Kim Petras is officially gearing up for her next era!

The pop star revealed that her new single, “Need For Speed,” drops this Wednesday, April 22nd at 9 a.m. PST, and it serves as the first single from her upcoming album Detour, which now finally has a release date.

That alone is a huge moment for fans who’ve been waiting for Kim to get this rollout moving, and “Need For Speed” feels like a fitting title for an era that sounds ready to hit the gas. With the album now locked in, the focus shifts to what this next chapter will sound like, and if Kim’s recent output is any clue… she’s likely keeping things glossy, high-energy, and very her.

The release also gives fans something else to look forward to this summer. Kim is set to perform at LadyLand 2026 on June 27th at Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn, making it one of the key live dates in her calendar as she kicks off the Detour era.

For now, all eyes are on Wednesday’s drop and the official start of Detour. After all the teasing and waiting, Kim finally looks ready to accelerate into her next phase.
