The Blood Stained Blonde Tour was the second concert tour by American singer-songwriter and producer Hayden Silas Anhedönia, under the stage name of Ethel Cain. Like the previous one, it served to promote the artist's debut studio album, Preacher's Daughter (2022), a critically acclaimed concept album. The 46-show tour began on April 1, 2023 in Mexico City and concluded on October 24, 2023 in San Francisco.
Background
On March 17, 2022, Cain announced her debut studio album, Preacher's Daughter, which was stated to release on May 12. She released three singles to promote the record: "Gisbon Girl", "Strangers", and "American Teenager". Also, she embarked on a concert tour the same year, titled the Freezer Bride Tour, which began on July 14, 2022 in Bloomington, Indiana, and concluded in London, England, on December 7.
At the end of 2022, American singer-songwriter Caroline Polachek announced her Spiraling Tour, in which Cain performs at an opening guest. In the first half of 2023, only months after finishing her previous one, Cain announced her second headlining concert tour, Blood Stained Blonde Tour, with North American dates on several festivals, such as Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, Reading and Leeds Festivals, and others. She also announced dates opening for supergroup Boygenius in the United Kingdom. The last shows in the United States were confirmed on July 24, along with the supporting acts: 9Million, Skullcrusher, Midwive, Wulven, and King Woman.
The tour marked Cain's Coachella debut, and she was named as one of the "10 unmissable new acts to see" at the 2023 edition of the festival. Her participation at the festival, confirmed on January 10, received positive reviews from critics.
