EMEI: Night at the Opera Tour

Emei, born Emily Li in New Jersey, is a Chinese-American singer-songwriter and Yale graduate who placed third on Chinese Idol as a teenager and later competed on China's version of Dancing with the Stars before pivoting fully to a pop career. She broke through with 2022's TikTok-driven single "Late to the Party," followed by 2023's "Scatterbrain," which landed on Spotify's Best Pop Songs of the Year list, and Spotify tapped her as an Artist to Watch for 2024. Her 2026 EP Night at the Opera, released on Atlantic Records / Nice Life with GRAMMY-winning producer Ricky Reed, was inspired by an actual opera performance she attended and reframes emotional scale in her songwriting through a more theatrical, dramatic lens than her earlier singles. The Night at the Opera Tour brings that material to New York on October 17, 2026.
