By holding nothing back, Haiden Henderson has quietly incited a cult-level of adoration since his emergence in 2021. He initially buzzed with the Good Grief EP [2022] followed by the Choke on My Heart EP [2024] and the lover boy EP [2024]. The latter spawned “hell of a good time,” which popped off to the tune of 25 million streams. He sold out headline shows in addition to sharing stages with everyone from MICO to Landon Barker. Along the way, he received acclaim courtesy of PAPER Magazine, Rolling Stone, Vogue, and more. Simultaneously, he attracted a devout audience of acolytes affectionately dubbed “Haider Nation.” Thus far, he has clocked over 100 million streams, packed houses on tour, and earned tastemaker praise. However, he captivates more than ever before on the 2025 tension EP [LAVA/Republic Records]. Featuring fan favorites “lovesucker,” “lips,” and “sweat,” it sees him sharpen the edges of his signature stadium-size pop with down and dirty D.I.Y. rock ‘n’ roll. This is Haiden at his most unrestrained and undeniable. Experience tension now.
