The tour kicks off on January 26 with dates in Poland, Germany, Denmark, France, Belgium and The Netherlands before descending upon the UK and Ireland.
After giving Blighty a visit for her six tour dates, Ashnikko will be heading back to her native US for shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and many, many more.
The musician will conclude her tour in September, with shows in New Zealand and Australia.
She began her career in 2016 but gained huge popularity in 2019, when her single Stupid featuring Baby Tate went viral on TikTok.
As a result, the song was declared certified platinum in both the United States and Canada.
Her debut mixtape, Demidevil was released in January 2021, with singles released including Daisy and Slumber Party.
Her debut studio album, Weedkiller, released in 2023, followed by Smoochies which came out in October last year.
Speaking about her sophomore album, she expressed: ““Smoochies feels like Demidevil’s older sister.
“It’s sexy, playful, and feminine, while toeing the line of grotesque and absurd. I feel like purse sediment so much of the time – like a mess of crumbs and gum in receipts and lipgloss that I’ve forgotten about – so the album feels like that too.
“This is the first where I’ve written very autobiographically, but at the core of it all is personal autonomy and joyful whimsy.”
