Lucy Dacus has expanded the live run for her 2025 album, Forever Is a Feeling, announcing a string of theater dates and festival appearances across the U.S. and Canada from May through July, with a slot at San Francisco’s Outside Lands in early August. The tour also includes a charitable element: Dacus will donate one dollar from every ticket sold to groups that support young queer and trans people.
The schedule mixes intimate theater shows with larger festival stages, giving fans multiple ways to hear material from her most recent record. The donation pledge, made in partnership with the Ally Coalition, brings an explicit social purpose to the run and points to continued artist-led activism in live music.
On the last tour Dacus became known for a spontaneous gesture — she officiated several fans’ weddings onstage — a reminder that her concerts often blend performance with personal connection. Her earlier work, including the 2021 album Home Video, has also drawn critical notice and helped build a devoted audience ahead of this extended tour.
Why this matters now
Beyond new shows, the pledge to give a dollar per ticket translates into steady, predictable support for youth-serving LGBTQ+ organizations — and it signals to venues and peers that artists can incorporate direct fundraising into touring plans. For fans, it offers a simple way to contribute while attending a live event.
