Carly Rae Jepsen Announces Day And Night 2027 North American Tour With 26 Dates

Carly Rae Jepsen is packing her bags. The Canadian pop star has just announced the Day And Night 2027 North American Headline Tour, a coast-to-coast run of 26 shows kicking off in April 2027 in support of her eighth studio album, Day and Night — and honestly? It’s about time.

Fans have been waiting since The So Nice Tour wrapped back in 2023, and Jepsen rewarded their patience with the announcement on Thursday (October 1), sending her devoted fanbase — who have always treated her catalog with a devotion usually reserved for actual royalty — straight into a frenzy. The new tour will be her fifth headlining run, and it spans Canada and the United States over six weeks of spring shows.

A Tour Worth the Wait

The timing couldn’t be sweeter. Jepsen released Day and Night just last month to glowing reviews, and the album has already been hailed as another gem in a discography that critics can’t seem to stop revisiting. The 40-year-old “Run Away With Me” singer has built one of the most fascinating careers in modern pop: a household name to casual listeners thanks to one of the biggest songs of the 2010s, and an absolute cult icon to everyone else.

That’s the Jepsen paradox. She gave the world “Call Me Maybe” — a song so ubiquitous it once felt like it was legally required to play in every grocery store in America — and then spent the next decade quietly becoming the critical darling of pop music. While other artists of her era chased radio trends, Jepsen dug in and made Emotion, an album that somehow got better with every year that passed. These days, mentioning Emotion in a room full of pop fans is basically a secret handshake.

The Day And Night tour marks her first major North American trek in four years, and the setlist is going to be a dream for longtime listeners. Between eight albums of material, fans can expect the big ones — “Call Me Maybe,” “I Really Like You,” “Run Away With Me” — alongside deep cuts from the new record and everything in between. Anyone who’s seen Jepsen live before knows she doesn’t do a half-hearted show. By the third song the whole room is half-shouting the words back at her — she bounces around the stage like she’s as thrilled to be there as everyone in the cheap seats. It rubs off on you. By the end of the night you’re hugging a stranger and hoarse in the best way.

Two stops jump out. Madison Square Garden — the Garden! — which for a Canadian Idol third-placer is honestly kind of a miracle. Ten years ago nobody would have bet on this. And Red Rocks in Colorado, those giant slabs of red rock with nothing but sky above. Her sparkly synth-pop bouncing off that place on a spring night? Going to be unreal.

The Canadian dates are a homecoming, too. Jepsen hails from Mission, British Columbia, and Canadian fans have always held a particular claim on her — they watched her rise through Canadian Idol long before the rest of the world caught on, and they’ve never let her forget it. She won’t either.

How to Score Tickets

If you’re planning to be there — and let’s be real, you should be — here’s the breakdown on getting seats. There are a few different on-sale windows, so pay attention:

Details vary by package and are available through VIP Nation. For a fanbase as devoted as hers, those packages are going to move fast.

From Canadian Idol to Pop Royalty

It’s worth taking a beat to appreciate the arc here. Carly Rae Jepsen finished third on the fifth season of Canadian Idol back in 2007 — a respectable result, but hardly the kind of launch that predicts global stardom. Her first two albums did modestly in Canada. Then came 2012, and everything changed.

“Call Me Maybe” wasn’t just a hit; it was a cultural event. The song topped charts in 18 countries, sold around 18 million copies, earned Grammy nominations for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, and inspired what felt like a thousand viral parody videos. It made Jepsen an overnight global star — and set a trap that has caught countless one-hit wonders. The world expected her to fade. She had other plans.

Here’s what she did instead of fading: she just kept making great records. Kiss in 2012 — solid, did its job. Then Emotion in 2015, the one that made every pop nerd on the internet completely lose their minds. It somehow keeps getting better every time I revisit it, which is more than I can say for most albums from that era. Dedicated in 2019 held the line. The Loneliest Time in 2022, plus its companion The Loveliest Time in 2023, felt like an artist who’d stopped caring about charts entirely and was just having fun. Good for her.

And through all of it, she never got weird or distant. Ask any fan — she hangs around after shows, actually talks to people, remembers faces. A Jepsen concert feels less like a transaction and more like a party she invited you to. That kind of thing sticks. It’s why her tour announcement hits like actual news instead of just another routing email from Live Nation.

Broadway Beckons, Too

And — because apparently she’s allergic to sitting still — she’s got a whole Broadway project cooking too. She’s teaming up with writer Lena Dunham to turn the 1999 rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You (yes, the Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger one, the one we all watched way too many times in high school) into a stage musical. Big belty Jepsen pop songs in that world? I’m in.

On paper it’s a strange pairing — the Girls creator and the “Call Me Maybe” girl — but it honestly makes sense. Jepsen’s songs have always been a little theatrical anyway: big feelings, bigger choruses. Broadway basically exists for exactly that. New album, 26 shows, a musical — say what you want about chart positions, the woman from Mission, B.C. is booked and busy.

So yeah: presale signup by Sunday night, October 6 at 10am for the actual on-sale. Set the alarm. Find the friend who knows all the deep cuts. These are the shows people talk about for years.
