Shygirl Announces 2027 Full-Band Tour Behind Forthcoming Album Swallow!

By Tom Whitfield

Shygirl will launch her first full-band headlining tour on March 13, 2027, at Columbiahalle in Berlin. The run supports Swallow!, her forthcoming album due November 6 on Because Music, and her proper follow-up to 2023's Nymph.

The announcement, made alongside a new video today, lays out a schedule that moves through Europe and the UK in March, crosses to North America in April and May, and ends at Primavera Sound in Barcelona on June 3–5. A London date at the Royal Albert Hall on May 18 is the largest room on the itinerary.

Before the tour begins, Shygirl plays four festival and one-off dates: C2C Festival in Turin on October 29, Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavik on November 4, Mira Festival in Barcelona on November 6, and III Points Art Basel in Miami on December 4.

What does the tour change for Shygirl?

The full-band format marks the first time she headlines this way, per the announcement. Her previous Nymph cycle relied on the established club-and-festival circuit. The 2027 routing reaches mid-size theatres in Salt Lake City, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte, Silver Spring, Toronto, Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia — a broader American footprint than a DJ-and-vocal setup typically demands.

The Royal Albert Hall date is the clearest signal of scale. That venue holds audiences far beyond club capacity, and booking it for a first full-band tour is a wager on demand that the source does not quantify. No ticket prices, on-sale dates or support acts appear in the announcement.

The new video: 'Mantra'

Shygirl also released the video for "Mantra" today, shot at an outdoor rave. The announcement describes it as "a prequel to the clips for 'Alyse' and 'Lucky,'" the two singles that have led Swallow! so far — "Alyse" and "Lucky (Hymn)."

The source concedes the narrative thread is hard to parse, noting that following the overarching plot across the three clips has proved difficult. Take the prequel framing as the artist camp's word rather than a settled reading.
