Halsey Announces Hopeless Fountain Kingdom / World Tour The Final Installment
GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum songstress Halsey announces her 2018 summer world tour dates! All over the world, Halsey will be accompanied by a team of incredible, buzzing, accomplished female artists. In Australia & New Zealand, Bay Area hit maker Kehlani will be a special guest. In Latin America, Fifth Harmony’s Lauren Jauregui, featured on Halsey’s “Strangers,” will be supporting on her debut tour. Rising soul crooner Jessie Reyez will support Halsey on the North American leg, produced by Live Nation. Jakarta’s own emerging singer, Niki, will accompany Halsey on tour in Asia.
Tickets for the North American dates will go on sale to the general public beginning this Thursday, March 29 at 10am local time at LiveNation.com. Additional Pre-Sale / VIP / On Sale information can be found at HFKTOUR.COM.
Halsey will close the entire HOPELESS FOUNTAIN KINGDOM tour where it all started, in London. She’ll have support from ALMA, an electropop vocal powerhouse singer/songwriter, and London’s own RAYE, a young rhythmic popstar making waves in the UK music scene.
Halsey’s announcement comes hot-off-the-heels of her new single “Alone,” featuring the swaggering Big Sean and Island-trailblazer Stefflon Don. “Alone” surpassed 1 million streams on both Spotify and Apple Music in three days. In the US, “Alone” has been added to 90 Top 40 stations in its first week. Get the track HERE.
Halsey pushes creative boundaries expanding her influence and impact beyond music. High-end fashion retailer Yves Saint Laurent recently tapped her as a brand ambassador of YSL Beauté where she will help create and share makeup looks for the prestigious brand. She will also make her big screen debut as she joins the cast of the animated movie Teen Titans GO! as the voice of Wonder Woman—in theaters July 27. Also, GLAAD has nominated her for “Outstanding Music Artist.” Recently, Halsey spoke at the 2018 Women’s March advocating for equality. Her raw oration has been viewed millions of times and has moved people from around the world. Watch her speech HERE.
Halsey recently graced the stage of SNL with “Bad At Love“ and also performed with G-Eazy on their Bonnie and Clyde themed platinum-certified “Him & I” – a song which continues to dominate at #1 on Billboard’s Pop Songs Airplay Chart and #1 at Top 40 radio (marking the second #1 she features on since accompanying The Chainsmokers on “Closer”, which ruled radio at #1 for 11 weeks). In addition, her own two double-platinum-certified singles, “Bad At Love” and “Now Or Never” also peaked in the top 3 at Top 40 radio.

On November 10, 2024, the 12th Annual Young Atlanta Fashion Exhibition brought Georgia Tech’s Russ Chandler Stadium to life with a vibrant celebration of Black creativity and resilience. This year’s theme, “BlackBalled,” paid homage to the history of the Negro Baseball League while showcasing the fresh perspectives and talents of Atlanta’s youth and rising creatives. Founded in 2012 by Charles “HOLLYANDROO” Pabai (Executive Producer), Young Atlanta has been dedicated to uplifting the next generation, providing a platform for young talent in art, design, music, and fashion.
The night started with a moving rendition of “Lift Every Voice,” followed by an energetic performance from a local high school band and dancers from Jonesboro High School. Months of training led to the big night, as models worked tirelessly with professional coaches, including Antwain Donté, Chisom, and Carolyna, to perfect their runway walk and presence. The runway showcased collections from 18 designers, including standout pieces from the following: HOLLYANDROO, Karim Richie, Saber Brand, NBD Fashion, Teho, and House of Imah. Elaine Rodriguez (Project Manager, Model), serving as the night’s MC, captivated the crowd as she guided the audience through the event theme, broadcasted on the stadium’s big screen.

His vision to uplift Atlanta’s creative youth through fashion, art, and community shined brighter than ever, leaving a mark on everyone in attendance. This year’s event proved that Young Atlanta is not just an organization—it’s a movement that continues to inspire and empower the next generation of diverse voices.
