Nessa Barrett recently brought her AFTERCARE Tour to Sacramento’s Ace of Spades on March 10, 2025, and it was an unforgettable night for fans. Known for her emotional and darkly romantic pop sound, Barrett has quickly become a favorite among music lovers since her debut in 2020. Her latest album, Aftercare, features hits like “Passenger Princess” and “Dirty Little Secret,” blending catchy beats with deeply personal lyrics.

The Sacramento show was part of a packed tour schedule that has seen sold-out crowds across the U.S. Opening the night was Ari Abdul, a Brooklyn-based artist with a knack for atmospheric dark-pop. Abdul got the crowd going with tracks like “Girls on the Internet” and “BABYDOLL,” setting the stage for Barrett’s energetic performance. When Nessa took over, she delivered a dynamic setlist that included fan favorites from both her debut and sophomore albums. The visually stunning backdrops added an extra layer of emotion to her songs, making the experience even more impactful.

The AFTERCARE Tour has been all about empowerment and self-discovery for Barrett, with themes of love, heartbreak, and resilience woven throughout her shows. Fans have connected deeply with her music, and this tour has been a testament to that connection. The final show is set for March 16 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, with Ari Abdul joining once again as the supporting act. It promises to be a memorable night that fans won’t want to miss.

Barrett’s journey from TikTok sensation to chart-topping musician is pretty inspiring. With billions of streams worldwide and recognition from major publications like Billboard and Forbes, she’s definitely making her mark on the music scene. As she wraps up this tour, fans are already wondering what’s next for this talented and fearless artist.
