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.

What do cowboy dicks, milk pistols, and public toilet walls have in common? They all find a strange kind of poetry in The Writing on the Stall, the wildly inventive musical comedy from US performer Caitlin Cook, landing in the UK this summer. After sold-out runs Off-Broadway, at Edinburgh Fringe, and in London, the New York Times Critic’s Pick returns for a short UK tour—playing Brighton’s Komedia (31 May & 1 June) and Soho Theatre, London (4–7 June).
Set entirely in a public bathroom, The Writing on the Stall is anything but private. In this whip-smart and wickedly funny one-woman musical, Cook dives into the scrawled messages and mysterious wisdom etched on cubicle walls and turns them into something bold, bizarre, and unexpectedly moving. The songs are catchy, the jokes are razor-sharp, and the show isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty—literally.
Armed with a guitar and a knack for digging gold out of the obscene, Cook crafts a genre-defying hour that’s part stand-up, part cabaret, and all catharsis. This is confessional comedy with clever hooks, pitch-perfect melodies, and enough surprises to keep your eyebrows permanently raised. Expect satire, sincerity, and some surreal props—rumour has it a pair of slingshotted knickers makes a cameo.
Caitlin Cook isn’t your average musical comic. She’s Oxford-educated, New York-hardened, and streaming in the tens of millions. She’s also collaborated with some of comedy’s finest, directed offbeat hits, and performs as one-half of the musical duo 2/3rds of a Threesome. With this new UK run, she’s not just touring a show—she’s building a movement that blurs the lines between comedy, theatre, and performance art.
If you missed her during her Edinburgh frenzy, this is your chance to catch the musical everyone’s been whispering about in pub toilets and shouting about in five-star reviews. You might come for the laughs, but you’ll stay for the songs that (fair warning) may live rent-free in your head for months.
Caitlin Cook: The Writing on the Stall
🗓️ Brighton Komedia: May 31 & June 1 at 2:30pm
🗓️ Soho Theatre, London: June 4–7 at 7:15pm
🎟️ Tickets available via venue websites:
