Lucy Dacus will officiate wedding ceremonies for fans on Forever Is A Feeling Tour
The Best Guess singer has the power to help audience members tie the knot and intends to go ahead with the plan on her Forever Is A Feeling Tour, which gets underway in Philadelphia on Friday (25.07.25), after the idea proved popular when she proposed it on social media.
Lucy wrote on Instagram: "I asked last week if people would be interested if I figured out how to officiate weddings from the stage and many people said yes, so we made a Google form to sign up – it'll be in my bio.
"I'm officiated in the US, only a few cities on this tour may not be possible, all the info is at the website, including how to get your marriage licence by state."
The Boygenius star added: "I can think of all sorts of reasons why people may be interested in securing the right granted through marriage (you know what I mean?), so if you've had it in mind forever or are just recently making the decision, I will be honoured to do the honours!"
Lucy has launched an information page on her website for fans who are interested in getting hitched at one of the gigs and thinks that the process "seems like it will be pretty easy".
The 30-year-old singer said: "You'll just need to bring your marriage licence to the box office and we'll return it by the end of the show."
Lucy released the Forever Is a Feeling album in March and explained that she made a unique sound on the album through "horror strings" that saw pianos played in unconventional fashion.
She recalled: "We made these horror strings that were basically us scraping our hands and nails and different tools on piano strings. So we played it like a string instrument, even though it's a piano, and they sound very like a horror soundtrack.
"Everyone that opened the session after that was like, 'Horror strings? What are you talking about?' It's hard to explain. It's not like an instrument... like drums or bass, but being like, 'Uh, the piano strings that we played with weird objects.' Horror strings was just a concise and cute way to say what that was."

Google cancels parliamentary lobbying concert at last minute after YouTube ban
Global tech giant Google has cancelled a parliamentary concert featuring rock band The Rubens at the last minute after federal Labor announced YouTube would be added to Australia's social media ban for under 16s. Google, which owns YouTube, said it had decided to cancel the event hours before it was scheduled to start out of respect for the parents of children who died after being exposed to harmful material online. The parents had appeared with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday morning to support his government's decision to ban YouTube logins for children, though the site will still be accessible to people who access its website without signing in. In an email seen by this masthead, Google confirmed the event would be cancelled. 'Out of respect for grieving families who have gathered in Parliament House today, we have decided to postpone the annual Google at Parliament House event,' the email said. 'We apologise for the late notice, and appreciate your understanding. We will be in touch with a new date as soon as possible.' One source confirmed The Rubens, whose song Hoops topped the Triple J Hottest 100 in 2015, had to pack up their set halfway through getting ready for the concert. Google's event was scheduled to take place in the Great Hall of Parliament House in Canberra, the hiring of which typically requires months of notice and significant cost. It is the public centrepiece in Australia of the $US2.37 trillion ($3.6 trillion) the tech giant spends globally on lobbying each year.

Encore: What does a 'disaster specialist' actually do and how do they survive?
When Lucy Easthope was 10 years old, she was at home with her dad watching a Liverpool Football Club match when all hell broke loose. The Hillsborough Disaster, as it came to be known, was a fatal crowd crush that killed almost 100 people and as Lucy and her dad watched it all unfold on the television, she remembers him shouting, "Someone needs to sort this!" That formative experience inspired Lucy to go on to become what's called an 'emergency planner' or 'disaster specialist'. When a plane crashes, a bomb explodes, a city floods or a virus spreads across the planet, Lucy's phone begins to ring and she springs into action. Further information When the Dust Settles is published by Hodder & Stoughton. Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.
