A ‘MIDWEST PRINCESS’ PREPARES FOR SOLD OUT TOUR: CHAPPELL ROAN IS COMING TO MANCHESTER!
By Bella Proudfoot
Catapulting to stardom throughout 2023 and 2024, Chappell Roan has quickly become one of the most recognisable new voices in pop music; following a monumental, suspected record-breaking performance at Lollapalooza, Roan is currently gearing up for her highly anticipated ‘Midwest Princess‘ EU/UK tour which takes her across six cities in two weeks. The Midwest Princess is set to take to stages across the UK starting off at Manchester Academy on the 13th of September followed by shows in Glasgow, Dublin and three nights at London’s Brixton Academy. If you were lucky enough to have snagged a ticket, you can expect a once-in-a-lifetime concert fueled by Roan’s signature blend of high-energy dance numbers and raw, stripped-back ballads that showcase her full range vocal talent.
Roan is known for her theatrical, outrageously confident stage presence, emotional storytelling and unapologetic lyrics; but beyond the music, Chappell’s concerts have become become safe spaces for fans to express themselves freely and stand as beacons of celebrations for individuality and inclusivity. The Midwest Princess tour promises a setlist to compliment exactly these values, “Pink Pony Club“, “Naked In Manhattan“, and of course, the TikTok sensation: “Hot To Go” are just a few of the anticipated anthems fans await to dance along to amid the infamous energy and intimacy Roan creates at her shows.

Roan is a fast-emerging legend in the making for the pop music landscape and her ticket sales reflect just that, having sold out this tour within minutes; scalpers and resellers continent-wide are pushing the boundaries on a level that resembles that of Taylor Swift tickets on just how much fans would pay for a chance to have their moment with the princess. Tour tickets priced at face value went on sale in March 2024 and were available between a respectable £20-80, though disheartened fans have since watched in despair as resale websites increase their prices daily with the only available tickets priced between £600-2,000, a sad but inevitable certainty of such a sought after, fast rising and multi-faceted artist. If you were one of the unfortunate people who missed out on tickets for this tour (myself included), try not to get too down – while I’m sure the tour will be incredible for those in attendance, the trajectory of Roan’s career showing no signs of slowing down and it’s only a matter of time before the midwest princess goes from the Academy to the Arenas.
