This afternoon, Miley Cyrus sent out two bombshell tweets in typical Miley fashion.
If you were able to decipher them, you’d find this big news: Swedish pop sensation Icona Pop and Sky Ferreira will be joining the recently announced Bangerz tour.
I have long asserted that it was a shame that Cyrus used the title Bangerz before Icona Pop had the chance to grace one of their future non-stop, strobe-tastic albums with that title. Now, it seems that we’re getting the next best thing.
This is, of course, not the only connection between these four women before this day. Indeed, some of them are even real and tangible, not manufactured by my Twitter feed. A month ago, Cyrus tweeted out a picture of her and Ferreira, tongues wagging as proudly as at any VMA performance. A tip of the hat to Pitchfork for pointing that out. Soon, they will be able to do just that in front of thousands of people on a nightly basis.
Yes, in a year absolutely flooded with new music from fantastic young pop stars, the union of three (well, four) of those stars has also been announced. Miley released Bangerz somewhere amidst her many publicity stunts this year, Icona Pop unleashed their own slate of bangers in the punch-the-sky, party-all-night This Is… Icona Pop, and Sky Ferreira recently released her long-awaited, trend-obedient ’80s-sounding pop album.
This tour will undoubtedly be bonkers, both onstage and in the headlines. There has been no clarification yet as to whether they will be on the whole tour or only part of it – and if so, on which stretch of dates – but we will be sure to keep you updated.
Until then, just imagine the combinations this tour will give us. Icona Pop joining Cyrus for a shouted, over-the-top rendition of the already bizarre “We Can’t Stop.” Cyrus and Ferreira turning “Wrecking Ball” into a twice-as-powerful duet. It’s going to be like Christmas decided to stick around for an extra four months.
