Hayley Kiyoko Plots First-Ever Tour Across The UK, Europe 

For the first time, rising pop singer/songwriter Hayley Kiyoko will make stops throughout Europe and the UK while on tour this October.

Currently, Kiyoko is supporting alternative-rock band Panic! At The Disco on tour across North America with A R I Z O N A and Max Frost. Her remaining dates include shows in cities like Dallas, Denver, Seattle, Portland, and Las Vegas, wrapping up on August 18.

She is slated to perform at Stony Pony Summer Stage in Ashbury Park, New Jersey at the end of August, and will take a break before the headlining trek begins. Late October, Kiyoko will cross the UK and make stops in France, Netherlands, and Belgium before ending in Germany on November 4 and 5.

VICE describes Kiyoko as “exactly what we need from a pop star in 2018.” Known as the ‘Lesbian Jesus,’ she is at the forefront of the queer-pop genre, taking #20GAYTEEN over with hits like “Girls Like Girls,” “Sleepover,” and “Curious.” Earlier this year, she released her debut record, Expectations , which featured the track “What I Need” with Kehlani.

According to NME , Kiyoko spoke out about her experience of coming out with the help of a fan.

“I came out to her and said, ‘I just want to sing about being cocky and stealing someone’s girl, because that’s my dream,’” Kiyoko said. “She told me to write about it.”

“I was shocked at how people weren’t judging me,” she said. “I was ready to be judged, and I was ready to be labelled. That was a moment for me where I was like, I can be myself and people are okay with that.”

Her indie, dream-pop tunes have racked up millions of streams and garnered enough attention to nominate the singer for Best New Artist and Best Push Artist at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, taking place later this month.

Hayley Kiyoko Controversy Explained: What Did She Say?

Back in May 2018, singer Kiyoko built controversy, saying Rita Ora’s song “Girls had a dangerous message.”

Her comment arrived shortly after Ora dropped her single and collaborated with Cardi B, Bebe Rhexa, and Charli XCS. 

The newcomer singer mocked Ora and said her song took inspiration from Katy Perry’s song I Kissed A Girl in 2008. 

Kiyoko described the viral trend of impersonating the LGBTQ community negatively as dangerous.

According to Teen Vogue, she called the message was harmful cliché, and they don’t know any better. The famous young star said about Girls drinking wine and how that’s a harmful cliché of the trend: 

I have loved girls my entire life and I don’t need to drink wine to kiss a woman. This type of sending wrong message is dangerous as it completely belittles the very pure feelings of an entire community.

The misinterpreted values invalidates the whole community and I feel like I have a responsibility to protect the purity whenever possible. We should do it better.

Despite the deep controversy, Rita responded to Kiyoko’s comments saying people should not be that narrow-minded. But, she later replied in a meaningful manner, saying: 

Actually It was not that deep. The song doesn’t try to convey a message or anything. It’s really is just about that.

It was just about fun, a fun record.

Kiyoko recently released album, Panorama, has released many songs, including Deep In The Woods, Chance, Underground, For The Girls, and more. 

It looks like she is all booked for this year as well.

Hayley Kiyoko

Hayley Kiyoko fans across the pond have plenty to celebrate, as all the stops in her first-ever European tour will now be hosted at larger venues to accommodate unprecedented audience demand.

A week after sharing dates for her Expectations European Tour — her inaugural tour outside the United States, with stops in London, Paris, Munich, Copenhagen and Antwerp — the “Curious” singer addressed a note to fans late Wednesday night that she would expand her tour to larger venues. Kiyoko also added another date in London, moving up her tour’s kick-off a day.

“I am beyond humbled by the love you’ve shown me for my Expectations European Tour,” Kiyoko gushes in the letter. “I’m happy to announce we’ve upgraded all venues to larger capacity, so I can see as many of you as I can.”

Trending on billboard.

The upgrade comes as welcome news to Kiyoko’s European fans. A minor uproar brewed among a subset of Lesbian Jesus devotees after the tour was originally announced, who lamented that ticket sales were bogged down by the usual culprits for hotly-buzzed tours. “I’m just disappointed the tour finally came and loads of us can’t go because of small venues and ticket resellers,” tweeted one Kiyoko stan.

The Expectations European Tour will commence in earnest at London’s O2 Academy Islington on October 23, 2018, and conclude November 7, 2018 at the Iceland Airwaves Festival in Reykjavik.

Kiyoko is currently on the road with Panic at the Disco as part of their Pray for the Wicked tour, which will finish up on Aug. 18 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Expectations , Kiyoko’s debut album, vaulted to No. 12 in its first week on the Billboard 200 , marking Kiyoko’s first appearance on the chart.

Hayley Kiyoko and Becca Tilley's Relationship Timeline

Hayley Kiyoko and Becca Tilley have been dating since 2018 but did not publicly confirm their romance until 2022

After years of romance rumors, singer Hayley Kiyoko and Bachelor Nation's Becca Tilley confirmed their relationship in 2022.

The couple debuted their romance at the release party for Kiyoko's single "For The Girls." During the event, Kiyoko pulled the reality star on stage, where they shared a hug and kiss.

The singer later revealed on Instagram that she and Tilley had been dating for four years and first met in 2018.

Though Tilley told PEOPLE she was off the market in 2018, she was hesitant to share details about her life with Kiyoko given her past public romances — particularly her year-long relationship with Bachelor Nation's Robert Graham .

"It feels really good," Kiyoko told PEOPLE shortly after going public with Tilley. "I mean, we lived a very normal life. It just wasn't on social media. We lived very open.
