Phoebe Bridgers will be playing her first live show in three years, and it's happening today (Friday).
Mysterious posters first began appearing around Roswell, New Mexico on Thursday, indicating that the musician would be playing a show the next day at the Liberty, a local venue.
Per Stereogum, the box office for the venue will open at noon local time, with doors opening at 6 p.m. local time. Ticket sales will be first come, first served, and per the flyers, "No cellphones, smart watches, smart glasses, cameras, or recording devices allowed."
The boygenius rocker has not performed alone since May 2023, when she opened for Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour. In 2024, she performed as part of boygenius ahead of the 2024 Grammy Awards, where she became the most awarded artist at the ceremony, taking home four Grammy wins.
Bridger released her latest album under her own name, Punisher, in 2020.
