18-year-old multi-talent Laila! is coming off a year to remember! The SoundCloud/IIIXL label recording artist released her debut album GAP YEAR in September! The album quickly became critically acclaimed and was listed on “Best of 2024” lists from Billboard, Complex, Vibe, Pitchfork and others.

Following last year’s success, the singer, producer, songwriter and fast-rising musical iconoclast announced her debut Gap Year! North American headlining tour with a list of select dates. Laila! invites all to join her as she continues her gap year journey by hitting the road and taking on stages across the country for her first headlining tour. After all, where’s the fun in taking a gap year without traveling?

Ticketing will begin with an exclusive artist presale on Wednesday January 29th at 10AM local time followed by a Spotify Fans First presale on Thursday January 30th at 10AM local time which can be accessed via exclusive email sent by Spotify to dedicated Laila! listeners.

The tour news comes on the heels of Laila! being announced as the 2025 BET Amplified Artist of the Month. She looks to continue building on last year’s momentum with the upcoming  Gap Year! Tour. Congrats to Laila on this major milestone!
