Renforshort announces the Hotel 13 tour this week, lining up a Canadian run for February 2027 as her second album arrives. Exclaim’s new release calendar lists Hotel 13 for Friday, November 13, 2026, and the tour news, reported November 9, puts the Toronto alt-pop singer songwriter on the road days into the album’s first season.
The tour has a name that matches the record. The Meet Me in the Lobby Tour takes its title from the hotel world of the album, and it is a homegrown run in the full sense: seven cities across four provinces, all in Canada, in February 2027.

Renforshort Hotel 13 and a Canadian February
A seven city Canadian tour is a statement about where renforshort’s audience actually is. Toronto artists in her lane often route through the United States first and treat Canada as a pair of headline dates. A four province February run does the opposite, building the album’s live life at home in the middle of a Canadian winter, in the rooms where her earliest crowds formed.
Hotel 13 is her second album, which makes this the cycle that decides what kind of career follows a breakthrough debut. Second albums are where alt-pop artists either narrow into a formula or widen into a voice. Everything about this rollout, the hotel concept carried from the album title into the tour name, suggests an artist building a world rather than chasing a single.
Toronto’s alt-pop line keeps moving
Renforshort, born Lauren Isenberg in Toronto, came up through the same streaming first ecosystem that carried Tate McRae from Calgary to the top of the Canadian Hot 100 this week. The two stories are different in scale and similar in shape: Canadian singer songwriters who built audiences online, then converted them into album cycles and national tours. For readers tracking canadian hip hop and the wider Toronto scene, that pipeline is the story of this decade in Canadian pop.
Hotel 13 lands November 13. The Meet Me in the Lobby Tour follows in February 2027, seven cities and four provinces, with the album’s world waiting in the lobby.
