Doja Cat's ‘The Scarlet Tour’ Is Taking Over US Arenas This Fall
And Ice Spice & Doechii are invited.
As Doja Cat states on her latest single “Attention”: “I coulda been an opener, I redirect the bookin’.” That’s in reference to The Weeknd’s massive 2022 After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour, which Doja Cat was scheduled to open, but later pulled out of to recover from tonsil surgery (or so she said). And just like that lyric, she’s redirected her bookings to announce her own massive headlining tour: The Scarlet Tour, where she will play her first-ever arena shows across the U.S. this fall.
This announcement has been a long time coming for fans, who over the last few years have only been able to experience the pop star live in festival settings or during awards show broadcasts, largely because she skyrocketed to fame during the pandemic. But those stages can barely be considered training grounds for the size and scale of the shows she has coming up.
On the Scarlet Tour, which runs from the end of October through early December, Doja Cat will take over iconic arenas like Los Angeles’ Crypto.com arena, Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, and more, which will have audience capacities of around 15,000. Compare that to her sole other headlining tour, the Amala Tour in 2018, where she played rooms of a few hundred to max 1,000 people — and one can see how high her star has climbed since then.
The Scarlet Tour will likely be in support of her new album, tentatively titled First of All and expected to drop sometime this year — probably before the kickoff date of October 31. From “Attention” alone, it’s already shaping up to mark a fierce new chapter for the pop star — one that will surely meet the expectations of those arena stages.
