Dublin indie artist Orla Gartland is gearing up for her first-ever North American tour, but the financial realities of touring are hitting hard. Despite selling out every night of her 13-date tour, Gartland expects to lose around $40,000 on the venture. The cost of touring has skyrocketed, making it increasingly challenging for artists to make ends meet on the road.
Gartland’s new album, Everybody Needs A Hero, has received rave reviews, with critics praising her evolution as an artist and her bold, rebellious sound. The album delves into the complexities of relationships, offering a raw and honest portrayal of love and loss.
While Gartland is excited to bring her new music to fans in the US, she acknowledges the sacrifices she’s making to make the tour happen. Despite the financial strain, she remains determined to share her music with audiences across the pond.
As she prepares to hit the road, Gartland is looking forward to the energy of live performances and the opportunity to connect with fans in a new way. Though the financial burden weighs heavy, her passion for music and dedication to her craft drive her forward.
