Melanie Martinez (born April 28, 1995, Astoria, New York) is an American singer-songwriter, director, and visual artist who rose to prominence on season 3 of The Voice in 2012. Her debut album Cry Baby (2015) and its follow-ups K-12 (2019) and PORTALS (2023) built a devoted global fanbase around her dark, surrealist take on alternative pop, with each record paired with an elaborate visual world. K-12 came with a full-length musical film she wrote and directed herself; PORTALS debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. Her fourth album, HADES (2026), marks the start of a new double-album project built around a brand-new character.
Martinez cancelled the opening St. Paul date of the Hades: The Sacrifice tour (July 15) due to a production issue; the tour now opens July 17 in Chicago.
Martinez announced the Hades: The Sacrifice arena tour, covering North America and Europe from July to September 2026, including stops in Kraków, Prague, Frankfurt, and Hamburg.
Her fourth studio album HADES was released on March 27, 2026, debuting at #3 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the US Top Alternative Albums chart.
Martinez blacked out all her social media and website on January 22, 2026, teasing the new HADES era; lead single 'Possession' followed on January 28.
The Trilogy Tour - her first all-arena headline tour - ran 53 shows across multiple continents, including two sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden, wrapping in November 2024.
