media releases: U.K. alt-rock trio bôa has announced new 2025 spring North American and U.K. tour dates. The tour will begin on April 26 in Dallas, TX, at Longhorn Ballroom and will make stops in Washington D.C. at 9:30 Club on May 6, Minneapolis at First Avenue on May 13, Denver at Summit on May 15, and more. The newly announced dates also include the exciting news of their first U.S. festival appearance at Salt Lake City’s Kilby Court Block Party on Sunday, May 18. This winter and spring tour will follow the footsteps of their sold-out fall U.S. run, which included The Fonda in Los Angeles, Thalia Hall in Chicago, and two nights at Warsaw in New York City.
bôa released their long-awaited new album, Whiplash, on October 18, which received praise from Variety, OFFICE, Flood, Nylon, Clash, Brooklyn Vegan, and more. Produced by Chris Zane (Jack Antonoff, Passion Pit, St. Lucia), Whiplash is a melody-driven 13-song collection that references the band’s personal highs and lows and our collective cultural unrest. By tackling universal sentiments of pain, solitude, and triumph, Whiplash immediately transcends any generational divide, making bôa feel perpetually fresh. bôa is Jasmine Rodgers (lead vocals/guitar), Alex Caird (bass), and Lee Sullivan (drums).
Since bôa’s 1998 cult favorite “Duvet” resurfaced on TikTok, the song has soundtracked nearly 400,000 videos and gathered over 688 million streams on Spotify. Its resurgence with a new generation of fans inspired bôa to come back together to write and record new music with a renewed sense of passion. Today, the band has gathered more than 1 billion streams across their catalog, while “Duvet” has officially been certified Platinum in North America.
