Tori Amos has announced the release of her upcoming studio album, In Times of Dragons, arriving in spring 2026 alongside her most extensive European tour in over a decade.

Since the release of her groundbreaking debut Little Earthquakes in 1992, the North Carolina-born singer, pianist, and songwriter has built a remarkable body of work defined by fearless storytelling and a distinctive musical voice. In Times of Dragons, Amos’ 18th studio album, continues this legacy, offering a powerful message of resistance and freedom. It might be the artist’s most political record so far.

Speaking about the record, Amos explains: “In Times of Dragons is a metaphorical story about the fight for democracy over tyranny, reflecting the abhorrent and deliberate dismantling of democracy in real time by the ‘dictator-believing lizard demons’ attempting to usurp America.”

The release will be accompanied by a European tour across 17 countries in April and May 2026. Joining Amos on stage will be longtime collaborators Jon Evans (musical director and bass) and Ash Soan (drums), along with backing vocalists Liv Gibson, Deni Hlavlinka, and Hadley Kennary. The shows will feature new material from In Times of Dragons alongside highlights from Amos’ acclaimed 35-year career, that has earned eight Grammy nominations and over 12 million albums sold worldwide.

With In Times of Dragons, Amos once again merges the political and the personal, crafting a body of work that speaks urgently to the present moment.
