HADES: THE SACRIFICE Tour -- Melanie Martinez Goes Arena in 2026

Melanie Martinez has never been a conventional pop star, and the HADES: THE SACRIFICE Tour is her most unconventional move yet. Spanning 26 dates across North America and Europe, the tour is a full-scale theatrical production built around her fourth studio album, HADES. The album continues the conceptual storytelling that has defined her career -- from the baby-doll imagery of Cry Baby to the school-as-metaphor world of K-12 to the alien rebirth narrative of PORTALS. With HADES, Martinez descends into the underworld, and the live show is designed to take fans along for the journey.

Martinez first teased the HADES era with a series of intimate performances called The Hades Ritual, staged at The United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles and United Palace in New York. These smaller shows gave fans a preview of the new music and visual world, featuring practical effects and camera illusions that blurred the line between concert and performance art. The full SACRIFICE tour takes those ideas and scales them up to arena size, promising a production that rivals anything happening in pop music today.

The North American leg opens July 15 in St. Paul, Minnesota, and hits major arenas in rapid succession. Melanie Martinez plays Grand Casino Arena, Allstate Arena in the Chicago area, Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, TD Garden in Boston, Barclays Center in Brooklyn, CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Spectrum Center in Charlotte, Gas South Arena in Atlanta, Kia Center in Orlando, American Airlines Center in Dallas, Moody Center in Austin, Mortgage Matchup Center in El Paso, and The Kia Forum in Los Angeles. After wrapping the North American dates, she heads to Europe for shows in Amsterdam, London, Manchester, Paris, Frankfurt, and Hamburg through late September.

What makes a Melanie Martinez show unlike anything else is the level of world-building. Every album has its own visual identity, and the live shows bring those worlds to life through custom sets, costumes, choreography, and multimedia storytelling. HADES promises to be the darkest and most immersive chapter yet, drawing from mythology and Martinez's own twisted fairy-tale aesthetic to create something truly unique in the concert space.
