Magdalena Bay add Phoenix show to September-October tour

Recently, we presented a list of the 15 albums you should have heard in 2024. If said list had been 16 albums instead, we certainly would have told you to also spin "Imaginal Disk" by Miami pop duo Magdalena Bay.

How could we ever make up for this profound shortcoming? Well, would it help at all if we told you they were coming to Phoenix this fall? Specifically, you've got to 223 days to position "Imaginal Disk" as an integral part of your daily life before the band play Arizona Financial Theatre on Tuesday, Sept. 23. This leg in September and October follows an equally packed tour schedule across Australia, Europe and the U.S. for late spring into summer.

If you are just hearing about Magdalena Bay for the first time in recent weeks.months, you're in for a real treat. "Imaginal Disk" really is one of the finest pop LPs to drop in 2024 (which felt like a big year for the "genre"). The duo's second album, "Imaginal Disk" is this big, bright dance-pop record that balances retro vibes and romantic nostalgia; intensity and intimacy; and musical innovation with warmth and familiarity. It is, in short, something truly transformative and important that clearly and impressively demonstrates the true and daring heart of pop music in 2025.
Tickets are on sale Friday, Feb. 14 at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
