The singer-songwriter is preparing to release her fourth studio album and follow-up to 2024’s ‘This Is How Tomorrow Moves‘ on September 18 via Dirty Hit/Interscope, and you can pre-order it here.
She played at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado on Friday (August 7), bringing to an end a short run of US dates ahead of her huge arena world tour, which kicks off in October.
Four tracks from the new album made the setlist, including the two singles to date ‘Sun Has Set‘ and ‘Switchblade‘, and ‘Memories’, which made its fourth appearance at Red Rocks, and will be released on August 20.
Making its debut, however, was ‘Pylon’, which Beabadoobee played on acoustic guitar during her encore. “I’m really sorry if I fuck it up,” she told the crowd. “This is the first time I’m ever playing it.”

‘Pylon’ follows ‘This Is How Tomorrow Moves’ in 2024. In a four-star review, NME wrote: “A collection of songs that showcase the tangled feelings of this time, the young artist’s third record is a poignant, powerful thing.”
Earlier this year, she also teamed up with The Marías on the one-off single ‘All I Did Was Dream Of You’, which arrived with a video inspired by Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia, and covered Elliott Smith’s ‘Say Yes’ for the War Child compilation ‘Help(2)’.
