Kylie Cantrall will embark on her first-ever headlining tour this autumn, the Valley Girl Problems Tour, stopping in 15 cities across North America. The announcement came on August 3, 2026, via Billboard, and follows the July 24 release of her EP of the same name.

The tour opens on September 25, 2026 at The Fillmore in Minneapolis, according to Cantrall's official website. From there, the route moves through Chicago's Riviera Theatre on September 27, the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on September 29, Boston's Citizens House of Blues on October 1, and ACL Live in Austin on October 13. Tickets for the Boston stop went on sale August 7 at 10am, per Cantrall's Instagram.

The Valley Girl Problems EP is a nine-track project released through Republic Records, produced by Tricky Stewart — the Grammy-winning producer behind Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" — with songwriting contributions from Tayla Parx, whose credits include tracks for Ariana Grande and Megan Thee Stallion. The lead single, "Carrie Bradshaw," preceded the EP, which Cantrall has described as her most personal project to date. Alongside the EP release, she put out an official music video for the song "Closet" and a series of visualizers.

In its first week of release, the EP earned 2.5 million on-demand official streams in the U.S., according to Luminate — the data firm whose figures underpin the Billboard charts. The digital EP is currently sold for $7.99 on Cantrall's official store.

Cantrall built her audience through acting roles on the Disney Channel before transitioning into music, and the Valley Girl Problems Tour represents her first chance to headline rooms of her own. The move from streaming numbers to a full tour route is the standard path for a developing pop act: prove the demand online, then convert it into ticket buyers city by city.

What gives the tour its commercial weight is that first-week streaming figure. Two-and-a-half million on-demand U.S. streams for a debut EP, in ten days, is a meaningful early signal — enough to justify a 15-city booking across venues ranging from historic theatres to mid-size clubs. Whether those listeners become ticket-holders is the question every promoter who bid on the route will be watching.
