Grace Ives brings Girlfriend tour to Dallas

Grace Ives plays Club Dada in Dallas on 13 May with Hollis Howard, continuing the live run behind her 2026 album Girlfriend. Ives’ music works because it feels compact without feeling small. Her songs often run on clipped synth-pop hooks, direct phrasing and nervous emotional detail, making them sound like inner monologues that accidentally became danceable.

Girlfriend, released via True Panther/Capitol, was written and produced with Ariel Rechtshaid and John DeBold, with Dave Fridmann mixing, and the album has been framed as a move from escape toward exploration. That idea fits her live presence well. In a room like Club Dada, the songs can stay intimate while still hitting with pop immediacy.

The Dallas date is a strong 13 May indie-pop item because it places Ives in the active touring cycle at a moment where she is refining her identity: strange, catchy, self-aware and increasingly confident.
