You heard it here first: this month, Best Dance/Pop Recording Grammy nominee, Zara Larsson, is finally hitting the U.S. leg of her Midnight Sun tour! With wild success at previous stops across Europe throughout 2025, fans, new and old, are thrilled to see the singer grace venues throughout the United States (and one in Canada) as she continues to hit more stages this year. So pull out your hibiscus flowers and gear up for the never-ending midnight sun coming your way with the icon’s biggest tour thus far!

Who is Zara Larsson? 

Zara Larsson has always been around and has always been a force to be reckoned with. A more than familiar face, the star first began her journey as the season 2 breakout winner of Talang, Sweden’s ‘Got Talent’ program, at just 10 years old. Since then, Larsson has emerged as an artist with hit after hit, standing firm in pop culture and music spaces even years after their initial releases. Larsson’s mark has undeniably been left on the pop scene, and she now offers the ultimate summer bombshell experience with the release of her 2025 album ‘Midnight Sun,’ summer personified through the track list and playful aesthetic. 

Where is she going to be? 

The tour is planned to set off at the Crystal Ball venue in Portland, Oregon, and progress around other notable locations, with multiple show dates in California in major cities like Los Angeles and Oakland, before making headway to other cities with shows in Phoenix, Arizona and Salt Lake City, Utah. Larsson will end her U.S. run in April of this year with numerous stops across the country, like Washington, D.C., and Houston, Texas, to name a few. 

Things to keep an eye out for:

The ‘Lush Life’ dance trend is where Larsson extends the song’s original bridge, accompanied by a lighthearted, choreographed routine that not only highlights the energy that the shows encompass but also amplifies it. Larsson has routinely invited a lucky audience member to the stage to participate in the fun, resulting in praise from the online community for this fun, inclusive segment. 

Surprise guest artists are also known to take the stage, like British singer PinkPantheress and producer/artist MNEK, to perform their own collaborations with the Swedish pop star. Former concertgoers have shared their own snapshots and clips, generating even more excitement at the potential additions to come. 

Larsson does not only stick to her most recent projects, but also performs older songs like 2015’s ‘Never Forget You,’ 2016’s ‘Ain’t My Fault,’ and 2018’s ‘Ruin My Life’ as tracks included in her setlist, taking fans back with powerful performances. Larsson even includes a rendition of her 2017 song ‘Symphony,’ which captured TikTok’s attention in the summer of 2024.

Zara Larsson is providing exactly what the internet is craving: a world within the artists they follow, something that they can align themselves with. Sure, a catchy song is helpful, but what online communities wish for is the storyline attached. With significant awards, nominations, and timeless singles, Larsson has the momentum and is taking charge while manifesting summer fun, love and heartache no matter the season.
