Japanese Breakfast to Open for Chappell Roan on Fall U.S. Tour

Japanese Breakfast joins Chappell Roan’s fall tour, bringing indie vibes to key U.S. dates and festival stages.

Japanese Breakfast Kicks Off with Chappell Roan This Fall

If you’ve been craving a fresh indie-pop pairing this season, Japanese Breakfast is stepping in to warm up Chappell Roan’s fall U.S. tour. Michelle Zauner and her band are set to open three major shows this fall, including two at the iconic Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York (September 20 and 24), and a hometown show on October 3 in Kansas City, Missouri, for Roan. As a longtime fan, I can tell you — this combination promises an emotional, melodic ride you'll want to catch live.

Wrapping Up a Summer Tour, Gearing Up for Fall Festivals

Just last week, Japanese Breakfast wrapped up their summer North American tour promoting their latest album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women). One standout moment was their August show at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, where they made a surprise two-song guest appearance with Beck — talk about a memorable night! With this momentum, they’re not slowing down. After supporting Roan’s tour dates, Japanese Breakfast will be gracing several fall festivals, including Austin City Limits, Mexico City’s Hypgnosis, and Night Moves in Pensacola, Florida. It’s the perfect season to soak in their ethereal, dreamy sounds outdoors.

An Original Tune for a Star-Studded Rom-Com

Earlier this summer, Michelle Zauner and Japanese Breakfast also lent their talents to the soundtrack of the romantic comedy Materialists. Directed by Celine Song and starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans, the film’s soundtrack was released by A24 Music and features the new original track “My Baby (Got Nothing At All).” As a fan, hearing their new music in such a cinematic context was a joyful surprise, expanding their reach beyond just the indie scene.

Chappell Roan’s Fall Tour Highlights and New Singles

Speaking of Chappell Roan, she’s set to close out her fall tour with two shows on October 10 and 11 at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Fans have already been treated to two singles this year: the country-tinged “The Giver” and the more recent “The Subway.” Although it’s still a mystery when Roan will drop the next full album following her 2023 breakthrough The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, these singles hint at exciting new directions.

“She’s released two singles so far this year: the country-leaning ‘The Giver’ and last month’s ‘The Subway,’ although it’s unknown when she will unveil the proper follow-up to her 2023 breakthrough.”

These tour dates aren’t just about the music — they’re a celebration of evolving artistry. Japanese Breakfast’s atmospheric indie-pop collides beautifully with Chappell Roan’s raw emotional storytelling, creating a live experience that’s as immersive as it is intimate. Having followed both artists closely, I’m especially thrilled to see them share stages and festivals this fall. If you get a chance to catch these shows, consider yourself lucky.
