TAMPA – Grammy-nominated Poppy is following up on the release of her fifth album, “Negative Spaces,” with a North American tour in 2025.
The 28-city tour includes a stop April 7 at The Ritz Ybor in Tampa. Tickets went on sale Nov 22 at LiveNation.com.
“Negative Spaces” offers several singles that s Hwalk the line of several genres, including delicately delivered pop (“yesterday”), full bodied screams (“have you had enough”), synth-symbiotic ‘80s retro-futurism (“crystallized”) and energy-jolted ‘00s pop-punk (“Negative Spaces”).
Poppy has spent 2024 touring with 30 Second to Mars and Avenged Sevenfold as well as releasing collaborative singles with the likes of Bad Omens (“V.A.N.”) and Knocked Loose (“Suffocate”).
She was nominated for a Grammy in 2021 for Best Metal Performance (“BLOODMONEY”). This was the first time a solo female artist had ever been nominated in the category.
