The pop star, who is uniformly Miley for the duration, announced the pair of Friday and Sunday shows in early September along with news that her new album, "Bass Persuades," will be released Sept. 18 via Atlantic Records. "It's been a while," Cyrus said on Instagram at the time. "Hollywood Bowl is my favorite place to experience music and see my favorite artists. I've sat in those seats many times, but never on stage. Los Angeles is my heart and I'm bringing it home. See you there. ❤️ Miley."

In fact, it's been a while since Cyrus graced the stage as a headliner outside of festivals. The closest approximation was a performance earlier this year at a special 20th anniversary recording of "Hannah Montana" and before that with Spotify's Billions Live Club last June in Paris for a select group of fans. A month earlier, she debuted her new album "Something Beautiful" with a fans-only TikTok event at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. The last time he did a full tour was for "Bangerz" in 2014.

Cyrus has been open about her decision to tour, telling British Vogue in 2023 that she decided to take a break after the "Bangerz" tour. "It's been a minute," he said at the time. After the last show I did [in 2014], I kind of looked at it more as a question. And I can't not only "I can't", because I can't is your ability, it's my desire. Do I want to live my life for the satisfaction or satisfaction of others other than myself?”
Last month, Cyrus clarified her stance on live performances during an interview with Apple Music's Zayn Lowe, explaining that she's open to doing more residencies. "It's the best dress rehearsal," he said of his Bowl performances. I now find through the queue that my calculations are correct and people will come to me. I don't need to drive to you proved, it was a quick test. I won so it's great because people like to see me perform and I like to sleep in a marshmallow bed so we're both happy.
