Like the Hannah Montana song, Miley Cyrus is finding her way back home — and over 1 million fans are ready to follow.

On Wednesday, Sept. 9, nearly 1.5 million fans entered the presale ticket queue for the 33-year-old singer’s newly announced Hollywood Bowl shows, setting a record for demand ahead of her two-night return to the legendary Los Angeles venue.

The concerts, set for Oct. 16 and 18, will be Cyrus’ first major performances since she played the Corona Capital music festival in Mexico City in November 2022. The huge ticket demand comes just days before the release of her 10th studio album, Bass Persuades, due Sept. 18 via Atlantic Records.

Cyrus announced the new album on Sept. 1, sharing a personal explanation for its title.

“Music takes hold of us. We feel it, sing it, sometimes dance to it, let it out and carry on. It is powerful, vulnerable, sweet and strong,” the star wrote on Instagram. “Heart full, heartache, every part of life in between. That’s what the title means to me. Thank you for being a part of making my wildest dreams come true. I sincerely hope you love this album. ❤️ Miley.”

The album’s title track is already making noise of its own, landing as the No. 1 most-added song at U.S. radio this week. Released Sept. 3 as the first single from the album, the ‘80s-inspired dance-pop track finds Cyrus taking aim at a screen-filled world and encouraging listeners to put down their phones and get back on the dance floor.

The song’s nostalgic streak includes references to being “glued” to a phone and missing the days of discovering hits through MTV, while its accompanying music video, directed by longtime collaborator Mert Alas, turns the message into a full-on dance party.

The song is also off to a strong start on streaming platforms, debuting at No. 1 on Spotify’s U.S. Top Songs chart for Sept. 4–6 and No. 2 globally during the same period. It also reached No. 1 on iTunes in the U.S.

The album announcement also marked a new chapter in how the singer is presenting herself. She’s releasing the project under just her first name, Miley.

Her father, country star Billy Ray Cyrus, is fully on board with his daughter’s new era.

After the “Flowers” singer announced the album, he shared a throwback photo of himself with his daughter and her younger brother, Braison, along with a message comparing her one-name era to legendary artists who have gone by a single name.

“I mentioned Dolly and Cher. Thinkin about it more and more … Elvis .. Prince …and so on,” he wrote. “It’s a natural progression for an iconic superstar legend. And the legend continues ! Looking forward to the new album.”

The Hollywood Bowl shows will give Cyrus a chance to introduce her new era to fans in a venue she already holds close.

“It’s been a while. The Hollywood Bowl is my favorite place to experience music and see my favorite artists,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’ve sat in those seats many times, but I’ve never taken the stage. LA is my heart and I’m bringing it home. See you there. ❤️ Miley.”

MODEL/ACTRIZ is set to join her as the special guest for both dates. General tickets go on sale Sept. 10 at 10 a.m. PT.
