Fresh from supporting Hilary Duff on an arena run that brought her to London's O2 earlier this month, Elly Jackson has announced that La Roux will headline across North America, Europe, and the UK in early 2027. Writing on social media, Jackson stated that she cannot wait to be back onstage and share the world of her upcoming fourth studio album in person.
That record, titled Old Flames, arrives on November 6. It marks her first full collection since 2020's Supervision, and it draws heavily from the aftermath of a 17-year relationship coming to an end. Rather than sidestepping the uncomfortable details, Jackson uses the project to examine forbidden love, the isolation tied to addiction, and the friction of working through identity and sexuality under public scrutiny. She has described the album as an exercise in telling things as they are. In her words, writing the songs became a necessary route toward recognizing her own past behavior, owning up to mistakes, and bidding farewell to old patterns in her life, her relationships, and her music. The songs also weave in visual and narrative cues drawn from Donnie Darko and David Lynch, balancing an unsettled nostalgia with an eye on the road ahead.
Listeners have already heard the opening dispatches through three preview singles, Lose Myself, Babyline, and Cabin Fever. For Jackson, the candid focus of the new material marks a distinct shift. She has spoken openly in the past about stepping away from music and the public eye after suffering a nervous breakdown. Transitioning from massive arenas back to dedicated headline rooms gives these introspective songs an immediate setting suited to their weight.
The 2027 tour starts in Canada on January 31 at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. From there, Jackson crosses into the United States for an extensive run through February. Her early stops include the Paradise Rock Club in Boston on February 2, the 9:30 Club in Washington DC on February 3, and Brooklyn Steel on February 5. She will head into the Midwest for dates at Chicago's Thalia Hall on February 9 and Minneapolis's Fine Line on February 10, before continuing west to the Gothic Theatre in Englewood on February 12 and The Depot in Salt Lake City on February 13.
The Pacific stretch begins at the Showbox in Seattle on February 15, moves to the Crystal Ballroom in Portland on February 16, and continues down the coast to California for concerts at The Belasco in Los Angeles on February 19 and The Castro in San Francisco on February 20. The North American leg concludes south of the border at Pabellon Oeste in Mexico City on February 25.
Jackson turns her attention to continental Europe at the start of March for a four-city run. She will visit Huxleys Neue Welt in Berlin on March 5, the Live Music Hall in Cologne on March 6, Melkweg OZ in Amsterdam on March 8, and Le Trianon in Paris on March 9. The final stretch brings her to the UK, opening at SWG3 TV Studio in Glasgow on March 19, followed by Manchester Academy 2 on March 20, the Trinity Centre in Bristol on March 23, and a homecoming finale at Electric Brixton in London on March 24.
Tickets are available on staggered schedules depending on territory. General sale passes for the North American dates become available on Wednesday, September 30 at 10 local time. General admission for the UK and European shows goes live on Friday, October 2, also at 10 local time. Fans who pre-ordered Old Flames before 3pm BST on Tuesday, September 29 were given early access through a dedicated regional pre-sale.
