Samantha Fish has announced the Paper Doll Live World Tour, a massive global run that will take her high-energy stage show across North America, the U.K., Europe, Australia, and Japan. The tour launches April 24 in New Orleans before expanding internationally. Tickets are on sale now.
The tour arrives on the heels of Fish’s ninth studio album, Paper Doll, which earned her a Grammy nomination in the Best Contemporary Blues Album category. The record further cemented her status as one of modern blues’ most commanding artists and was voted Blues Rock Review’s #1 Album of 2025, a testament to its impact with both critics and fans.
Fish continues to be one of the hardest-working performers in the genre, playing more than 250 shows annually while headlining major festivals and premier venues around the world. Her relentless touring schedule has helped build a reputation for explosive live performances that blend Mississippi Hill Country blues grit with arena-sized rock power.
The Kansas City native’s recent momentum includes a Grammy-nominated collaboration with Jesse Dayton on Death Wish Blues and a national television debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show. She has also shared stages with icons such as Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, and Buddy Guy, including a personal invitation from Clapton to perform at the Crossroads Guitar Festival.
With the Paper Doll Live World Tour, Fish looks poised to continue her ascent at the forefront of contemporary blues. She is also putting the finishing touches on a forthcoming live collection set for release later this spring, capturing the raw intensity and firepower that have become hallmarks of her performances.
Fans can expect a setlist packed with material from Paper Doll alongside highlights from her ever-expanding catalog as Fish brings one of the most electrifying shows in blues rock to stages around the globe.
