Melanie Martinez concert chronology |
The Trilogy Tour was the fifth concert tour and first all-arena tour by American artist Melanie Martinez, launched in support of all three of her[a] studio albums, Cry Baby, K-12 and Portals.[1] Comprising fifty-three shows, the tour started on May 10, 2024, at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington, and concluded on November 16, 2024, at the Corona Capital festival in Mexico City, Mexico. Men I Trust, Beach Bunny, Sofia Isella, Elita and Lola Young served as opening acts.[2]
Background
[edit]On November 9, 2023, Martinez announced twenty-one dates across North America, near the conclusion of her The Portals Tour. Presale began on November 14, 2023 with the general sale going on sale on three days later.[3] On November 17, 2023, Martinez announced the addition of seven new shows to the tour, including a second show at Madison Square Garden in her home of New York City, due to "overwhelming demand" according to the official mailing list.[4] On March 21, 2024, Martinez announced nineteen European, with a presale on March 25, 2024, and a general sale on March 28.[5]
Critical reception
[edit]The tour was met with critical acclaim for the production, visuals, costumes and the general development of the entire tour.
Corey Ware of Breathe Pop magazine described the tour as "The nearly three-hour show, was as close to a Broadway production as it was to a pop tour."
Kat Sophia, from the Santa Barbara Independent at Melanie's show in Inglewood said: "Alt-Pop Star Chronicles Each Album of Her Discography in Nostalgia-Filled, Whimsical, Daring Show at Kia Forum"
Ed Mazley, from the AZCentral said: "The Trilogy Tour is an elaborate theatrical extravaganza as conceptually audacious as we'll likely see a major pop star manage in a massive sports arena until Melanie Martinez somehow figures out a way to top herself."
Jordi Bardají, from the Jenesai: pop "The show is an abundance of rarely seen costumes, makeup and sets. And what's rare is that not many pop artists commit so deeply to a childlike aesthetic, and then a teenager, to end up becoming a monster with four eyes and malformed ears, also telling the story of a life, of a girl who becomes an adult in the worst way"
Commercial performance
[edit]The Trilogy Tour was a commercial success, marking Martinez's transition from theater shows to large venues. After the initial tour announcement, tickets in more than twenty cities were completely sold out and reaching maximum capacity in these spaces within a few weeks. Due to high demand, six more dates were added to the tour with an additional performance at Madison Square Garden. Martinez's performances at the arena received an attendance of 28,903, becoming one of the only alternative female artists to have sold out Madison Square Garden more than once in a row. The North American leg grossed more than $38 million across twenty-seven shows, in addition to selling more than 300,000 tickets within the approximately two-month period.
During the European leg of the tour, Martinez performed the biggest show of her career with a sold-out attendance of over 22,000 at the Co-op Live in Manchester. On October 3, 2024, the singer was honored in the United Kingdom for having sold more than 50,000 tickets in four completely sold-out shows.
