Icelandic Jazz Phenom Laufey Conquers LA's Crypto.com Arena

Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey, just 26 years old, is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. On September 26, 2025, she opened a two-night stand at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, showcasing her unique blend of jazz and pop.

Laufey's "A Matter of Time Tour," her third and first entirely consisting of arena dates, began on September 15, 2025, in Orlando and is set to conclude in her home country of Iceland on March 15, 2026. The rising star has already achieved impressive accolades, winning a Grammy in 2024 for her sophomore album, "Bewitched." Her third album, "A Matter of Time," debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 and has topped the Jazz Albums chart for the past four weeks.

Laufey's ambition and talent are evident in her career trajectory. In 2023, she expressed her desire to follow in the footsteps of her idol, Taylor Swift, in uniting people across the world through her music. Laufey's choice of opening act, English pop/rock artist Suki Waterhouse, also speaks to her pop aspirations. As she continues to captivate audiences with her unique sound and dynamic live performances, it's clear that Laufey is poised for even greater success in the years to come.
