Grace Ives has announced her first headline world tour, sharing a video for her Janky Star track ‘On the Ground’ to mark the news. The tour kicks off in her home city of Brooklyn and includes dates in Philadelphia, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more, before Ives heads to Europe in November. Tickets go on sale this Friday, June 10 at 10am. Check out the Sara Magenheimer-directed visual for ‘On the Ground’ and find the full list of dates below.
“Grace was one of my students who eventually became my assistant and friend,” Magenheimer explained in a statement. “I have been rooting for her for years, so in a way this video is a love letter to her, a way of showing how much I see in her and how truly incredible I believe she is. This video is also a celebration of music videos as an art form. I referenced Warhol’s work for MTV and Deee-Lite’s videos to honor the way in which this humble form has acted as a Trojan Horse, bringing experimental moving image art into homes across the world. I love the punk vibe of this medium and this video embraces its young wild history.”
