Midwestern darling, burgeoning pop icon and queer hero Chappell Roan unveils her new single “Good Luck, Babe!” out now via Amusement / Island Records. This electrifying track transcends the ordinary with its blend of nostalgic 80s synth-pop and balladier vocals. With raw vulnerability, Chappell bares her emotions, belting out an empowering anthem that explores leaving behind a romantic relationship and exploring authentic love and self-acceptance. Chappell shares, “I needed to write a song about a common situationship within queer relationships — where someone is struggling with coming to terms with themselves. It’s a song about wishing well to someone who is avoidant of their true feelings”. Listen HERE.
Proven as such with recent standout live performances at NPR’s Tiny Desk, MTV PUSH and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Chappell Roan is a musical powerhouse with an unstoppable trajectory, also highlighted with recent viral moments from interviews with ABC News Live and TIME Magazine. Adding to her momentum, Roan has announced European tour dates for her Midwest Princess Tour, promising unforgettable performances filled with her soul-stirring vocals and magnetic charisma - see full list of dates below.
Hailed by Billboard for being a “a powerhouse vocalist with a potent stage presence,” Chappell Roan recently finished an incredible run, captivating audiences across North America, supporting Grammy-winning pop super star Olivia Rodrigo on her GUTS World Tour. Notably, all the headline dates slotted around the GUTS tour sold out, adding an extra layer of anticipation to Roan’s already sought-after solo performances. Before heading out on her sure-to-sell-out solo tour, Roan has curated an electrifying lineup of performances this summer, including stops at touchstone summer festivals such as Coachella, Boston Calling, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, and more. Her much-anticipated headlining spring/summer 2024 tour, in support of her critically heralded debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess kicks off May 18th at the Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, AL, and wraps at Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN.

Over the past year, Chappell Roan catapulted into stardom, releasing her highly-anticipated debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwets Princess–earning her praise, critical acclaim, and included on the Best Albums of 2023 lists from Variety, Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Atlantic, Time, VOGUE, and many more. TeenVogue’s “pop star for the ages” wrapped her first sold out headline Midwest Princess Tour, selling out major cities across the U.S. and Canada. Every tour stop had its own unique theme (like “My Kink Is Karma,” “homecoming dance”) and incorporated opening sets from local drag queens. Roan’s shows have earned universal praise for her captivating performances, creating “a safe space…for self-expression,” and housing an unforgettable show riddled with “vaudevillian antics and pop-royalty-level confidence.”
Chappell Roan is teaming up with PLUS1 to make a positive impact. For every ticket sold, $1 will be donated to For The Gworls, supporting Black transgender individuals with essentials like rent, surgeries, and medical assistance. Additionally, for the UK leg of the tour, Chappell Roan has partnered with PLUS1, ensuring that £1/€1 per ticket goes to supporting Kaleidoscope Trust and their work fighting for the human rights of LGBTI+ people across the Commonwealth and beyond. Established in 2011, Kaleidoscope Trust is a UK-based charity focused on advocating for the human rights of LGBTI+ individuals worldwide. These collaborations reflect Chappell Roan's commitment to social responsibility, using the power of music to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.
With bold hooks, powerhouse vocals, and theatrical flair Chappell Roan has continued building a cult-like fanbase over the past year across releases like the booming, dance floor-ready “Red Wine Supernova”, her breathtaking self-written ballad “Kaleidoscope”, and last year’s cinematic fan favorite “Casual”. Her synth-pop smash breakthrough, 2020’s “Pink Pony Club” (co-written and produced by Daniel Nigro), set the tone for Chappell’s evolution into her own version of pop stardom: a small town rhinestone cowgirl delivering euphoric, heartfelt bangers, and a queer icon for a generation.
Chappell Roan continues to connect with her growing fanbase by championing an open and honest expression of identity and unapologetic sexuality. Through her music, art, style and spirit, she has already earned press nods from Pitchfork, NPR, MTV, Vulture, Billboard, V Magazine, Rolling Stone, Teen Vogue and more. This year, Chappell was named one of Spotify’s, VEVO DSCVR, and Ones To Watch Artists to Watch in 2024, and also earned Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Artist of 2023. Earlier heralded releases “Naked In Manhattan,” and the “deliciously vindictive “My Kink Is Karma” received well-deserved traction in both the digital and live music world paving the way for The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Chappell’s major achievements in 2023 have poised her for an even more remarkable 2024. Stay tuned for more from Chappell Roan!
