The tour, which started last month, was extended to include more North American dates in August and September. This, what Carlile called “the second half of The Human Tour,” will start in Portland, Maine, on Aug. 13 and will wrap up on Sept. 22 in San Diego before Carlile takes the show overseas to Dublin the following month.

From every ticket sold, $2 will go directly to Carlile’s Looking Out Foundation, which raises money to support humanitarian and social justice causes around the world.

“The Looking Out Foundation amplifies the impact of music by awarding grants, engaging community, and creating powerful partnerships,” the organization’s website states. “From neighborhood to nation, we activate our dedicated coalition of fan volunteers and utilize our platform to uplift humanitarian causes, organizations, and advocates leading the fight to create a better world.”
