Alexander Stewart is stepping into a new chapter with the release of his sophomore album What If?, a deeply personal project shaped by two years of introspection and growth. Alongside the album, he’s unveiled a sweeping international tour that will bring his new music to fans across Europe and North America. With standout collaborations, viral hits, and a fresh music video already gaining traction, Stewart continues to cement his place as one of pop’s rising voices.
According to a press release from Alexander Stewart’s management, the North American leg of his What If? Tour, which will kick off in February with over 20 dates, includes stops at Irving Plaza in New York City and Pacific Electric in Los Angeles.
Tickets will go on sale next week starting with the Artist Presale on Monday, October 27th at 10am local, followed by the Spotify Presale on Wednesday, October 29th at 10am local, and the General Onsale happening on Friday, October 31st at 10am local. Fans will also be able to secure tickets through local presales happening in select markets next week. For all ticket information, please go to Alexander’s website.
Alexander has also released the music video for “The Way A Heart Breaks,” which follows him on a day that started with heartbreak and ends with an unexpected new and wise friend. Watch it:
Alexander shares, “Over the course of writing this album these past two years, I found myself asking the question ‘what if?’ over and over. What if I’m stuck in this relationship? What if I lose a family member? What if I’m not enough? What if nothing works out the way I thought it would? What if it does and I can’t handle it? Making this album became an outlet for me to live with all of these thoughts swirling around in my head, and it’s the culmination of a lot of self-work, reflection, therapy, and ultimately realizing that maybe everything is happening just the way it’s supposed to.”
With 12 tracks all written by Alexander, What If? includes “Friends Don’t” with Lauren Spencer Smith, which has racked up over 7 million global streams and was included in NYLON’s best new music of the week saying, “The emotion in this duet is just too potent to resist.” The album also features “Blame on You,” which Rolling Stone named as one of their Songs You Need To Know upon release, and “Here Again,” which has garnered over 4.5 million global streams to date and marked the first new music under Alexander’s global partnership with Virgin Music Group that will see him continue to own his masters.

In November, fans will get to hear the new album live for the first time on Alexander’s previously announced UK and European headlining tour. Tickets for the UK & European legs are on sale here. For a full list of upcoming tour dates, please see below.
What If? serves as the follow up to Alexander’s debut album bleeding heart, which included his viral single “i wish you cheated” that skyrocketed to over 45 million views on TikTok and led to his late-night TV debut performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The album earned the Toronto-born singer-songwriter his first JUNO Award nominations for “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” and “Pop Album of the Year,” as well as his first MTV VMA nomination for “Video for Good” with his song “if you only knew,” which was named one of Rolling Stone’s “Songs You Need To Know.”
Following the release of the album, Alexander claimed his first #1 on the US Dance Charts with “Wrong Way,” a collaboration with the acclaimed DJ duo Two Friends. Earlier this summer, Alexander finished his global headlining Bleeding Heart Tour, which saw him perform at nearly 40 dates across North America, Europe, the UK, and Asia and Australia. Previously, he’s toured with Charlie Puth, Benson Boone, and Eric Nam, growing his fanbase that has expanded to over one billion global streams, over 400 million YouTube views and over 166 million likes on TikTok.
With What If?, Alexander Stewart delivers a heartfelt and introspective body of work that resonates deeply with fans old and new. As he prepares to hit the road for his biggest tour yet, the excitement is palpable across continents. Fans eager to experience the emotion and energy of the album live should grab their tickets early and join Alexander on this unforgettable musical journey.
