illuminati hotties, the recording project of indie musician Sarah Tudzin, have announced a North American tour set for this fall. Along with the announcement, the indie rock act has shared a new track, “Can’t Be Still.” Stream the song below.
The jaunt, fittingly titled the “Can’t Be Still Tour,” kicks off on September 25th in Santa Ana, California, and will go on to hit cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, and more before wrapping up in Los Angeles on November 1st.
Tickets for illuminati hotties’ 2024 tour go on sale Friday, May 3rd at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. Fans can also look for deals or get tickets to sold-out dates via StubHub, where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.
The tour’s namesake, the new single “Can’t Be Still,” picks up where Tudzin left off with 2021’s acclaimed Let Me Do One More. As catchy as ever, the tune finds the songwriter battling “constant motion, avoidance, [and] restlessness.”
“I find that something I have in common with most people that I talk to lately is the immense fear of and inability to be alone with ourselves,” Tudzin explained in a statement. “Anything to keep myself from stagnating have always been my coping mechanisms when my inner monologue starts to get loud.”
While Tudzin hasn’t officially announced a new illuminati hotties album yet, the new cut and extensive tour seem to hint that one might be in the works.
In the time since Let Me Do One More, Tudzin has kept busy. She dropped loosies “Sandwich Sharer” and “Truck” in 2022 and 2023 respectively, collaborated with artists like Dim Wizard and Jeff Rosenstock, and has been playing key behind-the-scenes roles for a host of artists. She even engineered boygenius’ The Record, for which she nabbed Grammy recognition.
