PinkPantheress on the Surprise Success of ‘Illegal’: “I Didn’t Really Think It Was Going to Be ‘the One’”

PinkPantheress will launch her 2026 North American tour in Mexico City, featuring stops at Coachella and multiple U.S. and Canadian cities in April and May.

  • This year, NME named PinkPantheress's 'Illegal' Song of the Year, and the track received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Pop Recording.
  • Sampling a 1994 Underworld track, PinkPantheress said a TikTok trend and the sample's timelessness helped 'Illegal' connect with online and older listeners.
  • PinkPantheress followed 'Fancy That' with a remixtape that rewired 'Illegal' with SEVENTEEN, Anitta, Nia Archives, and featured Kylie Minogue on a tense 'Stateside' remix.
  • A sold-out UK tour in 2025 helped PinkPantheress shed stage fright and enhance her shows with The Pinkettes, backing dancers, and a tap-dancing DJ.
  • Looking ahead, PinkPantheress will tour the U.S. in April–May 2026, with tickets on sale December 12, and she plans to pursue acting next year and support causes like 'Together for Palestine'.
