Miley Cyrus Announces Bass Persuades Album for September 18
Miley has announced her 10th studio album, Bass Persuades, for September 18 and two Hollywood Bowl concerts in October, opening a new chapter that also finds the singer using her first name professionally.
The Miley Bass Persuades album will arrive September 18, with the singer announcing her 10th studio record alongside two October concerts at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The project marks Miley’s first album for Atlantic Records and begins a new era in which she is being billed professionally by her first name.
The album announcement was made September 1 and was accompanied by plans for shows at the Hollywood Bowl on October 16 and 18. Variety confirmed the September 18 release, the Atlantic Records partnership and the two Los Angeles dates.
Miley Bass Persuades album opens a new Atlantic Records chapter
Bass Persuades follows Miley’s 2025 album Something Beautiful and extends a period in which the singer has continued moving between pop, rock and more experimental production choices. Billboard reported that the new album will be her 10th studio release and described the project as the beginning of another distinct musical era.
The singer has not released a lengthy track-by-track explanation of the record, but the announcement presents music as something capable of carrying both vulnerability and strength. That framing is consistent with a catalog that has frequently used reinvention as part of the storytelling around each album.
The release will also be Miley’s first full-length project through Atlantic Records. The label change gives Bass Persuades additional industry significance beyond the album itself, placing a major pop artist into a new label relationship at the start of a fresh release cycle.
Two Hollywood Bowl concerts will follow the album
Miley will support the album with concerts at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday, October 16 and Sunday, October 18. The dates represent her first performances as a headliner at the landmark Los Angeles venue.
Ticketmaster’s official event information confirms both Hollywood Bowl dates and states that the general ticket sale begins September 10. The October 16 event page lists MODEL/ACTRIZ on the lineup alongside Miley.
The shows are notable because large-scale Miley concerts have been comparatively selective in recent years. Rather than announcing an extensive tour with the album, the initial live plan centers on two destination performances in Los Angeles.
That gives the Hollywood Bowl dates more weight than a conventional tour stop. Miley has described the venue as a place where she has often gone to experience other artists, making her first appearance on its stage a personal milestone as well as an album promotion event.
Miley is also changing how she presents her name
The new era includes a branding change. Recent promotional materials and reporting identify the singer simply as Miley rather than Miley Cyrus. Pitchfork reported the shift to the mononym alongside the album announcement, while noting that Bass Persuades follows last year’s Something Beautiful.
The shortened billing does not change the artist behind the catalog, but it gives the new album a clear visual and marketing identity. Artists frequently use album cycles to redraw the boundaries of a public persona, and Miley’s decision makes that transformation explicit before the record has even arrived.
The September release date also places the album in a busy fall window for major artists, adding another high-profile title to the season’s music releases.
Bass Persuades arrives less than three weeks after its announcement
The short runway between announcement and release means listeners will not have to wait through a lengthy promotional cycle. September 18 is only a little more than two weeks after the album was formally revealed.
Rolling Stone independently confirmed the album and Hollywood Bowl dates, providing additional corroboration for the release plan and the singer’s new professional billing.
Additional details about the album’s collaborators and individual recordings are likely to emerge as the release approaches, but the central pieces are now established: Miley has a 10th studio album coming September 18, it begins her Atlantic Records era, and she will follow it with two Hollywood Bowl performances in October.
For a singer whose career has repeatedly been defined by reinvention, the Miley Bass Persuades album arrives with another deliberate reset already underway.
