(DETROIT – January 28, 2022) – Today, Rex Orange County announces his 2022 North American and UK/Ireland “The Who Cares? Tour” dates. The North American leg commences at the top of May in Miami and sees Rex play across the continent, including a date at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on the campus of Oakland University on Saturday, June 25 at 8:30 p.m.

The tour announcement arrives on the heels of the recent announcement of his new album WHO CARES?, due March 11 via Sony Music, and the lead single and video “Keep It Up.”

WHO CARES? will mark Rex’s first release since 2020’s Live at Radio City Music Hall EP taken from his two sold-out shows at the venue in 2020 just before his international “Pony” tour was cut short in Berlin due to Covid-19. As it turns out, however, that tour being cut short is part of the genesis of this album. After spending the bulk of 2020 quarantined back home in the UK, Rex made the trek to Amsterdam that fall to record with Benny Sings, with whom he crafted the 2017 platinum selling breakout single “Loving Is Easy.”

What started as sessions without expectations turned into an incredibly productive 48-hour window of recording with Benny, prompting a follow-up trip to Amsterdam. The subsequent 10 days of work together produced his fourth album, made in close partnership with Benny, that is a playful record by an artist in a playful mood. The album also finds Rex reunited with one of his earliest champions, Tyler, The Creator, who contributes a verse to “Open A Window,” which marks the first time the two have collaborated since Tyler’s 2017 album Flower Boy.
