Hayla brought her Dark Tour to the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on September 4, 2026, giving fans an evening that covered her two solo albums and included plenty of the collaborations that have made her voice so recognizable. With her newest record, DARK, taking her into more personal territory, the show gave fans a chance to hear those songs alongside the dance tracks they already know and love.

“Without You” and “Escape” had fans singing and moving, and it was fun to hear how much of the venue joined in. These are songs people have heard at festivals and in clubs because of her collaborations with artists like John Summit and Kx5, but having Hayla singing right there on a medium sized stage gave the tracks more intimacy and emotion. She sounded great, with a voice that effortlessly filled the Fonda, and she moved around the stage with a smile the whole night.

Her fans stayed present and also sang along to slower songs like “Easier,” “Still,” and “I Don’t Believe It Anymore.” The lower bpm tracks were a nice respite from all the why-does-Los-Angeles-feel-like-Florida sweaty jumping around.

“Freefall,” “Visions of You,” and “Fall Again,” from DUSK helped round out the set, while “I Found You,” “I Need,” and “Another World” brought the energy back up which made for a great vibe balance through the night. Everybody had room to dance and sing, then settle down for more intimate vocals before the pace picked up again.

Hayla looked happy to be sharing it all with the crowd. She was warm and comfortable onstage, and the audience gave that energy back. The crowd threw up heart hands throughout the night, and she put up her own right back.

The club banger “Shiver” closed the night and got everybody extra energized before hitting the swampy night air, and many in the crowd left being new fans who now know and love her for more than her hits. This show was the last of the tour, but keep an eye on @haylasings for all the latest news and info, and if she gets close to your town you should grab those tickets fast.
