Ashnikko Announces Debut Album 'WEEDKILLER' & World Tour

After emerging as one of today's most innovative alt-pop artists with more than 2.5 billion streams, genre-blurring pop star Ashnikko (she/they) announces her highly-anticipated debut album, WEEDKILLER, out June 2nd via Warner Records.

In celebration, Ashnikko unveils bouncy alt-pop single "Worms," the genre-spanning follow-up to fiery nu-metal inspired track "You Make Me Sick!" which earned global buzz from the likes of PAPER, The FADER, Rolling Stone, NME, Billboard, and more.

Ashnikko has also just announced her biggest tour to date - the 2023 WEEDKILLER World Tour - making stops across North America, UK & Europe, Asia, and Australia, as well as several festival performances around the world, including her Coachella debut in April. Tickets are available at ashnikko.com next Friday, March 10th at 10am local time. See all dates here, with US dates listed below.

Crafted with longtime collaborators Slinger and Oscar Scheller [Charli XCX, PinkPantheress, Rina Sawayama], debut album WEEDKILLER follows Ashnikko's hugely successful 2021 mixtape DEMIDEVIL - which is now RIAA-certified Gold - and 2019 EP Hi, It's Me, which set her straight on the path to superstardom, earning widespread global acclaim from the likes of VOGUE, NPR, The New York Times, NME, Pitchfork, The FADER, and many more.

The WEEDKILLER universe that Ashnikko has created is a dystopian fantasy that tells the story of a fae civilization occupied and destroyed by machines that feed on organic matter where the faerie protagonist seeks revenge by becoming part machine - a poetic commentary on environmental disaster and the rapid evolution of technology. Full of equal parts naked vulnerability and joyful rebellion, WEEDKILLER gives a thundering voice to the oppressed.

Ashnikko states, "My bioluminescent heart is glowing. My post-apocalyptic fae world is here for you to journey into. My wings have been ripped out, but I've built them anew using WEEDKILLER machine parts. I am the one sent here to eliminate you, WEEDKILLER."
