Jade Thirlwall has announced her first U.S. headline performance. Fans are buzzing with anticipation. The former Little Mix member, now known as JADE, will take the stage in Brooklyn in February 2026.

This announcement comes during her album release party in New York City. Notably, JADE led the crowd in a chant against transphobia and censorship at the event. That moment went viral as well. Speaking about the upcoming U.S. headline show, she told the crowd:

"I want to go home. If I can, you have to publish it. I can't even say it, it's a good thing. Well that's good news because I may be coming here next year. I am going to be here too. I'm going to be here too. But I will see you guys here. It's been a f**king long time for me."

Fans reacted, saying:

"Big moves for JADE! 🙌 Brooklyn is the perfect spot to kick off her first U.S. headline show — this is going to be special 🔥"

Fans' reactions to JADE announcing first U.S. headline show

Pop Base took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to share a clip from the event, captioning:

Fans were notably quick to jump into the comment section of the X post as they shared their excitement and opinions. Below are some of their reactions:

"SHE IS READY TO CONQUER THE US THANK YOU VERY MUCHHHH", declared a fan.
"One year ago, JADE made her solo debut with “Angel Of My Dreams”, and became one of the most critically acclaimed songs of 2024.", shared another.
"Wow Jade How beautiful it was to perform at the 'That's Showbiz Baby' album release party and thank her fans Both her journey with Little Mix and now her solo career are inspiring. This response will feel organic and spontaneous, reflecting the fans sentiments...", penned a third.

Others also chimed in:

"The real controversy here is whether JADE can truly break through in the U.S. after building momentum overseas. Fans and critics will debate if her sound and persona are ready for this kind of spotlight or if it’s too soon. Smartly, this shows how international artists strategically pick key U.S. cities like Brooklyn to establish credibility before a wider tour. It’s not just a concert, it’s a calculated move in building cultural relevance and a dedicated fanbase.", commented a netizen.
"I'm so happy for her. It's so cool that she's still so connected to her roots and her fans. I'm so excited for her future.", lauded another.
