Attendees will experience the album in a phone- and camera-free environment, with devices secured in Yondr pouches. The events are scheduled in over 40 locations worldwide, including the United States, Canada, and several European and Oceanic countries. In addition to her music endeavors, Bridgers is set to appear in the A24 film 'Primetime,' directed by Lance Oppenheim and starring Robert Pattinson, which is based on the TV program 'To Catch a Predator.' The film is slated for release on September 25.
