Just two weeks after releasing “Hit the Wall,” Gracie Abrams — everyone’s favorite sad-girl pop star — announced her highly anticipated arena tour, hitting 37 dates in North America and 27 dates in Europe at the end of this year and into 2027.
Five months after the release of her upcoming third album Daughter From Hell (July 17), the Look at My Life Tour will begin at Denver’s Ball Arena in December, kicking off the singer’s largest run of headline shows to date.
Abrams has been touring her music for years, getting a major push after opening for Taylor Swift on her monumental Eras Tour a few years prior. The Los-Angeles-born singer knows the importance of opening acts, and social media talk this past weekend has shown she picked the perfect group of talented young performers to join her on the road.
The Japanese House, Grace Ives, Rachel Chinouriri, Del Water Gap, Jensen McRae, Charlotte Lawrence, Holly Humberstone, Bella Kay, Samia and Jake Minch make up the talented, yet lethal combination of acts that are preparing to warm up Abrams’ bound-to-be-sold-out world tour.
While you make plans with friends to fight for those floor tickets, use this as your guide to everything about the Look at My Life Tour opening acts.
THE JAPANESE HOUSE
Amber Bain — known professionally as The Japanese House — has spent more than a decade crafting her music in a way that is introspective, yet shining. Her lyrics fuel passion, both in terms of vulnerability and strength, and make The Japanese House a stand-out indie act.
In the beginning, there was speculation on who was behind Bain’s brilliant 2015 hit “Still,” some thinking The Japanese House was originally the side project of The 1975’s Matty Healy.
Since then, Bain has truly made a name for herself as an artist who has cleverly tapped into the art of unique and raw songwriting; anyone could recognize her voice anywhere. Bain is no stranger to large crowds, touring her own music for years, hitting huge festivals along the way and even opening for Lorde on her Ultrasound World Tour last year.
With Abrams, you can catch The Japanese House at four dates in Brooklyn, New York, next March.

GRACE IVES
Donning her iconic pink hair and free-spirited nature, Grace Ives is bound to be the next big thing. Next year is already gearing up to be a huge year for the pop sensation, opening for both Olivia Rodrigo and Abrams just mere months apart.
Ives dropped album Girlfriend last year, which was met with high praise for her ability to create a concoction of vulnerably-specific lyrics with a splash of addicting pop melodies created to get stuck in your head.
She is currently embarking on a run of shows in Europe, then will play a few festivals (All Things Go, Corona Capital) before linking up with Abrams in February for shows in Toronto, Atlanta, Charlotte and Boston.

RACHEL CHINOURIRI
Rachel Chinouriri is another golden pop girl that is dominating the scene, especially after opening for Sabrina Carpenter on her Short n’ Sweet tour last year.
The London-based indie singer-songwriter brings a sort of cheerful warmth to everyone she graces, even if her songs are laced with melancholy heartbreak and self-reflection.
Her most recent album What A Devastating Turn of Events dropped in the spring of 2024, with EP Little House following in November 2025. Chinouriri excels at writing songs that connect with many while still remaining personal, which is why her social media presence is so important to herself and her fans, and is what makes her a great fit for the Look at My Life Tour.
Chinouriri will be kicking off Abrams’ tour with her, performing in Denver, Oakland, Glendale and one date in Los Angeles this December.

DEL WATER GAP
Del Water Gap, fresh off his new album Chasing The Chimera and its following tour, has been on the up ever since his break-out song “Ode to a Conversation Stuck in Your Throat” hit streaming services in 2020.
Samuel Holden Jaffe, the genius behind Del Water Gap, has three albums under his belt, each growing better than the previous, both in terms of lyrical ability and overall sound. “How to Live,” the lead single off of his recent album, made it to the charts, getting consistent radio play on Sirius XM’s Alt Nation.
Having experience opening for Niall Horan and Halsey on their respective 2024 tours, Jaffe is ready to take on Abrams’ arena tour with ease, making stops in Seattle and Portland for five shows in January and February.

JENSEN MCRAE
Jensen McRae is one of the best songwriters to come out of the TikTok virality waves. Her song “Massachusetts” has nearly 10 million streams on Spotify, which comes after her millions upon millions of social media views when she was first conceptualizing the song and its title.
A TikTok frenzy followed, which thousands commenting their thoughts on what the song should be titled, as well as writing their own versions of the song from other perspectives. McRae eventually settled on “Massachusetts,” which became the closing track on her 2025 album I Don’t Know How But They Found Me!.
McRae’s talent and rise to fame even earned the artist a slot on Noah Kahan’s 2024 North American tour where she was able to sing her songs live to thousands.
Carrying this sentiment, McRae will join Abrams on the Look at My Life Tour in Philadelphia for two shows in March of next year.

CHARLOTTE LAWRENCE
Raised in Los Angeles, Charlotte Lawrence doesn’t do things partially; she goes all in. A singer, songwriter, actress and model, Lawrence can do it all with ease.
She released album Somewhere in 2025 — which has been dubbed a “pop revelation” — and followed up a few months later with a live version of the album filmed at The Roxy. Lawrence’s writing in Somewhere masterfully dove into emotional vulnerability while still remaining its core in pop — something that will mesh well with fans of Abrams.
Between creating new music, preparing for tours and acting in Bad Monkey season two, Lawrence is proving to the world she is an unstoppable force worth everyone’s attention.
You can catch the star with Abrams in Chicago and Nashville next Febraury.

HOLLY HUMBERSTONE
After her family set out to sell Holly Humberstone’s childhood home, she looked through everything that made up her early years; items from CDs to jewelry. Memories came flooding in, resulting in the singer’s latest album Cruel World, released in April.
Growing up in England, Humberstone has carved a space for herself in the indie/bedroom pop sphere, where she excels with her expressive and introspective songwriting. The singer has even had songs featured in Netflix’s Heartstopper as well as Amazon’s We Were Liars.
Humberstone is currently embarking on a headline tour supporting Cruel World, which is the perfect warm-up before her three shows with Abrams in Los Angeles this winter.

BELLA KAY
Bella Kay, the 20-year-old rising pop artist, caught the world’s attention last summer with song “The Sick,” letting everyone in on her emotionally-charged songwriting abilities and raw, talented vocals.
While she started making music in the 2020-era of bedroom pop, Kay soon realized the fun she had while writing, and began uploading her songs to TikTok. Kay blew up on social media, and “The Sick” later found itself on EP sick to my stomach.
Kay has not wasted any time in 2026, releasing song after song to let listeners know she isn’t going anywhere.
Before opening for Abrams’ Look at My Life Tour Washington, D.C. and Montreal in March, she is playing numerous shows this summer, including Lollapalooza.

SAMIA
Indie pop-rock artist Samia just released her third album last year, and it’s easily her best and most complex. Bloodless blends femininity and self-sacrifice in a way that helps listeners discover who they truly are inside, while putting these themes over sounds of folk, synth and soft guitars. Listeners are siren-songed by her crisp vocals.
Samia Finnerty has been making music for nearly a decade at this point, knowing how to craft a poignant tune of genius head-turning lyrics. She’s written for many artists, and has even toured with longtime friend Kahan on his 2023 Stick Season tour.
Fresh off of Coachella, Samia will join Abrams on 16 dates across the U.K, Ireland and France.

JAKE MINCH
Jake Minch, a 23-year-old singer, is leading the Gen-Z pack in terms of his songwriting and musical abilities, already a promising songwriter making music that feels raw and poetic.
A 13-track album, George dropped in 2025 and left a lasting impression through its carefully constructed and beautifully written themes of grief, heartbreak and suicide.
While Minch’s songwriting is often compared to poems, this ideal is actually not far off. In an interview, the young songwriter said when he sets out to write songs, he takes lines already in his notes app and turns them into stanzas, which later — when paired with a guitar — turn into the stunning melodies we hear today.
Minch has toured with fellow opener Humberstone already, and is ready to tackle the other 11 dates in Europe with Abrams.
CRAVE’S PICKS: “Fingers and Clothes,” “handgun” & “jessie”
The world is anxiously awaiting more details about Abrams’ upcoming album Daughter from Hell, like the track list, any features and what else the singer has up her sleeve for the release.
For now, fans around the world are gearing up to join Abrams’ ticketing queue for the presale on Tuesday, June 2, counting down the days until they can shamelessly scream the famous “Sorry” from song “21” with a crowd full of thousands that get Abrams and her music the exact same way they do.
