The singer-songwriter is set to play her first solo show in three years tonight (May 8) at the Liberty, a small club in Roswell, New Mexico.

It comes after a printed flyer advertising the show was found by a fan. Tickets are available at the venue’s box office today on a first-come, first-served basis, and no cameras, phones, smart glasses or other recording devices will be allowed inside.

The show is not yet listed on the 400-capacity club’s site, nor Bridgers’ own. See the flyer below.

Her last time performing solo was at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium in the spring of 2023, when she was an opening act on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

More recently, she performed with Boygenius – the trio of Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, though they announced they were going on hiatus after the completion of their critically acclaimed album ‘The Record’ in 2023, which was named our album of the year.

Back in December 2023, Boygenius told NME that they liked the idea of the band’s future remaining “a surprise”, with Baker saying: “I like having this band be something that, because it’s more ephemeral or whatever, it’s not concretely tied to one of us or a person we have to live in every day.

“It’s something we can revisit when we feel motivated to, or it’s a place we can retreat to. I like saving it as something sacred instead of feeling like I have to constantly grind on it.”

In other Bridgers news, rumours emerged last year that she might be set to appear in Primetime, an upcoming A24 film starring Robert Pattinson.

The movie reportedly follows a journalist – played by Pattinson – who ends up changing the landscape of television after taking on the undercover world of crime. It appears to have been inspired by the American reality series To Catch A Predator, and is due for release this September.

Her last solo album was 2020’s ‘Punisher’. That record scored Bridgers the fifth spot in NME‘s list of the best albums of the year, with its entry reading: “Introspective, with a sense of solitude woven throughout, ‘Punisher’ found Bridgers asserting herself as an individual force through self-production and pragmatic collaboration. The result: a multifaceted ode to embracing life’s oddities and living in the moment.”
