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.
In an article originating from World Entertainment News Network, an entertainment news broker for the media, Tori is quoted as defending Britney Spears’ recent troubles. The brief article has been reprinted on several music news websites but the GlossLip gossip blog, rather thoughtfully, explores the issue.

Tori Amos Defends Britney Spears
Singer/songwriter Tori Amos has leaped to the defense of troubled pop star Britney Spears, insisting her recent rehab session was a revolt against her record label’s unreasonable demands.
Amos abhors how today’s music stars are encouraged to define themselves as a brand rather than stay true to their personality, and fears Spears’ breakdown was a result of this pressure.
She says, “Whether they’re selling perfume or a song, people have decided they’re a brand. Hollywood did a good job of creating icons in the 30s and 40s, they understood a story. Now, give ‘em a haircut and some clothes and they think they can pull off Aphrodite.
“Then you have situations like Britney shaving her head. I don’t think her sweet, saccharine image was close to who she really was, and she rebelled.”
