27 May Madison Beer on Locket Tour: What Her Setlist Reveals About Her Pop Journey at 27
06:30 Reading time
Madrid turned a setlist into a diary rather than a concert this past Sunday. At 27, Madison Beer is on her fourth tour, riding the wave of her Locket album, with 32 shows on the itinerary. The songs she’s playing every night now feel different from anything she’s done before. Compare the setlists from the last six years and you’ll see an artist who isn’t catching up-she’s settling accounts. What that means for her pop journey and which DACH dates are still to come this summer.
- ▸ 32 shows, tour kicks off 11.05. in Kraków. Locket Tour wraps 13.07. in New York. Europe leg is currently underway.
- ▸ angel wings live for the first time. The premiere happened in Kraków, Madrid and London are next. The track sat on studio files for two years.
- ▸ More than twenty songs per show. Setlist blends Locket material with Selfish, Reckless and Make You Mine anchoring the older-fan set.
- ▸ Three openers rotating. Isabel LaRosa, Thủy, Lulu Simon. A clear statement toward genre expansion.
- ▸ DACH stops in June. Berlin and Cologne are Europe dates, Vienna follows in the autumn leg via Live Nation.
Four tours in six years-and why this one feels different
Madison Beer belongs to the rare breed of pop stars who didn’t break in via talent shows but via Justin Bieber’s 2012 tweet. She was thirteen at the time. What followed was an unusually long ramp-up to her first proper album phase: singles from 2017, the mini-career boost from Dead in 2018, the belated debut Life Support in 2021. Only with Silence Between Songs in 2023 did she graduate to the second tier of pop touring royalty.
Locket is her third studio album, released February 2026. The Locket Tour is the fourth, and it wears two visible layers: one where she’s still the bedroom-piano singer-songwriter quietly crafting unassuming songs; another where, for the first time, she owns the arena format without the stage swallowing her whole. Kraków on 11.05. was night one, Madrid on 24.05. was night eleven. The setlist that grew between those points is the most candid self-portrait she’s ever delivered live.
What feels different: she’s leaving songs behind. Earlier Beer shows were hit marathons; now they’re setlist storybooks. Selfish lands mid-set instead of as encore fireworks. Reckless plays slower than on record. And angel wings-untouched live for two years-now stops the show cold.
What the Setlist Reveals About Pop’s Self-Image Right Now
Readers of the Madrid reviews keep noticing one recurring theme: for the first time, Beer no longer feels like someone who has to prove herself. After 13 years in the spotlight, that’s not something a pop singer who scored her first viral moment at 13 can take for granted. The order of the setlist does what studio production alone cannot: it arranges her career chronologically, not by chart position.
Four Tours, Four Signature Statements
The choice of the three openers is part of the statement. Isabel LaRosa is the younger, darker Beer version who is currently earning pop status herself. Thủy injects the R&B element missing from Beer’s own set. Lulu Simon hails from the songwriting camp world of Tate McRae and Sabrina Carpenter. Three acts that together open a genre spectrum Beer doesn’t need to cover on her own. Looking at this lineup, you see a curator, not just a headliner.
The most fascinating shift on this tour: Madison Beer is visibly stepping into the role of tour architect, not merely the singer performing her own songs. What used to be handled by management or the label now looks like her own decision. Locket itself is an album of short tracks and intimate lyrics that shouldn’t work live-yet on this tour they do, because the surrounding architecture (lights, pacing, opener choices) builds the stage these songs deserve.
When Madison Beer’s Locket Tour Hits DACH Cities
The tour has an unusually clear European split: Poland, Spain, and the UK first, followed by Central Europe, then the USA. For DACH fans, that means dates in Berlin, Cologne, and Vienna fall between mid-June and early July, depending on the city. Remaining tickets are available via Live Nation and Eventim. Beer tours typically sell out within days; the DACH dates vanished within hours during the first pre-sale window in early March.
If you’re still hunting for a ticket, you’ve got two realistic routes: resale platforms with honest pricing like Twickets or fanSale, or last-minute day-of at the venue, where promoters and fan cancellations occasionally free up single seats. Scalper sites charging 3× face value are a poor bet for a show that lives by its pacing rather than a single pyrotechnic centerpiece. You’ll get in, you’ll be blown away, and you’ll have dropped €250 for an €80 ticket-hardly in tune with the show’s vibe.
Another option is the tour documentary that usually accompanies Beer’s runs. Silence Between Songs delivered a YouTube docuseries with its own live footage; if the pattern holds, a comparable Locket Tour doc should drop in September or October. Miss the DACH dates and you’ll catch the show in edited form there.
