Halsey to play Jones Beach this summer

Halsey, the Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling pop star behind the chart-topping single “Without Me,” will play Northwell at Jones Beach Theater this summer as part of a North American tour titled “For My Last Trick.”

Presales for Halsey’s June 1 show begin Feb. 19 and general tickets go on sale Feb. 21 at 10 a.m. at ForMyLastTrick.com.

The singer’s 32-city tour begins May 10 in Concord, Ca., and wraps up July 6 back in Highland, Ca. Supporting acts will vary from show to show, but the Jones Beach concert will include Alvvays, a Canadian indie-pop foursome, and Hope Tala, a British singer-songwriter whose 2020 single “All My Girls Like to Fight” was a favorite of former President Barack Obama. (Evanescence, the enduring goth-rock group led by Amy Lee, will play a single show with Halsey, in Los Angeles on May 14.)

Halsey, who uses she/they pronouns interchangeably, announced the tour with a video depicting her as a cynical show-biz diva striding through a photo shoot while shadowed by a perky assistant. “I always said I’d be buried in this wig,” the blue-haired singer gripes, adding, “figured I probably should be.” Halsey goes on to cut Joe Jonas from a guest list, drop a grade school choirboy from her entourage (“Lose the kid, it’s way too sad”) and finally take a phone call announcing that the whole shoot has been canceled. The video closes on an image of three multicolored flower-bouquets surrounding an open casket.
