Beabadoobee Announces Album Pylon and First Arena Tour
The British-Filipina star unveiled her fourth album for September 18 and single Sun Has Set, plus her first arena shows across North America, the UK and Europe.
- On June 24, Beabadoobee announced her fourth album, Pylon, due out on September 18.
- Lead single Sun Has Set leans into a heavier grunge sound, with guests Hayley Williams, Brendan Yates and Chino Moreno appearing on the record.
- She also revealed The Powerlines Tour, her first arena shows, with more than 20 dates across North America, the UK and Europe.
Beabadoobee announced her fourth studio album, titled Pylon, on June 24, 2026, with a release date set for September 18. The British-Filipina singer, whose real name is Beatrice Laus, also shared the lead single Sun Has Set, a track that openly signals a turn toward a heavier, grunge-leaning sound.
The album arrives via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records, and the first single alone makes clear that Beabadoobee has stepped away from the softer, lo-fi territory that first made her name. The title Pylon, a reference to the electricity towers that line major roads, reportedly symbolizes her connection to friends and family back home while she endured isolation on long tours over the past few years.
The guest list reads like a wish list for any fan of the alternative scene. Hayley Williams of Paramore, Brendan Yates of Turnstile and Chino Moreno of Deftones all appear on the record. Production comes from Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975, who are also labelmates, which helps explain the raw, guitar-forward character of the new material.
Why is this album a turning point for her?
For a singer who launched her career by posting short clips online, the move into arenas is an enormous leap. Pylon is being billed as her boldest release to date, sonically much closer to classic 1990s rock than anything her audience is used to hearing. Collaborating with names like Deftones and Turnstile clearly shows where she wants to push her sound.
The heavier production is no accident. Beabadoobee has spoken for years about how the studio became a place where she experiments without fear, and bringing together such a varied cast of guests proves she is ready to move past the formula that produced her early hits. In that sense, Sun Has Set is a statement of intent, not just a lead single.
What does the tour that comes with it look like?
Alongside the album, she revealed The Powerlines Tour, which features Beabadoobee’s first-ever arena performances. The trek kicks off on October 1 in Connecticut and takes in more than twenty dates across North America, the UK and Europe.
Two prestigious venues stand out among the stops. Beabadoobee will perform at New York’s Madison Square Garden, one of the most famous concert halls in the world, as well as London’s O2 Arena. For a performer who was playing smaller clubs just a few years ago, this is confirmation that she has grown into one of the biggest names of her generation.
Announcing the album and the tour on the same day was clearly a calculated move to prepare audiences for an entirely new phase. If Sun Has Set is an accurate picture of what comes next, Pylon could be the album that finally separates Beabadoobee from the internet-star label for good.
Will you give her new, heavier sound a chance, or do you prefer the softer Beabadoobee of her early career?
