Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages since we often post quickie updates there when we're on-the-go.
During tours, we do our best to cover setlists in real-time on Twitter. If you want to tweet a show in, just DM or @ us on the day and tell us to watch your stream that night.
Tori is touring in 2017 to support the release of Native Invader. The European legs runs from early September through early October and the North American leg runs from late October to early December. We do not know if additional dates elsewhere will be added.
Be sure to check out our other sections, Tour — where setlists and other concert-related material will be updated daily while Tori is on tour — and You. Lots of interesting stuff!

“I’m 82, and I’m piloting a small plane that is buzzing the White House in protest of the incumbent president, who has outlawed all live music. I’ve just finished my last show on my last world tour and I run out of gas and crash into the West Wing gardens. That’s a good way to go, no?” — Tori Amos
This article is from the December 2006 issue of Q magazine in which the dreaded four-letter “K” word is used once again (will it ever stop?) and Tori gets the chance to orchestrate her own demise. Much thanks to Donna K. and menju56 for the transcriptions.
