GLAIVE - God Save The Three Tour

glaive is playing Wonder Ballroom on Wednesday, October 14, as part of the North American leg of the God Save The Three tour. He's bringing Tiffany Day along as special guest, and the show starts at 8 PM. The tour is a 23-date run that goes from September 25 to October 28, and it's sticking to club-capacity rooms.

The tour is built around God Save The Three, a 12-track collaborative album glaive made with Welsh producer kurtains. It's their first full studio album as a duo, and a good chunk of it came together during sessions in the Cotswolds, though early songs like "Weston Super Mare" and "Crisis" took shape in Asheville. If you've been following him, that's the new material you'll be hearing live.

For those who might be coming to him from this record, there's a bit of a story there. glaive, born Ash Blue Gutierrez in Florida and raised in Hendersonville, North Carolina, first broke out in 2020 while still in high school with underground hyperpop hits that led to an Interscope deal. His 2023 debut, I Care So Much That I Don't Care At All, helped push hyperpop from an internet micro-genre into the mainstream. His second album, May It Never Falter, recorded in Iceland and Wales, was named one of the best of 2024 by Vogue. He works with a tight-knit team that includes John Cunningham, Ralph Castelli, and Jeff Hazin.

So, the set will be built on God Save The Three, but it's sitting alongside those earlier records. Tickets are $45 to $50, and the show is at Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell St, Portland, OR 97212, on Wednesday, October 14, starting at 8 PM.
