The trio of artists shared on Monday (January 10) that they will be venturing out together for The Wild Hearts Tour, a co-headlining event in which the trio will be playing across North America this July and August.

The tour will consist of “mostly outdoor venues,” and each artist will play with their own respective bands. Joining the tour as a supporting act will be special guest Spencer.. Tickets are on sale Friday at 10 am local time.

“I’m so thrilled to be traveling and playing music alongside Spencer., Julien Baker, and Sharon Van Etten,” Olsen said in a statement. “It’s truly a dream, something to hold and share collaboratively as we get out from under the last few years. I know for fans it’s something different and special too, and for me, it’s sort of like a caravan summer camp-a chance to get to know other artists in a deeper way and talk about music and life and how it affects us all as we move forward. Most of all, I am excited to sing live again, in an open and real way, both alone and together with my tourmates.”

“Sharon and Angel are artists that I have genuinely admired for many years and whose music has honestly informed much of my own writing and music-making, and I’m thrilled to be sharing a stage with them every night,” added Baker. “I think after interacting with their recorded work separately so much, it will be special to get to learn from them as we share the space of performance.”

Noted Van Etten, “Our aim is to strengthen our respective communities and promote camaraderie in the music world in a safe and enjoyable environment while supporting, A New Way Of Life, an organization that we feel is making genuine impact for the underserved. We have carefully chosen the venues we think will deliver the best experience for us and our fans. I look up to Angel and have the deepest admiration for Julien and Spencer.. It is an honor, to say the least, to be able to share the stage with such talent on a tour across North America.”

The tour has also partnered with PLUS1, which means that $1 from every ticket sold will go to people working to rebuild their lives after being incarcerated.
