LOS ANGELES — Writing perfect, transcendent pop music is a rare skill, but sustaining a devoted cult army for nearly two decades without constantly chasing mindless radio trends is even harder.
Carly Rae Jepsen has mastered that exact tightrope walk. Fresh off dropping her eighth studio album Day and Night via Interscope, the Canadian pop titan just announced a 26-city North American headline tour for spring 2027 that sees her stepping up to massive arena-tier venues.
Key Takeaways
- Career Milestone Venues: Promoted by Live Nation, the ‘Day and Night’ 2027 tour features Jepsen’s first-ever headlining plays at iconic cathedrals of live music, including Madison Square Garden in NYC, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
- Ticketing Security Protocols: The artist presale incorporates strict Ticketmaster verification steps—including optional facial selfie verification via Persona—to block automated scalping bots.
- Eighth Album Momentum: The tour supports her newly released record Day and Night, which earned heavy praise from critics as her best commercial debut since her 2012 breakthrough Kiss.
The “Day and Night” run kicks off on April 15, 2027, at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton, snaking through major markets across the United States and Canada before wrapping up on May 29 at MTELUS in Montreal.
While Jepsen has spent years playing theater circuits and festival main stages, anchoring a run around venues like Madison Square Garden and Colorado’s Red Rocks marks a huge, deserved scale-up for her live operations.
Ticketing Rollout and Presale Mechanics
To avoid the absolute disaster that typically accompanies high-demand pop presales, Jepsen’s team is deploying extra anti-bot measures in partnership with Ticketmaster.
Fans seeking access to the Artist Presale—which opens Tuesday, October 6 at 10 AM local time—must register on her website before Sunday, October 4 at 11 PM ET.
Access is tied directly to user accounts rather than generic promo codes.
Interestingly, Ticketmaster is requiring select account holders to undergo biometric selfie checks or submit government IDs through verification platform Persona during registration to weed out commercial ticket scalpers.
A secondary presale windows opens Monday, October 5 via corporate partner Verizon’s “Verizon Shine” loyalty app for U.S. subscribers.
General public tickets go on sale Thursday, October 8 at 10 AM local time via CarlyRaeMusic.com.
Critical Acclaim for ‘Day and Night’
The tour announcement comes on the heels of Day and Night, a project rolling through symphonic pop, psych-pop, and high-octane disco.
Anchored by the lead single “Versailles”—accompanied by a Sofia Coppola-inspired music video directed by Kanya Iwana—the record marks Jepsen’s most critically celebrated release since 2015’s pop landmark E•MO•TION.

Ever since “Call Me Maybe” shattered global charts back in 2012, Jepsen could have easily spent her career churning out carbon-copy viral singles. Instead, she took a left turn into hyper-focused, synth-heavy auteur pop.
That pivot earned her an incredibly loyal fanbase that consistently sells out multi-night runs. Moving into Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum isn’t just a win for Jepsen—it’s a victory for pop fans who value album craft over viral noise.
