Since the release of breakout 2022 album five seconds flat, Lizzy McAlpine has kept busy with two subsequent LPs and acting debuts on both the movie screen and Broadway stage. On Thursday, she started filling her 2027 calendar by announcing “The Over Country Tour” that will visit Milwaukee’s Riverside Theater on May 10.
The Pennsylvania native isn’t messing around with this effort to promote newly released album Angel, plotting stops in Australia, Europe, the U.K. and North America. Her performance in Milwaukee falls toward the beginning of that final geographic leg and will feature support from opener Sydney Ross Mitchell.
To score tickets to the May 10 show at the Riverside Theater, you can register for the artist presale on McAlpine’s website. Pabst Theater Group eMember presale starts at noon next Thursday, Oct. 1, with the general sale kicking off at 10 a.m. the following day online via AXS and at the Pabst/Riverside box offices.
Artist bio
“I use music and art as a way to process the world around me, and this album feels like a journal entry from 2024-2026.”
That’s how Lizzy McAlpine views the just-released Angel, adding that “I hope that it brings you peace, comfort, love and most of all HOPE!!! Hope that personal growth and change, while it can be painful and hard, can also lead you to a place that is better than where you started.”
The record marks a clear sonic expansion for McAlpine — a rich tapestry of classic and contemporary influences, from ’70s Laurel Canyon folk to 21st-century indie. Written during a period of profound self-discovery, it chronicles McAlpine’s return to self through the themes of love, heartbreak, and the endurance of community and friendship.
Angel follows the success of McAlpine’s 2024 album Older, which received widespread critical acclaim and was followed by an extensive international tour, performing sold-out nights at Radio City, the Greek Theatre and venues across the U.K., Australia and Europe. The deluxe edition, Older (and Wiser), featured Platinum-Certified "Spring Into Summer," Gold-Certified "Pushing It Down and Praying" and Gold-Certified “Staying.”
Since her last album, McAlpine has broadened her artistic scope across the screen and stage. Earlier this year, she made her first-ever film appearance in Jamie Adams’ Only What We Carry, which had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. In 2025, she made her Broadway debut in the much-lauded Floyd Collins at Lincoln Center Theater opposite Jeremy Jordan, with a performance the New York Times called “a vocal wow of a Broadway debut.” This fall, McAlpine will perform at Carnegie Hall's A Celebration of Rodgers & Hart on October 5 alongside a star-studded lineup of Broadway performers.
Born outside Philadelphia, Lizzy gained early recognition for her original songs and covers online before releasing her debut album, Give Me A Minute, in 2020. Solidifying herself as a rising force and amassing thousands of devoted fans, Lizzy’s widely successful second studio album, five seconds flat, was released to critical acclaim in the spring of 2022 and featured Platinum-certified track “ceilings.”
