The roar of an arena crowd, the flash of stage lights, and the unmistakable energy of what will arguably be this year’s most celebrated and long-awaited global tour: these are the new realities for Jade LeMac, the 21-year-old artist whose 2020 career launch has quickly become one of music’s most compelling voices for the year ahead. LeMac, known for her genre-bending sound and deeply personal lyrics, is set to join millennial pop icon Hilary Duff for the anticipated “Lucky Me” North American tour this summer, bringing her acclaimed sound to Austin’s Germania Insurance Amphitheater on June 28, 2026.

But age is merely a number for the 21-year-old musician, who prefers to characterize it as “different” rather than a “disadvantage.” “I think…it’s something that so many people rely on and use to cope with things, so I feel like being younger, there’s just always going to be people my age going through similar things. So, I think I’m just relating to certain people at this age…and then when I get a little bit older, I’ll probably relate to some older people,” she shared in a previous interview.

Earlier this month, LeMac secured her first-ever entry on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, as her 2025 lead single “Running Home” debuted at No. 88, demonstrating a powerful opening track on her acclaimed EP, It’s Always Night. The “lush, indie-pop tune,” as described by Billboard, magnetizes LeMac’s message of diving deeper into relationship security, explaining that [it’s] about “reassuring the person you are in a relationship with that you will always choose them, no matter how they might feel.”

Jade LeMac’s trajectory is a modern testament to the speed of sound finding its actual audience. Rising from a significant online presence to a major label deal with Warner Music last August, LeMac has cultivated a loyal following drawn to her cinematic storytelling and vulnerable artistic expression. Her breakout single, “Constellations,” released in 2021, soared to over 400 million streams, captivating listeners and catching the attention of major sync placements in popular series like Netflix’s My Life with the Walter Boys and Tubi’s Sidelined: The QB and Me. These thoughtful sync placements have amplified her reach, cementing her position as an artist with significant cultural resonance.

Earlier this year, LeMac continued to build on her momentum with the release of It’s Always At Night (Acoustic), an EP that showcases her raw talent and introspective lyrical depth. This project followed a period of prolific releases and high-profile performances, including appearances at major festivals such as Lollapalooza and Osheaga. These live experiences have refined her stage presence, preparing her for the expansive venues of the “Lucky Me” tour.

Beyond her musical achievements, LeMac has also emerged as a significant voice for individual representation. As a queer, Vietnamese-Canadian artist she has openly shared her experiences and identity, resonating with her diverse global audience. Her commitment to human-centric lifestyle and performance has not gone unnoticed by industry peers, evidenced by her recent nomination for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist. This recognition underscores her impact beyond vanity metrics and streaming numbers, further emphasizing her role as an influential musician in contemporary pop culture.

The “Lucky Me” tour marks Hilary Duff’s return to the global stage after nearly 20 years, and LeMac’s inclusion alongside synth-pop innovators La Roux certainly positions her in esteemed company. For Austin audiences, LeMac’s performance at the Circuit of the America’s (COTA) Germania Insurance Amphitheater on June 28, 2026, offers a unique opportunity to witness an artist whose career blends viral success with critical acclaim and a profound commitment to personal narrative.

In a December interview with Digital Journal’s Markos Papadatos, LeMac revealed “Sweet Dreams” as her personal favorite track from the new EP “I love ‘Sweet Dreams,’ describing it as “one of the most underrated songs.”

Jade listed “Sweet Dreams” as her personal favorite song from her EP “I love ‘Sweet Dreams.’ I think it’s one of the most underrated songs,” she said.

As she steps onto larger stages, Jade LeMac seems to be here on more than “party business,” complementing performance with music’s historical roots. The sharing of her story that is both deeply personal and universally resonant to her audience, will grow to solidify her place as a powerful, yet approachable artist in pop music culture.
