In the post, they expressed: “North America, we can’t get enough of you so we’re coming back in the fall with the #RebelHeartTour. We’re looking forward to returning to some of our favorite cities again and to exploring new places like Las Vegas and Albuquerque. The venues are epic and the opening acts are epic as well. For LA and San Fran, we will be graced by the presence of our hero M Ward. For the rest of the shows, one of our new favorite artists, the incredible Julia Jacklin, will be opening. It’s going to be really special. We can’t wait to get your rebel hearts beating with us!”
