The multi-platinum star is making her long-awaited comeback with new music, a global mini-tour, and an intimate docuseries revealing her creative rebirth.
It’s the comeback fans have been waiting for — Hilary Duff is officially returning to music. The singer, actress, and producer has announced her first live performances in over a decade, unveiling the “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” global shows scheduled for January 2026.
The mini-tour begins at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London (Jan 19) before traveling to Toronto’s HISTORY (Jan 24), Brooklyn Paramount in New York (Jan 27), and wrapping up at The Wiltern in Los Angeles (Jan 29). Each venue was chosen for its intimate size, giving fans a rare, up-close connection with the pop star who defined a generation.
The announcement follows Duff’s highly praised new single, “Mature,” her first release in a decade. The song reflects on youthful love and self-growth with Duff’s trademark honesty and charm. Written with Matthew Koma and Madison Love, the track represents an evolution in sound — sleek, confident, and refreshingly self-aware. The accompanying music video, directed by Lauren Dunn (Olivia Rodrigo, Dove Cameron), brings the story to life with cinematic emotion and nostalgic flair.
Media outlets have quickly hailed “Mature” as a triumphant return to form. Vogue described it as “a perfect point of re-entry,” while Rolling Stone called it “a shimmery pop-rock bop,” adding that the single captures everything fans love about Hilary’s voice and personality.
Tickets for “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” go on sale November 14 via Ticketmaster, with artist presale registration open now. Fans who sign up can access the sale directly through their Ticketmaster accounts — no special code required.
Duff shared her excitement in a heartfelt statement: “It’s happening. I’m over the moon to be stepping on stage again. I’ve got some new songs that I can’t wait to share with you — and of course some old favorites we can scream together. It’s been a minute, and I’ve missed you.”
Her return to music will also be documented in an upcoming docuseries directed by Sam Wrench, whose previous work includes Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. The series promises to capture Duff’s personal and creative evolution — from balancing motherhood to rediscovering her musical voice.
With a renewed sense of purpose and a sound that bridges nostalgia with modern pop energy, Hilary Duff’s 2026 comeback is shaping up to be one of the year’s most exciting music moments.
