PinkPantheress is prepping a return this year. The 23-year-old English singer/songwriter born Victoria Walker who cancelled all her remaining 2024 tour dates in August — including planned gigs opening for Olivia Rodrigo and Coldplay and her own Capable of Love headlining tour — to focus on her “physical health and overall wellbeing” teased a re-emergence on her socials this week.

“oh we are soooo back #2025,” the “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2” singer wrote on X alongside two snaps of her working a laptop in what looks like a home studio. “i missed y’all [heart emoji] thanks for waiting on me.”
PP has been mostly off the radar since her August announcement, in which she wrote. “It is with the heaviest heart that sadly have to announce that i will not be able to continue with the rest of my live shows this year in order to focus on my physical health and overall wellbeing. It appears i have reached a wall which i am struggling to penetrate through. this will include my GUTS tour, Field Day, Summer Sonic, FORM, III Points, and Australia/NZ appearances.”
Though the news was disappointing, Pantheress promised fans at the time that she will be back on stage when she’s feeling better. “I would like to thank all of you, as well as my touring team and Olivia for giving me the platform to perform some super fun shows,” she said. “I’m sad to disappoint anyone and can only hope we will be in each other’s company once i return to health.”
Though no new music has been formally announced, the singer appears to have been working hard on her sophomore release, promising “new music soon” on Instagram last August.
PinkPantheress broke out in 2021 while still at university when she posted the single “Break It Off” on TikTok, which led to the 2022 release of her breakthrough single, “Boy’s a Liar,” later remixed with Ice Spice in a version that hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. She released her debut album, Heaven Knows, in 2023 and her most recent solo single was last year’s “Turn It Up“; she also appeared on 2024 collabs with Kaytranada (“Snap My Finger”) and Le Sserafim (“Crazy”).
