Miley has announced only two major concerts tied to her new era so far. The number of people reportedly trying to get into them is considerably larger.
Nearly 1.5 million fans joined presale queues for the singer’s October Hollywood Bowl shows in Los Angeles, according to PEOPLE. The outlet described the demand as record-setting ahead of the two-night run.
The concerts are scheduled for Oct. 16 and Oct. 18, with those currently the only two MILEY concert dates listed by Ticketmaster. They will also put her on the Hollywood Bowl stage for the first time after years of attending performances there as a fan.
The rush comes during a larger reset for the 33-year-old singer. Her 10th studio album, Bass Persuades, arrives Sept. 18 through Atlantic Records, its title track is already out, and much of the new campaign now bills the artist long known as Miley Cyrus simply as MILEY.

PEOPLE reported Sept. 9 that nearly 1.5 million fans had entered the presale queue for the two concerts, describing the demand as a new record. Just Jared separately reported the same approximate figure after the first ticket windows opened.
That reported demand is many times larger than the venue itself. The Hollywood Bowl officially lists a capacity of 17,500, giving the two concerts a combined maximum capacity of roughly 35,000 before any production-related seating changes are considered.
The first ticket window was an American Express presale beginning Sept. 8, followed by Miley’s artist presale and Spotify’s Reserved program on Sept. 9. Just Jared reported that inventory made available during the early presale sold quickly.
Ticketmaster’s official event guide schedules the general onsale for Sept. 10 at 10 a.m. local venue time and imposes an overall four-ticket limit.
The Hollywood Bowl Is a Stage Miley Already Knows From the Audience

The venue has a personal connection for Miley, just not from the stage. When she announced the concerts Sept. 1, she said the Hollywood Bowl was her favorite place to experience music and watch artists she loves. “I’ve sat in those seats many times, but I’ve never taken the stage,” she wrote. “LA is my heart and I’m bringing it home.”
Her first performance is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 16, followed by the second on Sunday, Oct. 18. Ticketmaster lists both shows for 7:30 p.m., with New York band Model/Actriz joining as special guest.
The Bowl dates are being promoted as Miley’s first major performances since the Corona Capital festival in Mexico City in November 2022. She has performed at smaller events and specials since then, including a 2025 performance in Paris, making “first major performances” the important distinction.
‘Bass Persuades’ Arrives Four Weeks Before the Shows
The concert demand landed less than two weeks before Bass Persuades reaches listeners in full. Miley released the album’s title track Sept. 3, accompanied by a music video directed by Mert Alas.
The song turns its attention toward a screen-dominated culture and encourages listeners to put down their phones and return to physical movement and connection. The video carries the same theme into a dark, nightlife-driven setting built around Miley and a group of dancers.
Warner Music confirms that the 10-track album arrives Sept. 18 through Atlantic Records, four weeks before the first Hollywood Bowl show. Model/Actriz’s role goes beyond opening both concerts. The band is featured on the album’s second track, “Different Religion,” while Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow appears on “Neon Signs.”
The New Era Comes With a Shorter Billing
The ticket campaign also reflects a change in how Miley is presenting herself professionally. Her new website, Ticketmaster listings and much of the Bass Persuades promotional material use MILEY.
Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, has publicly supported it. He said he had spoken with his daughter about the change and wrote that he felt good about her using her first name, noting that he had always called her “just Miley.”
He compared the approach to performers including Dolly Parton, Cher, Elvis Presley and Prince before calling it “a natural progression for an iconic superstar legend.”
