Vana: The Lady In Red

Photographing Vana at Mahall’s on April 29, 2026 for the first time was an incredible experience, but seeing the energy they brought to the stage in person was even more impactful. The band is currently embarking on their first headlining run, The Lady In Red Tour, and it’s clear they are stepping into a major moment in their career.

The tour featured supporting artists Deadlands, RedHook, and Chandler Leighton. Chandler Leighton was added to the lineup later in the tour cycle, but despite the limited preparation time, still delivered an unforgettable performance and completely won over the crowd.

Each artist brought powerhouse vocals and commanding stage presence throughout the night, creating an atmosphere that felt both chaotic and cinematic from behind the lens.

Vana closed out the sold-out show with crowd favorites including “Bite Back” and “Pray,” the band’s breakout single released in November 2025. Since signing with Sumerian Records (https://sumerianrecords.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com) in late 2025, the band has shown no signs of slowing down.

In April 2026, Vana also released their newest single, “In Your Name,” serving as an introduction to their upcoming full-length album expected later this fall.

With momentum building quickly, Vana is proving to be one of the most exciting rising bands to watch right now so keep your eyes peeled for the next tour.
