Mini-tour Announcement
Rising singer-songwriter Akira Galaxy surprised fans this week with a joint mini-tour alongside indie outfit SSPU. “Excited to announce I’ll be hitting the road with @sspu for a couple shows next month. Can’t wait can’t wait!!!! See you up North ❤️🔥 link in bio!” Galaxy wrote on Instagram, teasing two dates that promise to showcase both artists’ live strengths.
Artist Background And Festival Highlights
Galaxy first gained attention with her breakout single “Hit the Ground,” which racked up millions of streams last summer. Since then, she’s played several major festivals—most recently headlining The Ohana Fest. In May, she posted, “Thrilled to announce I’ll be playing @theohanafest this year. Absolutely cannot wait. See you out there!” highlighting her growing festival résumé.
Born and raised in Seattle, Galaxy often taps into Pacific Northwest vibes, blending warm acoustic textures with pop sensibilities. Last month she shared a sun-soaked snap captioned “Summer is summoning us 🐦🔥,” hinting at the laid-back energy she plans to bring to her summer shows.
Tour Details & Tickets
Exact cities and venues remain under wraps—Galaxy directs fans to the link in her bio for ticket announcements and presale access. The singer noted the gigs will land “up North,” a nod to her Northwest roots. Reportedly, the shows are slated for late June, with venues likely to be announced by the end of this month.
SSPU, known for their atmospheric live sets and tight-knit fan community, will join Galaxy on stage for select tracks. While neither act has released a joint set list, attendees can expect both acoustic and full-band arrangements that highlight Galaxy’s vocal range alongside SSPU’s instrumental flair.
Fan Reaction And Social Buzz
Within hours of the Instagram post, fans flooded Twitter and TikTok with excitement, tagging friends and sharing countdown graphics. One fan wrote, “Galaxy + SSPU in the same lineup? Dream come true,” while another crafted a custom tour poster in under an hour, showcasing the collaboration’s instant viral appeal.
The announcement also sparked renewed interest in Galaxy’s latest single, “Only Human.” In March she shared the story behind that track, writing, “I remember driving through the city late into the night feeling an overwhelming sense of excitement… I knew I had written one of my favorite songs.” The renewed streaming spike suggests the tour news is already boosting her catalog.
Looking Ahead
For Galaxy, the brief run with SSPU marks the start of what she’s calling her “summer road diaries.” She’s hinted at more dates later in the season, including potential festival appearances, but for now the focus is on these two North Coast showcases. Fans are advised to follow both artists on Instagram and sign up for updates via Galaxy’s link in bio to secure tickets as soon as they drop.
With both acts riding high on recent releases and festival slots, this collaborative tour could set the tone for a busy second half of the year. Whether you’re a longtime follower of Akira Galaxy or a newcomer drawn in by SSPU’s moody soundscapes, these Northbound dates are shaping up to be must-see live events.
Stay tuned for city and venue announcements, and get ready to experience the Pacific Northwest spirit with two of indie pop’s most dynamic performers.
