Miley Cyrus announces 'Bass Persuades' album

Miley Cyrus used a September 1 social media post to unveil a new album, “Bass Persuades,” and confirm two Los Angeles shows tied to the release. Multiple music outlets and ticketing reports said the record is due on September 18 and that Cyrus will play the Hollywood Bowl on October 16 and October 18. The announcement gives Cyrus a defined release calendar after 2025’s “Something Beautiful,” which her official store describes as her ninth studio album. That makes “Bass Persuades” her 10th studio album, according to reports published on September 1 and September 2. ### Which parts of the announcement are confirmed? September 18 is the reported release date for “Bass Persuades,” according to Consequence, UPI and other outlets that cited Cyrus’s announcement materials. (consequence.net) Those reports also said the album will be released through Atlantic Records. October 16 and October 18 are the two confirmed Los Angeles dates, and the venue named in coverage is the Hollywood Bowl. (shop.mileycyrus.com) SeatGeek described the shows as “Miley: Bass Persuades – Live at the Hollywood Bowl,” while several music publications reported the same dates and venue. ### Is this a full tour or just Los Angeles right now? (consequence.net) Two Los Angeles concerts are the only live dates surfaced in current reporting around the announcement. SeatGeek said Cyrus has not announced a traditional multi-city tour around the album and described the Bowl dates as standalone shows for now. The initial social chatter summarized in the source briefings referred to Los Angeles dates and said ticket or release details would follow online. (seatgeek.com) Subsequent coverage filled in the specifics with the Hollywood Bowl dates and the September 18 album release. ### How does “Bass Persuades” fit into Miley Cyrus’s recent run? “Something Beautiful” was sold through Cyrus’s official store as her ninth studio album, placing “Bass Persuades” next in sequence. (seatgeek.com) Coverage published this week consistently called the new project her 10th studio album. Recent coverage also placed the new album after a commercially and critically visible stretch for Cyrus. (consequence.net) The Los Angeles Daily News noted that “Flowers,” released in 2023, led to her first Grammy wins in 2024, and that she later won another Grammy in 2025 for “II Most Wanted,” her collaboration with Beyoncé. ### What else stood out in the rollout? (shop.mileycyrus.com) Several outlets reported that Cyrus is being billed simply as “Miley” in this campaign. Consequence, NME and other coverage tied that presentation directly to the album announcement and the Hollywood Bowl shows. September 1 coverage also suggested the reveal followed teaser activity on social media in the days before the announcement. (dailynews.com) Reports published after the post framed “Bass Persuades” as the start of a new album cycle rather than an isolated single or one-off live event. (consequence.net) ### What happens next? September 18 is the next fixed date in the rollout, when “Bass Persuades” is scheduled to be released. After that, the next public events on the calendar are the October 16 and October 18 Hollywood Bowl shows in Los Angeles, with ticketing information expected through online sales channels.
