When Zara Larsson released Midnight Sun on September 26th, 2025, it wasn’t just another pop album: it was a full-blown takeover.
Shimmering, powerful, and addictive from start to finish, the record glows with the confidence of an artist who knows exactly who she is and has no intention of dimming her light for anyone. Months later, Midnight Sun is still dominating playlists, TikToks, and sold-out crowds, and the phenomenon is only getting bigger.
At its core, Midnight Sun is Zara at her most self-assured. Each track radiates what she’s always stood for: empowerment, joy, and high-energy vulnerability. From the glittering confidence of its dance-pop anthems to the more introspective midnight moments, the record cemented her as one of this generation’s true pop architects.
The success didn’t just happen overnight… Zara spent years building this universe, and now she’s standing firmly at the center of it, glowing brighter than ever. Next month, Zara will reignite the world once again with the deluxe edition of Midnight Sun, offering up new, all-female collaborations and a handful of fresh, highly anticipated tracks.
She’s been teasing it through soft-drop visuals, and cryptic posts that have fans decoding every emoji. If the original album reminded the industry of her throne, the deluxe version is her coronation.
But it’s live where Zara really proves her fire. On February 28th, The Midnight Sun Tour kicks off at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom, and the energy behind it is already electric.
The 30-plus city trek stretches across North America, hitting all the major pop capitals: from Seattle, Oakland, and Los Angeles (with two sold-out nights at The Wiltern, March 4th and 5th), to New York’s Brooklyn Paramount (March 26th and 27th), Boston, Chicago, Detroit, and Toronto. She’ll wrap the run down south in April, lighting up cities like Miami, Austin, and Dallas before closing the U.S. leg in Houston on April 12th.
Zara’s tour isn’t just another series of shows, it’s an immersive experience drenched in neon energy, with choreography that merges club culture and cinematic storytelling. Support comes from rising pop rebel Amelia Moore, setting the tone with an opening set that perfectly complements Zara’s fearless energy.
Fans lucky enough to snag tickets before they sold out (rapidly, in most cities) can expect a setlist that blends Midnight Sun’s hits with nostalgic nods to earlier tracks, all delivered with the precision and charisma that have become Larsson’s trademark.
And Zara’s not stopping there. After the North American run, she’ll bring Midnight Sun to Australia this October: Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth are all on the itinerary. Within hours of presales opening, every single ticket was gone. If there’s one thing clear about this new era, it’s that Zara Larsson has officially gone global.
The Hollywood Reporter has already hailed The Midnight Sun Tour as one of 2026’s “most anticipated pop spectacles,” and it’s easy to see why. The visuals, the energy, and most importantly, the narrative, Zara’s story of blazing through doubt to claim her place: make this more than a concert series. It’s a victory lap.
In every interview, Zara speaks about Midnight Sun as a reflection of who she’s become. It’s mature, bold, and joyfully self-aware, but never jaded. Songs from the project continue to trend across platforms, with fans calling this era her “main character moment.”
From the music videos to the tour wardrobe: sequins, metallics, and confident silhouettes, Zara’s aesthetic is the perfect mirror of the album’s central message: shine harder, even when the world gets dark.
So while some albums fade with time, Midnight Sun just keeps rising, illuminating a new chapter of pop that’s fearless, feminine, and fully Zara. The era isn’t just surviving, it’s dominating. And if anyone doubted her staying power, the message is clear: Zara Larsson’s light isn’t going out anytime soon.
