Gossip singer Beth Ditto released her solo debut, Fake Sugar, this year, and did plenty of touring in support of it. She’ll do more touring in 2018, including some stops at bigger venues.

She returns to NYC on March 14 at Brooklyn Steel. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (12/15) at noon with an AmEx presale starting today (12/13) at noon. She also has US shows in Cambridge, MA and Pomona, CA (and possibly more TBA?), and a handful of European shows. All dates are listed below.

UPDATE: Full North American tour announced.

Beth also has a role in the Gus Van Sant-directed drama/biopic Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot, based on the memoir of the same name by cartoonist John Callahan. It  stars Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Jonah Hill, Jack Black and others, and it will make its world premiere at Sundance 2018. From Sundance’s website: “John Callahan has a talent for off-color jokes…and a drinking problem. When a bender ends in a car accident, Callahan wakes permanently confined to a wheelchair. In his journey back from rock bottom, Callahan finds beauty and comedy in the absurdity of human experience.”
