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.

Tori Amos: American Doll Posse
Three stars
Proto-Newsom “goes sexy”. Blimey.
A new look, and a new sound for Tori Amos here. At least on “Big Wheel”, anyway—a stomping, whiskey-drenched country-rocker complete with slide guitar and a sleazy Tori boasting: “I am a M.I.L.F.” It’s more Lucinda Williams than Boys for Pele but is hardly typical of the rest of the other 20 songs. Some, such as “Fat Slut” and the mandolin-driven “Devils and Gods”, are mere fragments, but there are several major Amos compositions here, too, from the quirky dance-pop of “Bouncing Off Clouds” to the strings-and-piano-arpeggios of “Girl Disappearing”. After the difficult concepts of Scarlet’s Walk and The Beekeeper, American Doll Posse sounds like a return to more conventional songwriting form.
