Imogen Heap has announced her first North American tour in nine years. The Mycelia World Tour is a 40-city tour behind the launch of Mycelia’s “Creative Passport,” a platform that promotes artist-led, fair and sustainable operating practices for musicians. The nine-city North American leg will feature live performances by Frou Frou—Imogen Heap and composer/producer Guy Sigsworth’s electronic group—marking their first time playing together since 2003. The trek will also include music maker workshops, family coding workshops, and talks at industry conferences with Imogen discussing how technology is shaping the future of music.

“Through Mycelia and its ‘Creative Passport,’ as music makers we now have no excuse but to put our best foot forward and become open for business, decentralizing the ecosystem so that it will ultimately benefit everyone,” Imogen Heap said in a statement. Mycelia, a nonprofit founded by Imogen, is a research and development hub that aims to build ethical, technical, and commercial standards for those in the music industry through fairer payments, enriching the marketplace, and more.

Imogen Heap’s last full-length release was 2014’s Sparks. Frou Frou’s only LP, Details, arrived in 2002. Imogen recently released her score for the Harry Potter Musical Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
