The Blood Stained Blonde Tour was the second concert tour by American singer-songwriter and producer Hayden Silas Anhedönia, under the stage name of Ethel Cain. Like the previous one, it served to promote the artist's debut studio album, Preacher's Daughter (2022), a critically acclaimed concept album. The 46-show tour began on April 1, 2023 in Mexico City and concluded on October 24, 2023 in San Francisco.
Background On March 17, 2022, Cain announced her debut studio album, Preacher's Daughter, which was stated to release on May 12. She released three singles to promote the record: "Gibson Girl", "Strangers", and "American Teenager". Also, she embarked on a concert tour the same year, titled the Freezer Bride Tour, which began on July 14, 2022 in Bloomington, Indiana, and concluded in London, England, on December 7.
