GRAMMY-nominated indie icon Neko Case — “one of America's best and most ambitious singer-songwriters" (Rolling Stone) and “a badass of the highest order” (Pitchfork) — is announcing her fall North American tour today, crisscrossing the continent throughout October and November, including a stop at DPAC on October 5, 2025.

 

Tickets go on sale on Friday, April 18 at 10:00 AM:

• Online at DPACnc.com
• Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Ticket Center at DPAC: 919.680.2787,
  123 Vivian Street / William V. “Bill” Bell Way, Durham, NC
• Ticketmaster.com

 

These are Case’s first live musical performances since the January publication and book tour in support of her critically acclaimed memoir ‘The Harder I Fight The More I Love You’ which debuted at #5 on The New York Times Bestseller list. Case has also teased that a new studio album, her first in over seven years, is in progress in a recent profile by The New York Times pop critic Lindsay Zoladz.

 

Case has long been revered as one of music’s most influential artists, whose authenticity, lyrical storytelling, and sly wit have endeared her to a legion of critics, musicians, and lifelong fans. She is a founding member of Canadian indie-rock supergroup The New Pornographers, authors the weekly Substack newsletter “Entering the Lung”, and is currently composing the musical theater adaptation of the Academy Award-winning motion picture Thelma & Louise.

 

Released in 2022, ‘Wild Creatures’ — a twenty-three-song career-spanning compilation album celebrating Neko's two decades of solo work — is available now and accompanied by an immersive website containing animated artwork by Laura Plansker, short essays and track-by-track commentary. Contributors include long time collaborators A.C. Newman, Dan Bejar and M. Ward, culture-defining contemporaries David Byrne, Shirley Manson, Jeff Tweedy and Rosanne Cash and new generations of artists like Waxahatchee, Julien Baker, Kevin Morby, Allison Russell and Margo Price.

PRAISE FOR NEKO CASE

“Renowned for her indomitable singing, [Case] has always demonstrated an equally commanding voice as a songwriter, spelunking further and further into the human condition.” — Pitchfork, The 200 Most Important Artists of Pitchfork’s First 25 Years

 

“Case is known for her distinctive, flaming contralto and gothic Americana... Her lyrics – filled with folkloric wisdom, wildlife and natural imagery – invoke a world where human logic ranks second to animal instinct, and “civilization” is only a flimsy veneer over red-in-tooth-and-claw reality.” — The Guardian

 

“A cult-favorite singer-songwriter with a gale-force voice and a spiky, irreverent personality, Case has been releasing acclaimed solo and collaborative albums for nearly three decades and has built an adoring fan base.” — The New York Times

 

“Neko Case is one of those musicians that people have really strong personal attachments to, especially indie music lovers of a certain generation... what’s most distinct about her are her lyrics, which are often oblique. Like, a song seems to be about a car crash, but maybe it’s really about incomplete grief. You have to listen a few times before you get closer to it.” — The Atlantic

 

“Everything from country to folk, punk, rock and blues drew young Case into a musical orbit. Those same influences reverberate throughout her eclectic albums — unmistakably threaded through with her gravelly, gorgeous voice.” — Los Angeles Times

 

“Her songs are unique in their blend of menace and magic, throbbing with life that’s often diffusely under threat. The incantatory melodies of favorites like “Deep Red Bells,” which refers to Washington’s notorious and never-found Green River serial killer, or “Last Lion of Albion,” which locates the dormant spirit of an ancient beast on a British coin, create an aura of protection that counters the darkness.” — NPR Music
