"Phoebe Bridgers has returned to Earth after a three-year solo hiatus to bring us new music. But if you're hoping to catch one of her surprise shows, you'll have to hope that your town has an extraterrestrial history. Her first show was in Roswell, New Mexico, on May 8, the same place where conspiracy theorists alleged the US government uncovered a UFO crash. The next day, she played in Lubbock, Texas, where people reported seeing mysterious lights in the sky (aka the Lubbock Lights). Tonight, Bridgers plays in Little Rock, Arkansas, a city with UFO sightings dating back to 1896 and with PB concert plans from August."
""It's all been very top secret," Rev Room co-owner Chris King told Arkansas Online. "We didn't tell our staff until this morning. It all happened very organically. The one thing that was stressed to us was they really wanted the people from the local community to attend the show. They want local crowds and I think we are gonna have a great one here tonight.""
"The secret shows are more than just a fun surprise for fans - she premiered three new songs that may be featured on an upcoming album. One of the songs Bridgers wrote was allegedly about her father, who died in 2023. Merch even included some of the unreleased lyrics, like "Now I can't see any stars in the sky, when a dream comes true, a fantasy dies." Oh, this album is going to wreck us."
