More than a year on from their last live performances, Canadian musician Cindy Lee has announced a short run of North American tour dates.<\/p>\n
Lee (the musical moniker of Patrick Flegel) had initially announced an extensive run of tour dates throughout April and May 2024 in support of their breakthrough album, Diamond Jubilee<\/em>.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Described as the \u201clast American tour\u201d for the enigmatic artist, the latter half of the planned run was called off for undisclosed personal reasons within the touring party.<\/p>\n Now after more than a year of silence, new dates have been added to the artist\u2019s schedule with shows in Chicago, Toronto, Montreal and New York City planned for early November.<\/p>\n Freak Heat Waves, who had previously performed on Lee\u2019s 2024 tour, will open all dates except for Toronto, where Blue Light will start proceedings.<\/p>\n Flegel\u2019s Cindy Lee project first rose to prominence in 2020 following the release of What\u2019s Tonight to Eternity?<\/em>, and later gained widespread acclaim thanks to 2024\u2019s mysterious Diamond Jubilee<\/em> album.<\/p>\n Promoted with little fanfare, the album was purposely absent from streaming services (save for a YouTube upload<\/a> of the record), with a typically-awkward Geocities site<\/a> serving as the main point of digital distribution for the two-hour long triple LP. Regardless, reviews were extremely positive and the album was ultimately shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize.<\/p>\n \u201cThe buzz around Diamond Jubilee<\/em> indicates both the beauty of the album itself and a broader excitement at the possibility that branding and endless self-promotion aren\u2019t everything,\u201d wrote Rosie Long Decter for Billboard Canada<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIn a period where artists and labels are struggling to figure out how to break through the online noise, it\u2019s refreshing to see an artist so whole-heartedly reject the imperatives of the streaming economy, and to see that artist lauded, instead of chided.\u201d<\/p>\n Cindy Lee \u2013 2025 Tour Dates<\/strong><\/p>\n Nov. 5 \u2013 Empty Bottle, Chicago, IL Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
