beabadoobee to launch The Powerlines Tour at Mohegan Sun25 June 2026(PRESS RELEASE) -- Yesterday, British alternative music icon beabadoobee announces her hugely anticipated new album Pylon, available to pre-order and pre-save now, and due for release on 18 September via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records, alongside details of The Powerlines Tour; her first-ever arena run, kicking off at 8:00pm Thursday, 1 October at Mohegan Sun Arena with special guest Wisp. Tickets to see the indie-pop star behind the hits “the way things go” and “Real Man” go on sale Thursday, 2 July via Ticketmaster, with fans also able to purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Friday, 3 July, while supplies last. The follow up to her UK number 1 album This Is How Tomorrow Moves, the stark and striking fourth album by beabadoobee is named for the electricity towers that dot every major artery in the world—the strong, spindly structures that reminded Beatrice Laus of her connection to friends and family at home while she was staring down extreme disconnection and isolation on tour over the past few years. The title can also be read as an allusion to Laus’ spiky, forceful new sound—the waves of distortion that crash and shatter across this record’s 14 songs mirroring the intense crackle you hear when walking under power lines. The pylon is also a fitting symbol for an album that reckons with the repetitive anxieties of your mid-twenties: What if I’m always going to be this way? What if life is just pylon after pylon on the road? The album’s first single is available to stream and buy from today: “Sun Has Set” introduces Pylon as, in essence, a set of songs that began as diary entries, words that Laus thought she’d never be able to say out loud. “A lot of the songs on this record are things I wish I could have said to someone,” she says. “This song has this petty tunnel vision—it’s like, I hate you. You’re gonna stay here and listen to how much I hate you. Because I never got to say that.” The single comes accompanied by a striking first-person video directed by Bea’s partner and longtime visual collaborator Jake Erland. Ever a devotee of pure Rock music—both as something to be cherished and something to be played with—Laus casts these feelings in songs that touch on classic grunge, midwest emo and ‘90s radio rock, zeroing in on a sound that is both harsher and more direct than any of her previous records. She says the music she’s loved has “always been an influence” on her music, and so for B4 she went straight to the source. A fair few of Beabadoobee’s composite influences contributed to Pylon, a fact that speaks to the goodwill and respect Laus has amassed over the course of her relatively brief career. Hayley Williams sings on “Nothing to Prove” a deeply anthemic indie-rock song about getting your power back from fair-weather friends who just want a bit of your success. The moody “Powerlines” features a verse from Turnstile singer Brendan Yates, a master of matching vocal force with emotional nuance. Elsewhere, you’ll find contributions from Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall, Deftones’ Chino Moreno, and Title Fight’s Shane Moran, as well as, on “Write Me A Letter”, production work from Laus’ longtime friends and collaborators Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975. |
