Finn Wolfhard announces details of 2025 UK and European tour
Titled Objection!, it is in support of the 21-year-old Stranger Things actor's debut solo album Happy Birthday.
Finn, who previously fronted the bands Calpurnia and The Aubreys, released the album in June, accompanied by the nostalgic lead single Choose The Latter and the reflective track Trailers After Dark.
He will kick off the Objection! tour on 4 October with a show at La Maroquinerie in Paris, before continuing through Berlin, Manchester and Dublin.
The run will conclude with a headline performance at London's Electric Brixton on 16 October.
Speaking to NME earlier this year, Finn reflected on the creative process behind the album and credited his Stranger Things co-stars Joe Keery and Maya Hawke as key musical influences.
He said: '(Joe) was a gigantic inspiration to me and another mentor.
'While filming, Joe and Maya were part of a fun group chat challenge where they would both write and submit a song every week.
'And I still text Joe to ask him what he thinks about song ideas. I'm hoping we can make music together – even if I wasn't credited.'
Joe, 32, who plays Steve Harrington in Stranger Things, performs under the moniker Djo and released his third album The Crux in 2023.
Finn joined Joe on stage in Toronto earlier this year for a live performance of Flash Mountain, a track from Djo's 2019 debut album Twenty Twenty.
The actor's tour news arrives alongside the continued expansion of the Stranger Things franchise.
A new animated spin-off, Stranger Things: Tales From '85, is in production at Netflix.
The show is being executive-produced by Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer, alongside Shawn Levy, 55, who directed Deadpool and Wolverine.
No casting or plot details have yet been confirmed.
In a statement to Netflix's Tudum, the Duffer brothers said: 'We've always dreamed of an animated Stranger Things in the vein of the Saturday morning cartoons that we grew up loving, and to see this dream realised has been absolutely thrilling.'
They continued: 'We couldn't be more blown away by what Eric Robles and his team have come up with – the scripts and artwork are incredible, and we can't wait to share more with you! The adventure continues… .'

Emily in Paris actor claims he was ‘fired' from upcoming season of Netflix show
British actor Rupert Everett has claimed he was 'fired' from Emily in Paris. The My Best Friend's Wedding star, 66, appeared in the most recent series of the Netflix hit, playing interior designer Giorgio Barbieri, an old friend of Sylvie Grateau (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu). The characters reunite in Rome, where a bulk of the fourth season was filmed, when Sylvie calls on Giorgio for a favour. And while Leroy-Beaulieu, 62, told media last year working with Everett was one of her highlights of filming, Everett has now claimed he will not be back for the fifth season. 'I was fired,' he bluntly told Vanity Fair. 'I did a scene in the latest season, and they told me, 'Next year we'll speak.' 'I waited for them to call me — but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me. 'Show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end. When they write the screenplay, they think they want you, but then things change, and they lose your character. I don't know why. 'For me, it was a tragedy. I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn't get over it.' Vanity Fair claimed a production source said Everett was simply let go because his character's story had come to an end, while Netflix declined to comment. Leroy-Beaulieu previously told People during promo for the series she 'had so much fun' shooting alongside Everett. 'It was so much fun because his personality is crazy,' the French actress said. 'That was a really great moment.' Meanwhile, the core cast began production on the upcoming fifth series of the frothy drama in May. Shooting picked up in Rome, Italy, where the titular character Emily (played by Lily Collins) moved at the end of last season to establish a local office for her Paris-based PR firm, Agence Grateau, while also forging a new romance with Italian fashion business owner Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini). 'The cast and crew of Emily in Paris are thrilled to begin filming Season 5 in the Eternal City,' creator Darren Star said. 'From Parisian rooftops to Roman ruins, we can't wait to share where Emily's next chapter takes us.' It's expected to drop on the platform later this year.

Logies 2025: Kate Miller-Heidke on her first nomination and new coaches on The Voice
Kate Miller-Heidke has gone from performing at the Logies two years ago to being nominated for a prestigious award as a coach on The Voice. The 43-year-old singer, who grew up in Brisbane 'far away from the showbiz world', said she was 'absolutely chuffed' to be nominated for her first Logie in the most popular new talent category. She is up for the award alongside Guy Montgomery from his ABC spelling bee series, Home and Away's Hailey Pinto, Jenny Tian from Taskmaster, Kylah Day for her role in Netflix show Territory and MasterChef's Sofia Levin. The winners will be announced at Sunday's ceremony in Sydney. The Caught in the Crowd singer said she felt like a bit of a 'fraud' to be nominated as a new talent nearly 20 years after her first album and TV appearance. 'TV is not my world. As a musician, it was something entirely new for me when I started on The Voice last year, but it's just been so much fun and such a gift to my life,' she said. 'It's just amazing to be embraced by this new world.' While it's her first nomination, attending the Logies isn't her first rodeo, having sung Olivia Newton-John's Xanadu at the event two years ago as a tribute to the late star. She was also in attendance last year when The Voice took out the best entertainment program award. 'I love it. Personally, I think it's much more fun than the ARIAs,' she said. 'The after-party is pretty amazing. There are just so many interesting people and a really eclectic mix of people who write shows and create shows, actors and comedians and people in the news.' Miller-Heidke said it would be 'incredible' if she won, but was 'keeping my expectations low'. The classically trained singer will enter another season of The Voice this year alongside a slew of new judges, including Ronan Keating, Spice Girls' Melanie C and Richard Marx. 'I was nervous to meet them all at first, because I was the only returning coach (and only Australian),' she said. 'I always have a bit of imposter syndrome when it comes to meeting these massive stars, because, you know, I'm just this little Australian singer-songwriter. And I'm sure they're thinking, 'Who the hell is this?' But they were all so warm and so lovely. We all became really great friends. 'I was incredibly star struck by Mel C, I grew up in the era of the Spice Girls, so that was massive. And I was a massive fan of Richard and Ronan's. And Ronan is just the most lovely, charming man you'll ever come across.' Despite all the coaches getting on and bringing the good vibes, Miller-Heidke said she definitely felt former coach Guy Sebastian's absence. 'It did feel sort of like the end of an era in that way, because he really sort of dominated that show for so long,' she said. Miller-Heidke said she loved being involved in the hit show due to its dedication to live music. 'I love being able to work with young artists and help them to realise what their strengths are,' she said. 'Some of them are just incredible. And I also love being part of a show that's one of the only shows on TV that still has live music.' While she is a mentor for aspiring singers, Miller-Heidke has found herself searching for her own mentors as she gets older. 'I think it can be invaluable,' she said. 'I've been lucky enough to have Tina Arena on speed dial for a few years now. She's always up for a good chat.' Away from The Voice, Miller-Heidke has been in the UK mixing her new record, which she hoped would be released at the end of the year. She also wrote songs for Muriel's Wedding the Musical, which just opened in Leicester to rave reviews.
