EVAN sells out GRAMMY Museum Spotlight, first mini album 'DEATH OF ME' due Sept 7

EVAN took the Spotlight stage at the GRAMMY Museum's Ray Charles Rooftop Terrace in Los Angeles on August 14. Tickets sold out after presale opened.

The Spotlight program brings artists in for live performances and interviews. Past participants include Doechii, Chappell Roan, and KATSEYE. EVAN opened with debut single Ride or Die, which leaned into Alternative Rock energy, then shifted into album track Overflow for a more delicate, emotional stretch. A cover of The Weeknd's Can't Feel My Face drew the crowd into a full singalong, with the audience chanting EVAN's name. When the encore came, EVAN went straight back to Can't Feel My Face.

During the interview portion, EVAN broke down tracks from the upcoming first mini album DEATH OF ME, out September 7. Going Home came from a personal place: not being able to get home often because of a packed schedule. For listeners new to the project, EVAN pointed to Twilight, described as having a soft atmosphere that pulls people in naturally. Immature was singled out as the track EVAN most wanted fans to hear. (Three songs called out by the artist themselves is a decent roadmap for a first listen.)

US activities continue August 16 at KCON LA 2026. EVAN is then scheduled to attend the 2026 TIMA on the 23rd.
