Ashe takes The Girl of Your Dreams to the Castro Theatre

Three weeks after her fourth album, Ashe has booked the Castro for Friday, Feb. 26, 2027, her first San Francisco show since 2022.

The last time Ashe played San Francisco was August 6, 2022, at Bimbo's 365 Club. Her next visit is a step up in size and in occasion: a Friday night at the Castro Theatre, with a new album and a new label behind her.

Ashe plays the Castro Theatre on Friday, Feb. 26, 2027, at 8 p.m., with Claire Rosinkranz opening. The date was announced Oct. 22, and tickets are through Ticketmaster. Our listings put the room at 1,400 capacity.

The show is part of The Girl of Your Dreams Tour, named for the album Ashe released Oct. 16. It's her fourth studio album and her first on Atlantic Records, as Melodic Magazine reported. It follows Willson, the album she put out independently in 2024. Producer Noah Conrad, who worked on her debut, is back for this one, according to The Line of Best Fit. The record's singles include "Stop the Wedding!" and "Funeral." Ashe talked through the album and its first single with Bustle.

That's a lot of change since Bimbo's. Between the two San Francisco visits she has made two albums, gone independent for one of them and then signed to a major label for the next. The Castro booking reads like a statement about where she thinks she stands now.

The tour is a big one. Official Charts lists it across North America, Europe and the UK in 2027. The North American leg opens Feb. 17 at The Eastern in Atlanta, with Texas dates in Houston, Dallas and Austin the same week. San Francisco comes at the end of the first ten days, before stops like Salt Lake City's Union Event Center on March 2 and Boston's House of Blues on March 16. The European and UK leg starts April 5 at the Olympia in Dublin.

Claire Rosinkranz is the support act on the dates announced so far, so the opener is part of the package, not a local fill-in. Get there for the early set.

For a songwriter whose new album leans on big, emotional pop singles, the Castro is a fitting room. It's a seated movie palace, not a club, and that changes how a crowd listens. A Friday night there in late February should feel like an event, not just another tour stop.

Four and a half years is a long gap, and the album she's bringing is still new. If The Girl of Your Dreams has been on repeat since October, this is the night to hear it in a room that matches it.
