Sophia Stel announces a 2027 US, UK and Europe tour behind her A24 debut ‘the greatest album of all time’
Sophia Stel is not doing modesty. The Canadian alt-pop riser has announced “the greatest tour of all time,” a 2027 run across North America, the UK, and Europe in support of her debut album, which she has titled, with the same straight face, the greatest album of all time. The record arrived October 16 via A24 Music, and the tour turns a breakout year into a global victory lap. Tickets went to presale October 27, with general sale following October 30.
The grandiosity is the joke, and also kind of the point. Stel makes music that blends trip-hop haze with hyperpop sugar, a sound built on knowing excess, so naming your debut the greatest album of all time reads less like arrogance than like a wink. It is the confidence of an artist who understands exactly how online her generation’s irony runs, and who is happy to play along while quietly meaning it.
The Dates
The 2027 itinerary opens in Europe before swinging back across the Atlantic. Stel plays Berlin’s Silent Green on February 9, Paris’ La Gaîté Lyrique on February 11, and Amsterdam’s Bitterzoet on February 14, with a London date set for February 18 at a venue still to be confirmed. From there the North American leg runs through Canada and the US West Coast, hitting Calgary on February 26 and Edmonton on February 27, then Montreal on March 4 and Toronto’s The Mod Club on March 5.
The West Coast stretch follows in mid-March, with a Los Angeles show on March 11 (venue TBD), San Francisco’s The Independent on March 16, Portland’s Holocene on March 18, and Seattle’s Neumos on March 19. She is also confirmed for Primavera Sound Barcelona in early June, capping the run on one of the most tastemaking festival stages in the world.
The venues tell their own story. These are clubs and midsize rooms, the Independents and Holocenes and Mod Clubs of the touring circuit, which means the “greatest tour of all time” branding is running well ahead of the room sizes. That gap is the fun of it. Catching an artist in these spaces, right before the rooms get bigger, is exactly the kind of moment the title is daring you not to miss.
A Breakout Built on More Than Music
Stel did not arrive from nowhere. Over the past two years she has stacked the kind of cosigns that signal an industry betting early. She was named to NME’s 100 Essential Emerging Artists for 2025, opened for A. G. Cook, and supported Lorde on the Ultrasound World Tour in May 2026, the sort of slot that puts a new name in front of a devoted, discerning crowd. Her reach extends past the stage, too, with a runway debut at Ann Demeulemeester’s SS26 show during Paris Fashion Week folding her into fashion’s conversation as much as music’s.
The A24 connection sharpens the picture. The studio-turned-tastemaker has spent recent years extending its prestige-indie sensibility into music, and signing an artist like Stel, genre-fluid, visually literate, and extremely of-the-moment, fits that project neatly. For a debut album, launching under that banner is its own kind of statement about the company she is meant to keep.
The tour caps a packed calendar. Before the 2027 dates even begin, Stel has 2026 shows in New York, London, and Los Angeles, plus Primavera appearances in Argentina and Brazil and a December swing through Australia. It is an aggressive, globe-spanning schedule for an artist on her first album, and it suggests a team that sees the window and intends to use it. The greatest tour of all time is, at the very least, a very busy one. It kicks off in Europe this February.
