Lesbian viral sensation Gigi Perez’s major headline tour will come to London’s Hyde Park in July.
The singer’s queer anthem “Sailor Song” initially went viral on TikTok, before going to number one in the UK singles charts last year. It has since got to the top 25 in the US, and racked up half a billion Spotify streams.
Perez is now continuing on her biggest international headlining tour yet. Kicking off in Cologne, Germany on 7 April, Perz performed in Amsterdam, Paris, Dublin, and London in April.

Perez will perform there was part of Noah Kahan’s British Summer Time Hyde Park headline show. She’s on the lineup alongside other artists like Gracie Abrams, FINNEAS and Paris Paloma.
Further tour dates across August and September see the singer return to the states and Canada, finishing the tour on 21 October in Los Angeles.
‘It’s changed my life’
Perez previously admitted that “Sailor Song” changed her life and she shared that part of the song’s success is owed to her younger sister, who approved the queer anthem early on.
Speaking to ABC Audio about the wildly successful track, with lyrics speaking to sapphic love – “I sleep so I can see you ‘cause I hate to wait so long” – Perez explained that the song had meant a lot to her audience.
“To see the places that people have resonated with it, especially in the younger LGBT community, and what that kind of desperate love means to people universally, I mean, it’s changed my life,” she said.
She added of her sister’s support: “She was like, ‘Gigi, that’s sick.’ I remember months before I posted it, she’d just be singing it and singing it.”
