthcoming natural skincare line, and a tea; the products bearing the same brand name, Spirituals. She will also be releasing a new podcast in which she interviews other artists and visionaries around some of the same themes explored in her music. Santigold has other literary, film and product lines in the works as well.“I want to continue branching out into all forms of art,” she says. “And I’m really excited to let my music take me to new places.”

While taking yourself to new places is core to Santigold’s outlook at this point in her impressive career, she has always been an artist who has charted new paths in the world of pop music and beyond, breaking down barriers of genre along the way, further cementing her as an essential artist when surveying the last two decades of popular culture at large.
