If the beast must be fed, Kim Petras will happily oblige.
The “Coconuts” singer is readying the Friday release of her debut album, “Feed the Beast,” which will be supported by a 34-date world tour this fall.
Petras, 30, will kick off the outing Sept. 27 in Austin, Texas and hit North American cities including Miami, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Seattle before heading to Europe in early 2024.
Pre-sales begin Thursday, with the general on-sale at 10 a.m. local time Monday. Visit KimPetras.com for more information about tickets and VIP packages.
The German-born Petras, who made history earlier this year as the first transgender person to win a Grammy for best pop duo/group performance (“Unholy,” her smash collaboration with Sam Smith), graced the front of Sports Illustrated in May as one of four cover models for the magazine’s annual swimsuit edition.
Petras’ year has also earned her accolades from Variety (Innovator of the Year) and Billboard’s Women in Music (Chartbreaker). This spring, Petras released an appetizer for “Feed the Beast” with “Alone,” her duet with hip-hop star Nicki Minaj.
The track, one of 15 on Petras’ upcoming album, was a special accomplishment for the dance-pop singer, who told USA Today in April that working with Minaj was “a big dream … She’s so inspirational as a lyricist and she constantly pushes herself and always drops the freshest (music).”

Petras also shared that she’d been plotting details of her tour for months (“I know exactly what I want it to look like. I’ve sketched all of the outfits”) and that she’s pulled inspiration from Madonna’s 2006 Confessions tour, as well as live productions from Muse and German metal band Rammstein.
As part of the rollout for “Feed the Beast,” Petras will perform Friday on NBC’s “Today” show Citi Concert Series.
