Alt-pop former-Tumblr superstar Halsey is bringing the Back to Badlands Tour to Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom for two nights, Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9, 2025, marking a rare run of intimate shows in the city. This nostalgic series celebrates the 10th anniversary of her debut album Badlands, re-released in a deluxe edition this summer. 

The North American leg kicks off in mid-October and includes major cities on both coasts before landing in Chicago, then wrapping in early 2026 with international dates. The Back to Badlands Tour dives deep into the emotional rawness of her earliest work, delivered in venue sizes where the lyrics can be felt up close like a decade ago when originally released.

Just this past summer, Halsey packed the Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island, an open-air amphitheater that seats tens of thousands, for her For My Last Trick tour. This fall, she’s trading that vast stage for the tighter embrace of Aragon, creating two nights of close connection with her fans.

Revisiting Badlands a decade later, Halsey has transformed musically and personally since. The deluxe edition includes new or orchestral remixes, plus those long-awaited music videos for “Gasoline” and “Drive.”

Don’t miss one of her most intimate U.S. stops in years. Halsey takes over Aragon Ballroom on November 8 and 9. Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.com.
