German promoter information highlights Berlin and Düsseldorf as the only two German shows on this run, underscoring how concentrated the routing is for fans in the country compared to more extensive North American schedules. Live Nation’s German listing confirms the Berlin date for January 23, 2026 at Velodrom, while additional listings on local ticket portals such as Ticketmaster and Eventim align on the same dates and venues for both cities. This gives Berlin and Düsseldorf a clear priority for fans from across Germany who want to experience the tour.

Beyond Germany, the Back to Badlands tour begins in Los Angeles on October 14, 2025 at Hollywood Forever’s Fairbanks Lawn before moving through major North American cities.

In Europe, the tour moves from Amsterdam’s AFAS Live on January 22, 2026 directly into the German dates in Berlin and Düsseldorf, then continues to Paris for two nights at L’Olympia, Manchester’s Aviva Studios and a three-night stand at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. The final leg in February 2026 takes Halsey to Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, Brisbane’s Riverstage and Melbourne’s Festival Hall, underlining how the German shows sit at the heart of the European portion of the itinerary. For fans planning travel, this means that the Berlin and Düsseldorf concerts act as the principal German touchpoints in an otherwise tightly scheduled international run.

Deluxe edition of The Great Impersonator
Alongside the tour, Halsey is extending the life of her fifth studio album The Great Impersonator with a deluxe edition that adds several new songs. According to Columbia Records and multiple music outlets, The Great Impersonator (Deluxe) was released on May 1, 2026, expanding the original October 25, 2024 album with additional tracks such as Carry the Weight and Lucid that had already been tested in recent live sets.

The deluxe version reportedly adds around six new songs and pushes the total track count on streaming services like Apple Music to roughly 25, turning the album into one of Halsey’s most extensive projects to date. In the context of her discography, it means that the album’s narrative, originally tied to health struggles and a concept-driven structure, now has a broader sonic and lyrical palette than the first release. For fans in Germany who will see the Back to Badlands tour, this dual focus on an anniversary tour and a fresh deluxe release captures Halsey’s current balance between looking back and moving forward.
The musical core of Halsey’s current era
The Great Impersonator marks Halsey’s fifth studio album and her first full-length project with Columbia Records, following earlier releases such as Badlands, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, Manic and If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power. The latest record leans into a pop-rock and alternative sound, with concept-album elements tied closely to her personal health story and a focus on dynamic contrasts between quieter, introspective songs and more aggressive tracks like Carry the Weight.
In performance, this era blends the darker, industrial-tinged textures of If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power with the more melodic, hook-driven style that first brought Halsey to wider attention. That makes The Great Impersonator (Deluxe) a pivot point between her earlier mainstream pop success and a more experimental approach, while the Back to Badlands tour simultaneously reconnects her with the cinematic synth-pop of her 2015 debut.
What’s next for Halsey
As of late August 2026, the next officially documented tour dates for Halsey remain the completed Back to Badlands run, which closed in February 2026, and the most recent major release is The Great Impersonator (Deluxe) from May 1, 2026.
