Chappell Roan Announces Tour, Pledges $1 Per Ticket For Trans Youth

Chappell Roan, the Grammy-winning pop sensation, has confirmed a series of eight pop-up shows in the United States this fall as part of her ongoing “Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things” tour. The announcement was made July 24, 2025, sending waves of excitement through her rapidly growing fanbase and the wider LGBTQ+ community .

The brief, intimate run will take Roan to three cities of personal significance: New York City, Kansas City, and Los Angeles. Kicking off with four nights at Forest Hills Stadium in New York (September 20, 21, 23, and 24), the tour continues to Kansas City’s Museum & Memorial Park for two shows (October 3 and 4), and concludes with two performances at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California (October 10 and 11) .

In an announcement accompanying the tour dates, Roan shared that $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to organizations supporting transgender youth. Advocates and fans alike have praised the move as a concrete demonstration of allyship at a time when transgender young people face mounting legislative and social challenges across the United States .

The details of the recipient organizations are expected to be released closer to the start of the tour. The commitment underscores Roan’s continued advocacy for LGBTQ+ causes, building on her previous involvement with pride events, mental health initiatives, and campaigns for inclusive policies in the music industry.

Tickets for the highly anticipated tour are being distributed via a Fair AXS presale, designed to reduce scalping and increase access for genuine fans. Registration for the presale is open through Sunday, July 27, and those selected will receive a purchase link between August 5 and August 7, with a limit of four tickets per person . This system aims to prioritize real fans and minimize the impact of ticket resellers, a persistent issue for major concert events.

The pop-up nature of the shows—limited to just eight dates—has generated significant buzz, with music journalists predicting rapid sellouts and heightened demand .

Chappell Roan’s tour announcement comes amid a period of increasing visibility for queer and transgender artists in mainstream music. Known for her unapologetically queer lyrics and vibrant stage presence, Roan has used her platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and visibility. Her star-making turn at the 2024 Governors Ball and her decision to withdraw from the 2024 All Things Go Music Festival for health reasons only heightened anticipation for these new shows .

The artist’s choice to direct tour proceeds to transgender youth charities reflects a broader trend of musicians using their influence to support vulnerable members of the LGBTQ+ community. “It’s an inspiring example of what it means to be an ally—putting resources behind the rhetoric,” said a spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign, in response to the pledge .

Transgender youth in the U.S. continue to face significant challenges, from proposed legislation targeting gender-affirming care to social stigma and mental health disparities. Advocacy organizations have called on public figures, especially those in entertainment, to step up in support of trans youth during this critical time. Roan’s public commitment to charitable giving aligns with a growing movement within the music industry for artists to wield their influence and resources for positive change.

As the “Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things” tour approaches, fans and advocates alike will be watching for more details about the charities to be supported and additional initiatives Roan may introduce. With her blend of musical innovation and outspoken advocacy, Chappell Roan continues to set a high standard for LGBTQ+ representation and solidarity in pop music.

Tickets and registration details are available through the Fair AXS platform. Fans are encouraged to act quickly, as demand is expected to exceed supply for the limited run of shows .
