Background

edit

Weyes Blood's fifth studio album, titled And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow, was announced on social media on September 12, 2022; in parallel, she released its lead single, "It's Not Just Me, It's Everybody", and also announced that she would embark on her second concert tour, In Holy Flux Tour.[1] She revealed the tour dates, locations, and venues for 29 shows in North America and 14 shows in Europe.[2][3] On January 26, 2023, the artist confirmed that American singer Sam Burton would be the special guest for the European leg.[4]

On March 6, 2023, Weyes Blood announced the third and fourth leg of the concert tour, subtitled "Unleashed" and "the Resurrection", respectively.[5] In selected dates of the former, she was an opening act for American musician Beck and French band Phoenix, as part of their co-headlining Summer Odyssey Tour.[6] In April 2023, she announced the "New Dawn" leg of the In Holy Flux Tour, which would be embarking in New Zealand and Australia.[7] Jack Ladder, Lost Animal, and Nicholas Allbrook served as opening acts.[8][9] A visual collage directed by photographer Neelam Khan Vela with scenes of the tour was released as the music video for the track "Hearts Aglow" on August 9, 2023.[10]
