And, yes, Lefty will be making a stop in the namesake of her Billboard Hot 100 No. 3 hit, with the Illinois native planning to play MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston on Jan. 17. The Long Way Home Tour will conclude on Feb. 20 at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.
“LONG WAY HOME TOUR!!!” Lefty wrote in her caption. “I’m so so excited to be back on the road and sing these new songs with you guys in person! Thank you for the love on my debut album (eek) your support means EVERYTHING to me. i love you and i can’t wait to sing and dance soon !!! ILYYYYYYY.”
The star also prompted fans to sign up online via Live Nation for presale access to tickets, which will become available to those who registered on Aug. 27. Remaining seats will go on sale to the rest of the public the following day on Lefty’s website.
Coming after a string of festival appearances, the Long Way Home Tour builds upon the momentum of “Boston,” which has been steadily climbing the charts since it first debuted on the Hot 100 at No. 95 in April after dropping in March. In the first week of August, the track reached its current peak at No. 3 on the chart. It appears on Lefty’s debut LP Long Way Home, which arrived three days prior to the tour announcement.
