Alex G Kicks Off World Tour With Healthy Dose of B Sides & “Hits”

Last night (October 7), singer/songwriter Alex G kicked off his expansive world tour at the Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw, North Carolina. Right on the heels of the release of his fantastic new LP, God Save the Animals, the multi-dimensional artist took the stage at the small, southern venue with a lengthy setlist. Alex G ran through a healthy combination of B-sides and hits for a career-spanning set to kick off this tour. 

God Save the Animals is Alex G’s most ambitious project to date. It is a true culmination of all his previous works wrapped up into one complex and gorgeous LP. Since his first studio album, 2010’s Race, Alex G has carved out his own niche in the indie rock scene through his intricate guitar plucking and poetically brutal songwriting. This current tour is in support of his latest release but day-one fans will be pleased to see that his 27-song setlist covers the artist’s storied discography. 

With an already hectic tour schedule leading up to this headlining tour, Alex G is a seasoned performer for his young age. He kicked the night off with “S.D.O.S”, one of the more experimental songs from his 2022 album before going into “Runner”, a fan favorite. Alex G kept the set fresh throughout the night, performing deep cuts like “Serpent Is Lord” and “Black Hair” from his 2014 album, DSU, which is an album that appeared frequently within this setlist. This packed setlist contained at least one song from each of Alex G’s studio albums, oddly enough, no songs from his 2012 album Rules made it into his lengthy setlist. 

Alex G is on the road until he wraps up this leg of the tour on November 20 with two homecoming shows in Philadelphia. After that he will take a short break before starting up an overseas tour in March of next year. For this current North American leg Alex G will be making stops in Atlanta, Nashville, Los Angeles, and most major cities in the states.
