Tkay Maidza has announced a tour of North America in early 2024 – see the full list of dates below.
The Zimbabwean-Australian singer took to X to announce the upcoming dates.
Her American tour will see her perform in 19 venues between early February and March, beginning in Seattle, Washington on February 8, continuing through cities including Vancouver, New York and Austin, before concluding in Los Angeles, California on March 8. A full list of her ‘Sweet Justice’ North American tour dates can be seen below.
In addition to her tour announcement, Maidza has also released a new music video for ‘Won One’, a highlight from her sophomore album, ‘Sweet Justice’, which she released in early November. Directed by Munachi, the clip depicts Maidza performing the track against rain- and fire-themed backdrops.
‘Sweet Justice’ is the follow-up to Maidza’s ‘Last Year Was Weird’ trilogy of EPs, the last of which was released in July 2021. Later that year, she was nominated for two categories in the BandLab NME Awards 2022, namely, Best Australian Song for her collaboration with Baby Tate, ‘Kim’, and Best Australian Solo Act. At the ceremony, she took home the award for Best Australian Solo Act.
Since then, she has been releasing one-off singles and collaborations, including a remix of ‘Last Year Was Weird’ cut ‘High Beams’ which served as her third collaboration with JPEGMAFIA, and her festive track ‘Nights In December’. In July this year, she released her first collaboration with Australian electronic producer Flume, ‘Silent Assassin’.
‘Sweet Justice’ received a four-star rating from NME, with Kayleigh Watson praising Maidza’s eclectic range of styles, writing: “While not teasing her next chapter, in her quest for more, Maidza has crafted a collection of perfectly constructed songs that encapsulate her karmic truth: that living well is the best revenge.”
