Mika Is Spinning Out…

April 2, 2026• byMichael Strangeways

But, not in Seattle… 🙁

Singer/songwriter Mika is a gay global pop star and he’s hitting the road in North America in April and May on The Spinning Out Tour with stops in Boston, NYC, LA, San Francisco, and Mexico City. Sadly, there’s no Portland or Seattle stop planned at this time. It’s all in support of his new English language album, Hyperlove out now.

We like both the song and the video for “Modern Times”….check it out!

Multi-platinum, BRIT Award-winning, and GRAMMY®-nominated global pop visionary MIKA is bringing his dazzling, kaleidoscopic live show back to North America this month. The Spinning Out Tour launches April 29 in Boston and will travel through major cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Austin, and more.

SPINNING OUT TOUR — NORTH AMERICA 2026

April 29 — Boston, MA — Citizens House of BluesMay 1 — Silver Spring, MD — The Fillmore Silver Spring

May 2 — New York, NY — The Rooftop at Pier 17

May 4 — Laval, QC — Place Bell

May 10 — Austin, TX — ACL Live at The Moody Theater

Marking his first English-language studio album since 2019, Hyperlove finds MIKA returning to the piano as the emotional core of his songwriting. Pairing his classically trained voice with richly textured, vintage production, the album was built entirely from analogue and retro sources, exploring the tension between modern life and human connection while reaffirming music’s power to uplift and unite.

The album, which marks a return to the Top 15 on the UK album charts, has been met with strong critical praise, earning 4 out of 5 stars from Daily Star and 4 out of 5 stars from Attitude, who highlighted Hyperlove’s emotional openness and bold, life-affirming sound.

The project reunites MIKA with producer Nick Littlemore (Empire of the Sun, PNAU, The Origin of Love) and features spoken-word appearances from legendary filmmaker and cultural icon John Waters, whose sharp and witty interludes add a distinctive narrative layer throughout the album.

But, not necessarily in that order.
