Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH — June 13, 2024

Melanie Martinez is currently embarking on her Trilogy tour, a homage to all three of her projects. The tour takes fans on a journey, going in chronological order through her albums Crybaby, K-12, and Portals. Even though her earliest album, Crybaby, is nearly 10 years old the performance felt fresh and perfectly tied to her most recent work. The world building is so prevalent in Melanie’s music and shows itself in her tour, visualizing her albums in a tangible way and tying together each album beautifully.
