This just in! XPN welcomes folk pop artist Maggie Rogers to Philadelphia in a surprise show at TLA. It’s a pop-up show to celebrate the announcement of the Maryland native’s new ten-track album, ‘Don’t Forget Me,’ on Friday, April 12, through Capitol Records and Debay Sounds. She’ll be performing at the Theater of Living Arts on Sunday the 14th, with tickets available exclusively in person at the box office at The Fillmore Philly.
Discovered at an NYU Masterclass by Pharell Williams, Rogers skyrocketed to fame with her hit single “Alaska.” Don’t Forget Me will be her third studio album, following her debut Heard it in a Past Life and sophomore album Surrender. Don’t Forget Me is produced by Rogers herself with Electric Lady Studio’s Ian Fitchuk aiding her on eight of the tracks.
Though the album is meant to feel like a road trip soundtrack, with the title folk-rock ballad alongside poppier songs like “So Sick of Dreaming,” also reflects Rogers’ winding career. In 2022, she graduated from Harvard Divinity School with a Master’s in Religion and Public Life. Her studies, she told the New Yorker, were an attempt to grapple with fame and resulting burnout, and move towards a more sustainable approach to her career.
Rogers also announced a massive fall tour — her first headlining arena run — and will be playing the Wells Fargo Center on October 15th, with ticket sales starting at the Fillmore’s box office on the 14th and eventually moving into online pre-sale land next week. Rogers is already writing songs for her next album.
