HAYLA will perform at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on Friday, September 4, as part of The DARK Tour. Doors open at 8:00 PM and the show starts at 9:00 PM. The venue is located at 6126 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028.

The tour supports her latest solo album DARK, which is out now. According to the release, the live sets on this run are described as her most intimate yet, leaning into the alternative direction of the new record rather than the dancefloor-heavy sound of her previous tours.

HAYLA is a Grammy-nominated, gold-certified artist from Liverpool whose collaborations include records with John Summit ("Where You Are," "Shiver"), Kygo ("Without You"), MEDUZA ("Another World"), ILLENIUM ("In My Arms"), and Nelly Furtado ("FADED"). According to the release, HAYLA has accumulated over 1 billion streams on Spotify across her solo work and collaborations. Her debut album DUSK received a Spotify Mint cover and a BBC Radio 1 "Hottest Record" designation, with "Visions Of You" reportedly reaching number two on Mediabase and top 10 on Billboard Dance Airplay in 2025.

In 2026, she received nominations for an iHeartRadio Music Award and four Electronic Music Awards, and won a Femmy Award for Best Vocalist at Miami Music Week.

Singles from DARK include "HEAL," "ENOUGH," "EASIER," and the title track. HAYLA has described her sound as "sad bitch music," thematically centered on loss, love, grief, and resilience.

NPR Music included DARK among the best albums released on July 31, 2026, according to the release.

For independent artists, HAYLA's trajectory from teaching singing lessons in Liverpool to headlining venues across North America is worth paying attention to. The pivot she is making with DARK, moving genres mid-career and designing a tour around the new sound rather than the catalog, is a real-world example of an artist betting on artistic evolution over playing it safe.
