Madison Beer brings the locket tour to Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh on July 5, 2026, continuing a touring cycle that reflects her steady transition from internet-era pop visibility into a fully realized, album-driven career. Critics tend to frame Beer’s work as modern pop with strong R&B and alt-pop influence—vocal-forward, emotionally direct, and built around controlled production rather than spectacle. The tour spans North America with select international dates, mirroring her growing global audience. Her recent releases, including material following Silence Between Songs, lean into restraint and cohesion, favoring mood and lyrical clarity over trend-chasing. Beer’s accolades include charting singles, industry recognition for vocal performance, and a reputation for creative autonomy uncommon in her lane. She has also been open and active in conversations around mental health, using her platform to support awareness initiatives tied to youth well-being. Official site: https://www.madisonbeer.com

thuy supports the run with a set grounded in contemporary R&B and pop-soul, often described by critics as intimate, melodic, and rhythmically understated. thuy’s rise has been built through streaming traction and a strong connection to listeners drawn to subtle songwriting and low-gloss production. Her latest releases continue that trajectory, focusing on emotional immediacy and clean arrangements that translate effectively in live settings. As part of the locket tour, her appearances across major U.S. cities and select overseas markets reflect an artist expanding beyond digital-first success into consistent touring visibility. While still early in her career arc, thuy has earned recognition for her songwriting voice and has aligned herself with causes supporting representation and mental health within the creative community.

Lulu Simon opens the evening with a pop set rooted in singer-songwriter tradition, shaped by narrative lyrics and a minimalist approach that critics often describe as confessional without being theatrical. Her recent recordings emphasize clarity and personal perspective, favoring direct songwriting over production-heavy framing. Touring in support of the locket tour places Simon in front of amphitheater audiences across the U.S., adding scale to a catalog built on intimacy. Though not yet widely decorated with major awards, she has earned attention for her disciplined writing and measured live delivery, positioning her as an artist focused on longevity rather than immediacy. Simon has also participated in charitable efforts tied to youth advocacy and creative education. Official site: https://www.lulusimonmusic.com
