New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The GRAMMY Award-nominated songwriter/producer/performer Maggie Rogers announced her first-ever arena outing - "The Don't Forget Me Tour, Part II." Tonight's release of her third studio album, Don't Forget Me, will kick off a week-long celebration that she's dubbed "Box Office Week," which will include pop-up events, special shows taking place over the course of the week at intimate venues in four U.S. cities and a new round of Maggie's notable in-person ticketing.
"On the last album, Surrender, I decided to go old school and sell tickets in-person in an effort to reduce fees, combat bots and get tickets directly into the hands of fans," explains Maggie. That process was so fun, this year I'm hosting 'Box Office Week,' where I've set some special prices for fans who want to come purchase tickets in person. Here's how it's going to work… from April 13th to April 20th, in every city where I'm playing an arena this fall, you can go to the local box office to choose your seats and buy your ticket for a special in-person price. In NYC, Philly, Boston, and Chicago, I'm going to be in person selling tickets directly to you at the box office. After the box office day festivities, I'll be playing a show that very same night in those four cities where me and my band will perform Don't Forget Me for the very first time."
Presented by Chase and produced by Live Nation, "The Don't Forget Me Tour, Part II" will launch on October 9 at Moody Center in Austin, TX and include shows at New York City's Madison Square Garden (October 19) and the Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA (November 2). See below for full itinerary. Ryan Beatty will support on all fall arena dates.
The first chance at tickets for both the "Box Office Week" shows and the fall arena performances will be through in-person box office sales from Saturday, April 13, to Saturday, April 20. Dates vary per city. Release show tickets are limited to two per person at the box office and will be available for $25 with no added fees. Fans can check shop.maggierogers.com/pages/tour to find the box office sale date, time and location in their city. Release shows will take place the very evening of the in-person box office event post the album pop-ups.
For all arena dates, Maggie is partnering with Chase to offer cardholders an exclusive presale starting on Monday, April 22, at 10:00 AM ET. Fans can also access Maggie's artist presale - the artist presale will begin Tuesday, April 23. The general on sale for all arena shows on "The Don't Forget Me Tour, Part II" will begin Friday, April 26, at 10:00 AM local time.

"Come buy a ticket like it's 1965," Rogers encouraged fans when her "Summer of '23 Tour" was announced last year. She even worked the box office at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg where tickets for her Forest Hills Stadium shows went on sale, as Vulture, the Los Angeles Times and others reported. Elle noted, "For fans, waiting in line was part of a greater experience…What she was really doing was curating an experience for us to meet one another."
Part 1 of "The Don't Forget Me Tour" will kick off May 23 at Gallagher Square at Petco Park in San Diego, CA and include two nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado (May 27 + May 28). The Japanese House will support from May 24 - June 22. Rogers will also perform at Lovin' Life Festival and Bonnaroo.
Don't Forget Me will be released tonight via Capitol Records/Universal Music. Rogers co-produced her new album with Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris) at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, writing eight of its 10 songs with him and penning two alone. Shawn Everett (Brittany Howard, The War on Drugs) mixed. The album was mastered by Emily Lazar (Beck, Coldplay), who has mastered all of Rogers' albums to date.
"I wanted to make an album that sounded like a Sunday afternoon," Rogers explains. "Worn in denim. A drive in your favorite car. No make up, but the right amount of lipstick. Something classic. The mohair throw and bottle of Whiskey in Joan Didion's motel room. An old corvette. Vintage, but not overly Americana. I wanted to make an album to belt at full volume alone in your car, a trusted friend who could ride shotgun and be there when you needed her."
Don't Forget Me is the follow-up to 2022's Surrender, which earned widespread praise, with Rolling Stone hailing Rogers as a "pop music prodigy…an artist who's in it for the long haul." She recently celebrated the 5th anniversary of the release of Heard It In A Past Life, her 2019 debut album. Now certified Gold by the RIAA, the album has sold nearly a million copies worldwide and accrued one billion combined global streams.

The album earned praise from the likes of NPR, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, TIME Magazine, Vogue, and many more. Heard It In A Past Life also landed Rogers a nomination for Best New Artist at the 62nd GRAMMY® Awards and led to performances on major TV shows including "Saturday Night Live," "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," "Austin City Limits," "Today" and more. The album, which contains the Platinum hits "Light On" and "Alaska," has amassed over one billion combined global streams and is certified Gold in the U.S. In 2022, Rogers released her follow up album, Surrender, to widespread acclaim and embarked on two sold-out headline tours across Europe and North America including her Summer of '23 Tour which included stops at legendary venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, Forest Hills Stadium in NYC and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
