Zara Larsson concert chronology

The Don't Worry Bout Me Tour was the second major concert tour by Swedish singer Zara Larsson, in support of her first international debut studio album, So Good (2017) and upcoming second international studio album Poster Girl (2021). The tour began on April 29, 2019, in San Francisco and concluded on October 3, 2019 in Atlanta.

Background

Days before the release of his single "Don't Worry Bout Me", Larsson announced that she would be embarking on his second concert tour. Dates were first announced for North America on February 26, 2019. Due to overwhelming demand, additional dates were added for Europe on March 25, 2019. On July 23, 2019 Larsson announced that he would be performing again at North America for fall.[1] Larsson also performed at several major music festivals, including BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in England,[2] Firenze Rocks in Italy,[3] Stavernfestivalen in Norway,[4] Sensommar Festival, Way Out West Festival in Sweden[5] and iHeartRadio Music Festival in United States.[6] In addition, during that time Larsson was also embarked with Ed Sheeran on some dates of ÷ Tour around France, Portugal, Spain, Austria, Romania, Czech Republic, Latvia, Russia, Finland, Denmark and Iceland.[7]

Astrid S were announced as supporting act in the first stage of the tour in United States.[8]

North America

The tour received positive reviews from music critics in the United States. In a review for Melodic Magazine, Angel Esobar wrote: "With amazing stage production and smooth transitions, the show truly was the best it could be. From the flashing white lights to the moody blues, everything was timed accordingly to what was going on stage. Zara’s unlimited energy was emphasized with the nonstop music. As one song would end, it would quickly transition to another keeping the energy level at an all time high". Esobar also highlighted: "There is no denying that Zara Larsson is the total package. With an infectious personality and an enormous amount of talent, Zara will instantly win you over".[9]

Doug Krantz from Veracious Magazine wrote: "Zara triumphantly took to the stage standing high atop a metallic platform [...]. She showed off her vocal prowess, easily moving between stellar runs and high energy choreography. It’s clear that Zara Larsson is not here to play, as this show truly showcased an artist at their best, having fun, performing full out, and giving us back 110% of the energy we were giving her".[10] Matt Torres from the Soundazed said that "Zara Larsson sure puts on a damn great show [...]. From the powerful live vocals that led each track to the infectious and tantalizing dance moves that kept us on our toes, Zara Larsson was on fire as she delivered her most successful hits". Also added that "her stage presence demands attention, her voice is showstopping, and her choreography will have you queuing up YouTube dance tutorials just to keep up".[11]

The third leg of the tour has also received positive reviews. Scott Rowe from MTC MAG commented that "It's clear from the very start that Zara has got a amazing voice. Zara and her dancers do a fantastic job onstage with what seems a nonstop variety of choreography, which is welcomed with her catchy songs".[12] Blake Charles of Beyond The Stage praised Zara's night show at the Wonder Ballroom in Portland, expressing that "Larsson's incredible vocals soared over the glistening production, all while a colorful array of lights shone down from above, making for a perfect way to start the show. Her ability to go on the most imopressive of vocal runs one second, then jump into a split the next, is beyond impressive, adn proves how dynamic of a performer she is. It was truly a magical and triumphant show".[13]

Europe

In Europe, Larsson's performance was praised by critics, with many praising her vocals, his dances and his energy. Lisa Hafey of Essentially Pop stated that "She gave the capacity crowd what they wanted: strong, soaring, vocals, supported by a live band. Larsson has an incredible voice, and she demonstrated her range to full effect during the show. There was also a nice gender balance as well, which made for a great atmosphere".[14] Brett Dunford of Louder Than War described that the interpretation of "Don't Let Me Be Yours" reflects "her helium voice so angelic", stated that her set "closes on epic form" and finally said that "one word sums the area up: happiness".[15]

Alina Hasky of Minuten Musik said that "Vocally she shined at a very high level and was fitter than ever. She presented herself as absolutely talented and took the stage with a lot of energy and power. Larsson danced as hard as he could and reveled in very sophisticated choreography".[16]
