Chelsea Wolfe announces new album & tour (dates & trailer)

by Andrew Sacher

Chelsea Wolfe

The artfully gothy Chelsea Wolfe already has two great albums and an acoustic LP under her belt, and she’s set to release a new album, Pain Is Beauty, on September 3 via Sargent House. Chelsea hasn’t revealed any full tracks from it, but you can hear some snippets in an album trailer below. It’s short, but from the sound of those clips, there’s plenty to be excited about.

As mentioned, Chelsea Wolfe will open for Swans at Warsaw on June 13 as part of the Northside Festival, which is a great (and terrifying) pairing. Tickets for that show are still available, or you can try to get in with your Northside Badge.

After that show, Chelsea will take a couple months off, and then kick off a full North American tour beginning with her slot at LA’s FYF Fest. That tour brings her back to NYC for a headlining show at Bowery Ballroom on September 13. Tickets for that show are not on sale yet, but you can check Ticketmaster for updates.

All dates are listed, along with the album trailer and tracklist, below…
