2020 has been a rough year for live music. 2019, however, was a dream.
It’s been five years since Halsey released her debut album Badlands. And today, she’s revisited the record that launched her career with something we’re all craving, a throwback to live music.
Her very first live album, Badlands (Live From Webster Hall) was cut last year during her two-night stand at NYC’s famed venue.
Halsey gave her fans a warning earlier in the week. She tweeted: “Secret is out! After 5 years, we’re going back to the Badlands. This Friday, August 28th, I am excited to share my very first ever live album.”

As the live set dropped at midnight, Halsey wrote: “I miss performing for you live more than anything in the world so here I am. Right in your bedroom. Badlands Live From Webster Hall is out now.”
