Forget arenas and amphitheaters.
Rex Orange County is going the theatre route.
This fall, the bedroom pop star will stage mini, multi-night residencies at auditoriums, concert halls and, yes, theatres, all over North America as part of his ‘Finally: A Theatre Tour by Rex Orange County’ in support of his forthcoming album “The Alexander Technique,” due out Sept. 6.
That includes a trio of gigs at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on Friday, Oct. 11, Saturday, Oct. 12 and Sunday, Oct. 13.
“For this tour, I’m going to play a select number of cities in carefully chosen theatre venues, but will be playing multiple nights within them,” the 26-year-old shared in a press release.
“Historically with each album that I’ve released, I’ve always played bigger and bigger shows. But I wanted to do something different for this particular project because sonically the new songs lend themselves to being heard in a more intimate and traditional setting. These particular venues have allowed me to create a show with a theatrical stage set to further narrate the themes of the album alongside the music. I love playing live and I can’t wait to bring this new album to life across so many beautiful rooms and iconic stages.”
His tour announcement on Instagram also promises he’ll play other songs from his catalog as well.
If you want to hear Rex play his new record (and a few other tracks) in the venues they’re meant to be experienced in, tickets are available as soon as today.

Rex Orange County new music
As for the album, Rex Orange County is breaking new ground.
“The Alexander Technique is very much a look into my own brain and experiences over the last few years – it’s almost a diary,” he shared in a press release. “I’ve made a lot of love songs over the years, and I feel as though this is the first time I’m trying to make a project about everything in life. In my mind, it’s exactly what I’ve always wanted to make.”
You can find the two lead singles, the wistful piano ballad “Alexander” and trippy “Guitar Song,” here.
