Julien Baker cancels tour with Torres to focus on health
Musician Julien Baker has canceled the remainder of her joint tour with fellow artist Torres to focus on her health, according to an official statement posted on her Instagram account on May 4, 2025.
The announcement confirmed the cancellation of all upcoming dates for the 'Send A Prayer My Way' tour, which was launched in support of the duo's new collaborative album of the same name. 'Due to recent events, Julien Baker is prioritizing her well-being and taking time to focus on her health,' the statement read. 'This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the disappointment this may cause for fans. We deeply appreciate your understanding.'
The tour, which began on April 23 in Richmond, was originally scheduled to run through September 13, with performances planned at major music festivals including Utah's Kilby Block Party, Oregon's Pickathon, the Newport Folk Festival, Outside Lands in San Francisco, Milwaukee's Summerfest, and Louisville's Bourbon and Beyond Festival.

Outside Lands 2025: Tyler, The Creator, Doja Cat, Hozier to headline star-studded Golden Gate festival
The highly anticipated Outside Lands Music Festival has officially unveiled its 2025 lineup, and it's shaping up to be one of the most impressive yet. Set to take place from 8–10 August at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, the festival will see headline performances from Tyler, The Creator, Doja Cat, and Hozier. Tyler, The Creator returns after a show-stopping set in 2021 and a missed opportunity last year. Doja Cat, fresh off a standout Coachella appearance, promises an electrifying blend of hip-hop and theatrical R&B. Hozier brings his signature Irish-influenced Americana to fill the rock slot at the top of the bill. The undercard boasts heavy hitters like John Summit, Vampire Weekend, Jamie xx, Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals, Glass Animals, Gesaffelstein, Gracie Abrams, and Doechii. South Africa's Black Coffee, rap icon Ludacris, and Vallejo's LaRussell also feature prominently. Local talent is well represented, with appearances from Destroy Boys, Tamalpais High's Midrift, and Infinite Jess. The lineup also includes a special collaboration between bounce legend Big Freedia and the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, promising a uniquely spirited performance. Baalti, Still Woozy, Claude VonStroke, DJ Koze, Mayer Hawthorne, and Floating Points add to a deep bench of talent that spans genres from electronic to soul to pop-punk. Outside Lands continues to elevate the festival experience with interactive installations like a wedding chapel and a cannabis-centric area, drawing over 75,000 attendees daily. The 2025 edition offers one of the strongest lineups in recent years, packed with diversity, creativity, and crowd appeal.

Lucy Dacus confirms relationship with boygenius bandmate Julien Baker
Singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus has confirmed her romantic relationship with fellow musician and boygenius bandmate Julien Baker. In an interview with The New Yorker published on March 17, Dacus revealed that her upcoming solo album, Forever Is A Feeling, is inspired in part by their relationship. The album is set for release on March 28, 2025. Speaking with journalist Amanda Petrusich, Dacus opened up about the balance between privacy and authenticity in her art. 'I want to protect what is precious in my life, but also to be honest,' she said. Dacus noted that while her relationship with Baker has influenced the album's emotional tone, the songs reflect a variety of experiences and people in her life. Among the tracks exploring personal themes is 'Most Wanted Man in West Tennessee', which includes a reference to Baker's hometown of Memphis. Dacus reflected, 'Maybe a healthier way to think about it is ... it's not actually fragile. These songs are about different people. But, you know, 'Most Wanted Man in West Tennessee' — what are you gonna do?' Though fans had long speculated about their connection, Dacus's comments mark her first direct confirmation of the relationship. She acknowledged that while most fans have respected their privacy, a few have made it feel threatened. Dacus and Baker, both 29, currently live together in Los Angeles near their boygenius collaborator Phoebe Bridgers. The trio remains close, even as the group is on an indefinite break following the success of their 2023 album The Record. Dacus explained that they had always intended to take time off after a year of touring and promotion. While Dacus focuses on her solo work, Baker is preparing to release a collaborative album with TORRES titled Send A Prayer My Way, due April 18, 2025. Together, their bond continues to shape not just their personal lives, but also the art they share with the world.
