Tori Amos’ campaign behind the forthcoming In Times of Dragons hit its stride this week. After Monday’s debut of the record’s lead single (“Stronger Together”, alongside her daughter Tash), Amos visited the BBC Radio 2 Piano Room at Maida Vale on Tuesday to deliver even more musical goodies.
Amos, backed by the BBC Concert Orchestra, began with a rousing debut performance of “Stronger Together,” where you really feel that track’s depth and resonance. From there, Amos busted out a classic track with “Cornflake Girl” followed by covers of The Rolling Stones’ “Beast of Burden” and Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin.'” As if the live debut wasn’t already enough, Amos’ covers were that perfect blend of poignant and stirring.
Check out clips from the set below; UK fans can watch the entire performance via the BBC iPlayer.
Due out May 1st via Universal/Fontana, In Times of Dragons serves as Amos’ 18th studio album. She formerly described the record as a “metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny,” adding that it reflects “the current abhorrent non-accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator believing Lizard Demons’ in their usurpation of America.” Pre-orders are ongoing.
To commemorate the release of In Times of Dragons, Amos will be heading out on tour this summer for 35 shows, starting in July in Florida and wrapping up in September in Seattle. She’ll stop in major cities like Dallas, Phoenix, and Boston during her trek. Get your tickets here.
The release of In Times of Dragons follows Amos’ debut children’s book, Tori and the Muses, and its accompanying companion album, both of which arrived in 2025.
