Multi-platinum sensation Stephen Sanchez is officially stepping into a bold new era. With the announcement of his sophomore album, Love, Love, Love, set for release on 8 May via Mercury Records, the singer-songwriter is trading the monochromatic nostalgia of his debut for a vibrant, technicolor pop sound. While the title track is already making waves online, the real magic is expected to happen on stage as Sanchez prepares for a massive 2026 touring schedule.
From Glastonbury to Global Headliner
Sanchez is no stranger to the spotlight, having transitioned from viral success to sharing the stage with legends. After a career-defining performance of "Until I Found You" at Sir Elton John’s final Glastonbury set and a guest appearance at Lana Del Rey’s sold-out Fenway Park show, the bar for his live performances has been set incredibly high.
His previous "Angel Face" tour saw successive sold-out dates across North America and Europe, proving that his classic, crooner-inspired vocals translate powerfully to a live audience. For the upcoming cycle, fans can expect a shift in production. While his 2023 sets were defined by 50s and 60s reverb and character-driven storytelling, the Love, Love, Love tour promises a more modern, high-energy aesthetic that mirrors the "vivid new era" of his latest music.
What to Expect on the Road
Though specific venues for the summer and fall legs are being finalized, the momentum from his January single "SWEET LOVE"—which earned over 500,000 streams in a single day—suggests that Sanchez will be moving into larger arenas and premier festival slots. The new setlist will likely balance the multi-platinum hits that launched his career with the "technicolor pop" energy of the new record.
About the upcoming music and his connection to the audience, Sanchez shared:
"This record is inspired by the love I’ve been lucky enough to receive... and my desire to see people come together."
Stay tuned for official routing and ticket links, as this is shaping up to be the most ambitious live circuit of his career.
