Robyn is an international Swedish pop singer and songwriter who became popular during the late 1990s with such songs as “Show Me Love” and “Do You Know (What It Takes). Robyn did not release music for a few years starting from mid 2000s but she returned in 2010 with the album Body Talk which was received well by the critics. Since then, fans have been looking forward to the next time the singer would go back on touring to perform for her fans.
Is it possible for Robyn to Perform on the Tour Again?
Robyn has not been on tour for more than a decade. Her last major tour was called Robyn: This concert is called Robyn Live in Concert and was held in 2007-2008 in support of her album called Robyn. That tour was a series of shows across Europe and a couple of festival gigs in the United States. But she has not headlined a proper North American tour since her Coldplay-supporting trek in 2005.
Therefore, the question that is on the lips of every loyal listener of Robyn, the Swedish pop star is - when is she coming up with a new tour? There have been rumors for several years about tour dates for Robyn but they are yet to be released.
But there are reasons for optimism that a new Robyn concert tour has to be not too far away now.
Why We Could See a Robyn Tour shortly
There are only a few clues suggesting that Robyn is preparing for the release of a new tour in the near future. In January 2022, she changed her website to include 2022 tour dates for two European summer festivals. This gave the first hint that Robyn is finally serious about touring again and will do it as soon as possible.
At the same time, on September 22, 2022, Robyn was scheduled to perform as a headliner at the Primavera Sound Festival in California. This will be her first full-length concert in years and has surely created expectations for other tour dates.
Robyn has also been back in the studio the past few years putting together new music. In February 2022, she even recorded a new series of songs for the Swedish copyright agency with songs such as “Baby”, “ComeOnLetMeGo”, and “Up&Down”. With new music expected to be released in the future, it creates an ideal environment for the commencement of a 2023 arena concert tour.
Rumors have it that a new album is in the offing.
Those newly registered songs have given rise to speculations that other songs from Robyn are on the way as she is expected to release her first album since 2010. Although she has not been in the studio to produce a proper full-length record in over a decade, Robyn has given fans a couple more EPs and singles to listen to.
However, if she does release a new studio album in 2022 or 2023, it would definitely help in promoting the album release as well as announcing a long international concert tour shortly thereafter. New music would mean fans would have new songs to enjoy during the much-anticipated concerts that she has to offer.
Dreams of a Full Scale North American Tour
Older fans, however, know that Robyn has been performing live much more actively across the European continent than in North America. She has not had a true concert tour in the United States and Canada since as far back as 2005. Since then, American fans have only been able to see the band in a few special one-off festival performances.
However, the indications are that Robyn is considering a much bigger North American tour this time around. Given that she has been out recording and touring, there is immense expectation of her among the American audience as her break has now stretched over a decade. There will surely be massive interest to see Robyn back on tour again – headlining her run of shows across the United States rather than just two or three festivals.
The highly anticipated possibility of announcing a forthcoming world tour
Based on the duration and rarity of the Robyn tours, it would not be shocking to hear that she plans on doing an incredibly extensive world tour next. It is for this reason that few will doubt that European and North American dates will be the centerpiece to support new music.
However, with fans in every corner of the world eager to witness Robyn’s electrifying performances, high anticipation may mean the possibility of having announced dates practically in every city. It means potential stops no longer get added in South America, Australia, Japan, and potentially some spots in Africa when it’s all said and done. The potential audience for Robyn’s next tour could be the biggest she has ever seen due to more than a decade’s worth of pent-up demand around the world.
When Will the Tour Officially Get Announced?
Picking a concrete date or month to announce a Robyn tour is pretty much impossible. However, some educated guesses would suggest that the dates are getting confirmed no later than early 2023 if she wants to stage the actual concerts by next summer. Thus, even mentioning North American tour plans for Fall 2022 can be reasonable on the early side.
At the absolute latest though, Robyn should start to announce 2023 tour dates by early winter 2022. It provides the fans with adequate time to begin saving for the tickets and transport while giving the artist enough time to secure all the venues, arrange all the logistics well, market the tour effectively, and everything else that comes with a world tour.
The Reality: The prospect of a 2023 tour appears inevitable
Considering all of the signals that new Robyn music will be released in 2022, it is probable that the 2023 concert tour is going to happen. Her live show at Primavera Sound is planned for September 2022. With whispers of new songs possibly dropping in the preceding months, it creates the perfect backdrop for announcing a 2023 tour next.
It will be quite surprising if the bigger-scale tour plans do not materialize by the end of the year or early 2023 at the latest. Robyn knows how much people love her all over the world. It is high time now that she is in her 40s to fulfill the expectations of fans who have waited for more than a decade to see her live.
A tour announcement may only be possible if she completes her next album and is ready to go on tour. But with newly registered songs making that process well underway, fans can hopefully expect the Robyn 2023 tour news to be announced shortly.
