Paula Cole returns to the stage with THIS FIRE: 30—a special anniversary tour celebrating three decades of This Fire.   A Grammy-winning singer-songwriter known for her fearless writing and genre-blending sound, Cole broke boundaries with songs that were both deeply personal and universally resonant.

On THIS FIRE: 30, Paula will perform This Fire in its entirety—revisiting the era-defining music that sparked a generation and bringing new life, nuance, and power to the songs fans have carried with them for decades. Expect an intimate, emotionally charged performance that honors the original spirit of the album while showcasing the artistry and perspective she’s continued to evolve.

Spanning 50+ markets across the US, the UK, and Europe, THIS FIRE: 30 marks a major touring moment for Paula Cole—one of her most far-reaching runs in years—celebrating a classic album and the enduring connection it created with listeners around the world.

Opening for Paula Cole is Rett Madison, a powerful singer-songwriter known for her confessional lyrics, soulful voice, and emotionally rich blend of folk, rock, and Americana. Her acclaimed album One for Jackie showcases her gift for intimate storytelling, pairing raw honesty with striking musicianship.
