Sabrina Carpenter returns to Bay Area with her blockbuster concert tour

Sabrina Carpenter wasn’t supposed to play the 2024 Outside Lands Festival.

That headlining set originally belonged to Tyler, The Creator. But then the massive hip-hop star took himself off the lineup, calling Outside Lands “a commitment that (he) no longer could keep.”

Fortunately, Carpenter was willing to fill the void and ended up making her festival headlining debut at the three-day event held back in August at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

The 25-year-old Pennsylvania native did a fantastic job in the role, wowing a massive gathering of exuberant fans with a dizzying pop music spectacle that featured equal amounts of hits and star power.

That festival appearance happened just prior to the vocalist releasing her sixth full-length album, “Short n’ Sweet,” which hit stores on Aug. 23. Since then, she’s become an even bigger deal, with “Short n’ Sweet” propelling Carpenter into the ranks of the top pop stars on the planet.

The album has topped the charts in multiple countries and has produced some of 2024’s most notable songs — including the multiplatinum No. 1 hits “Please Please Please” and “Espresso.”

All of this helps explain why the Short N’ Sweet Tour has turned into one of the year’s toughest tickets. So, expect to see a very full house when Carpenter returns to San Francisco for a gig on Nov. 9 at Chase Center.
