PHOTOS: Samia – Chicago, IL – 6/2/2025

 

Samia is having another major year. The indie pop performer is in the final days of the first leg supporting her 2025 tour dates, selling out clubs and concert halls from London to Toronto to New York. On Monday night, she played to a packed room of fans at Chicago’s historic Thalia Hall. She’ll play the same room again Tuesday, but tickets are sold-out to see the popular artist, who released her critically acclaimed third studio album Bloodless in spring 2025. Keep reading to view the final dates for this leg of the tour, plus see a list of North American cities Samia is scheduled to perform in later this year.

What makes Samia’s concerts one of the hottest tickets in pop music this year? It could be the intimacy of her straightforward, relatable lyrics combined with her trademark theatrical vocal delivery. Maybe it’s the adored quirkiness of her stage presence, highlighted by lawn chairs and beach coolers placed on stage. Perhaps it’s all of the above.

Those who are fortunate enough to see Samia often get more than their money’s worth. At Thalia Hall, several fans in the front row shared that they purchased VIP tickets to the show. That package included a special early entry, an acoustic set from Samia herself, and a Q&A session with the artist. “I can’t believe she answered my question,” one fan pressed on the barricade told another. “This is the best night ever.”

The best night ever goes something like this: Samia’s dear musical friend and Peach Fuzz bandmate Raffaella performs an exciting support act set of whimsical pop, filled with dancing and splits before walking off stage to a guitar solo. When the lights come back on, Samia and her band walk on stage while color changing LED bulbs illuminate. She proceeds to perform hits from her latest and greatest record Bloodless, along with other staples, including popular songs from her 2023 hit album Honey. From start to finish, it’s an uplifting night for many people. It’s hard to imagine anyone would be anything other than thrilled to see this performance.

Samia’s current run of North American tour dates finishes up this June. She’ll take a short break before hosting more shows in cities across the continent in September and October. Purchase tickets for all of Samia’s upcoming shows at this link.
