Alice Merton has undeniably become known as the girl with no roots. Born in Germany
and raised in Canada and England, Alice's songs always talked about celebrating life as a
nomad, and making a home wherever you want it to be. Since her debut "No Roots",
which came out in 2016, the last couple of years could fill an entire career: A billion
streams, Top 10 charts across Europe, playing Coachella, 8x Platinum, US-Gold, and the
release of two studio albums MINT and S.I.D.E.S. All done independent, everything
homemade!
Alice's latest chapter began in 2024 with the release of Heron. In this EP her thoughts turn
inwards, and instead of finding a home in the outside world, she went on an internal
journey of feeling lost on the inside and asking the question of all questions: who am I
supposed to be, and how well do you know yourself at all?
It questions one’s own happiness, in a world where we are constantly influenced by other
people’s opinions on what happiness is for them, especially through social media. It’s
become almost impossible to filter out the noise and truly ask ourselves “What is it that
we really want out of this life, and how well do we actually know ourselves at all? Can we
independently find happiness without being bombarded by everyone else’s definition of
what they think happiness is?“
All these questions are part of Heron, a name Alice decided on after landing yet again in a
new city, and observing these elegant birds in the middle of London-Barbican, an unusual
place you would think for such a bird, grazing away at midnight.
And now, Alice Merton is entering an exciting new chapter. After an US headline tour and
a summer filled with major European festivals in 2024, she's heading back on the road
this summer and fall — with a return to cities and countries she hasn’t played in for
years.
The tour kicks off in Canada this September, including long-awaited shows in Toronto,
Montreal and Québec City, before continuing through Europe in October and November
— with stops in Munich, Berlin, Prague, Milan, Paris and more.
This new run of shows promises not only a journey through all of Alice’s fan favourites
from No Roots to Heron, but also new music. Alice is ready to share the next evolution of
her sound and story with audiences around the world.
