King Princess is a Brooklyn-based artist, actor, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer. Released in 2022, the artist's sophomore effort, Hold On Baby, received widespread critical acclaim, landing at #7 on Rolling Stone's Best Albums of 2022 as well as the cover of the June digital issue, which praised her as an "indie-pop visionary." Pitchfork named the album to their Best Progressive Pop Music of 2022, calling it "the work of a keen-eared musician coming into their own as a producer and stylist." They supported the record with an epic six single roll out--"Little Bother," "For My Friends," "Cursed," "Too Bad," "Change the Locks," and lastly the Taylor Hawkins-assisted "Let Us Die," which KP performed on Jimmy Fallon Live and Rolling Stone called "The Banger of the Year." The record received airplay and support across properties like Apple Music, BBC 1 + 2, as well as hundreds of Spotify NMF playlists worldwide. The artist supported the album with massive crowds at Lollapalooza and on their North American headline Hold On Baby Tour, as well as supporting Florence + The Machine, Kacey Musgraves, The Strokes, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Most recently they appeared on the Boyish single "Kill Your Pain", and treated fans to a live version when they brought the duo out in support on European Headline dates last Summer. It received all the familiar accolades and became an instant fan favorite.
King Princess is currently preparing to roll out their third LP offering later this year. They star alongside Nicole Kidman in Season 2 of Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu, premiering May 21st, as well as Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in the film Song Sung Blue, to be released on Christmas Day.

best show ever saw her at the commodore ballroom in Vancouver! absolutely fantastic show she sounds the best live!
King Princess put on an awesome concert and she looked like she was having a great time which always makes the show better. Despite being a sold out show, the venue seemed intimate and was easily viewable from anywhere in the room. I seemed to miss when this happened but the Vancouver ticket holders picked the setlist for the show so I got to hear some of my favourite songs that she wouldn't have played otherwise. The excitement of the crowd at the first few notes of some of the lesser known songs was incredible. The girls at the front of the stage making out and throwing elbows at everyone in their way was frustrating to everyone around them, myslef included, but KP and The Commodore Ballroom can't be blamed for inconsiderate ticket holders. 10/10 would see KP and go to the Commodore again.
The event was moved to another location which was fine but i found the management of the lines were bad. Performance wise, KING PRINCESS WAS AMAZING!!!
I feel like I ascended to a level of consciousness that is only possible on drugs but I was sober. KP hypnotized me and my life will never be better than it was on Friday. I was depressed for 3 days because that moment will be lost in time. I’m going to spend the rest of my life sad but also a better person because anyone that’s been to a KP show is a better person for it. I will spend any amount of money to see KP again, I will travel distances. I will miss birthdays and graduations. The only true measurement of time is days until next KP show. I gave a double thumbs up and they laughed and I nearly peed myself. Going in I was funny, smart, stubborn and gay among many other traits but my whole being collapsed into only being gay and now that is 100% of who i am instead of my normal 69% gay. I feel like I saw time collapse into a point which was a KP show. I will never be the same, the show changed the course of my life in a way I don’t know yet. The last song was Let Us Die and I wish I had because my life will never be as good as it was at that show. I was so tired but KP is a superhuman and was jumping around the whole time it was insane and I just want KP to know it’s ok to drink water. If you do ONE thing in life GO TO A KING PRINCESS SHOW.
King Princess is a star, an icon, and a young emboldened queer Prince. Such talent and presence in one so young. Was electrifying to see them in person and witness the spectacle of someone bound for rock greatness. Her crew is equally amazing. Felt like a privilege to witness the show.
She’s so good and the set was great, everything was awesome
Great show. Great venue. I would definitely recommend checking out both.
King Princess was everything I hoped for and more. Her talent and charisma and VOICE my god.
She is the best proformer. She is hilarious and has a really good stage presents. Saw her at History in Toronto and will never forget it!!!
I’ve been Hold On Baby Tour 3 times and still wanna go more
