Two-time Grammy-nominated pop star Madison Beer brings “The Locket Tour” to San Diego. Fresh off releasing her most personal album yet, Beer performs at Gallagher Square on Sunday, June 21, 2026, with special guests Thủy and Lulu Simon. Expect powerful vocals, intimate storytelling, and the polished pop production that’s earned her platinum plaques and millions of devoted fans.
Madison Beer, born March 5, 1999 in Jericho, New York, has built one of pop music’s most compelling success stories—starting as a YouTube cover artist discovered by Justin Bieber at 13, evolving into a two-time Grammy-nominated platinum-selling artist with complete creative control over her sound.
In 2012, Beer was uploading cover songs to YouTube when Bieber tweeted a link to her rendition of Etta James’ “At Last” with the caption: “wow. 13 years old! she can sing. great job. #futurestar.” She went viral overnight, signed to Island Records, and was managed by Scooter Braun. But the fairy tale had a plot twist—Island dropped her in 2016 when she was just 16.
Getting dropped could have ended her career. Instead, it freed her. Beer went independent and released her breakthrough EP As She Pleases (2018), which included hits like “Dead” and “Home with You” (which reached No. 21 on Billboard’s Mainstream Top 40). The project showed she didn’t need major label machinery—she had the songs, the voice, and the audience.
She signed with Epic Records in 2019 and released her debut album Life Support (2021), featuring the fan-favorite “Selfish.” The album showcased her ability to blend:
Her sophomore album Silence Between Songs (2023) earned her first Grammy nomination for Best Immersive Audio Album—recognition for both her artistry and the technical excellence of the project. The album debuted on the Billboard 200, her second consecutive appearance on the chart.
In 2024, her single “Make You Mine” became a crossover smash, topping Billboard’s Dance Airplay chart and peaking at No. 10 on the Pop Airplay Chart. The track earned her second Grammy nomination (Best Dance Pop Recording), proving she could deliver radio hits without compromising her artistic identity.
Released January 16, 2026, Locket represents Beer’s most vulnerable and self-directed project. She co-wrote and co-produced the entire album, describing it as “a mosaic of memories and experiences” where each song serves as an emotional keepsake.
Recent singles leading into the album include “15 Minutes,” “Yes Baby,” and “Bittersweet”—all showcasing her evolution as both a vocalist and songwriter. This is Beer at her most confident, crafting pop music that doesn’t chase trends but creates them.
Beer is also one of the voices behind K/DA, the virtual K-pop group whose song “POP/STARS” became a global phenomenon. She’s performed at major festivals including Lollapalooza, collaborated with David Guetta, and built a social media following of over 75 million across platforms.
She’s also dating LA Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert—their relationship went public in late 2025, making them one of the NFL-music world’s newest power couples (though Beer was already a star in her own right before the relationship).
Here’s what makes a Madison Beer concert worth experiencing:
💡 For the uninitiated: Madison Beer represents the best of modern pop—polished but not synthetic, personal but not navel-gazing, ambitious but not overreaching. If you appreciate artists who take control of their narrative and sound, this show delivers.
Thủy and Lulu Simon bring complementary energy to the bill. Both artists represent the next generation of independent pop artists building careers on their own terms, making this a well-curated lineup that showcases different corners of contemporary pop and R&B.
