The Holy Fvck Tour was the seventh concert tour by American singer Demi Lovato in support of her[a] eighth studio album Holy Fvck (2022). The tour, consisting of 34 dates, began on August 13, 2022, in Springfield, Illinois, and ended on November 10, in Rosemont, Illinois.[1] Through its three legs, the tour visited both North and South America, with support acts including Dead Sara and Royal & the Serpent.

Background

[edit]

On June 6, 2022, Lovato announced her eighth studio album, Holy Fvck.[2] A day later, Lovato announced tour dates and stated that she would embark on a concert tour supporting the album throughout the Summer and Fall of 2022.[3] American hard rock band Dead Sara and singer-songwriter Royal & the Serpent were set to open the North American leg.[4]

Previously, Lovato had been confirmed to perform at several state fairs, including Illinois and Iowa State Fair.[5][6] A year prior, she also was announced as one of the performers at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil.[7]

Reception

[edit]

Julia Koscelnick of The GW Hatchet praised her concert in Washington, D.C., quoted that, "she never fails to dazzle with her vocals, but a lack of energy during her show to take her time to rest, fans could emphathize with Lovato taking time off to focus on resting her vocal cords."[8] Jessica Jakubowicz of the Concordian, gave a positive review for Lovato's concert in Montreal, praising her all-girl band and vocals, and stating that her vocals fit the rock arrangements of her back-catalogue.[9]
