Joji is taking his biggest album to the biggest stages of his career. The Japanese-born, alt-pop singer and producer has announced the “Solaris Tour,” a global arena run spanning North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand beginning June 16 in Newark, New Jersey. Live Nation promotes the tour, which features an all-new production built around a fully immersive experience. Tickets go on general sale Friday, March 6 at 10am local time.
The tour follows the release of ‘Piss In The Wind,’ a twenty-one track record out now via Palace Creek that lands Joji squarely in arena-sized territory. It debuted at #5 on Billboard’s Top 200, hitting #1 on Current Alternative Albums, Current Pop Albums, and Indie Store Album Sales simultaneously. Internationally, it charted Top Ten in Australia, the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands, with new peak positions in each. Collaborators include Giveon, 4batz, Yeat, and Don Toliver.
The record has already drawn serious attention. CLASH calls Joji “one of the most interesting artists in the alternative, anti-pop sphere,” and Hypebeast says he’s “answering his true calling.” ‘Piss In The Wind’ balances brooding, melancholic songwriting with gritty atmospheric production, landing somewhere between quiet and overwhelming in the best possible way. The “Solaris Tour” marks the first time these songs get performed live.
North American dates run June through July, with support from Nate Sib and Corbin. The European and Australia/New Zealand legs feature Tommy Richman as support. Stops include Scotiabank Arena in Toronto (June 19), Barclays Center in Brooklyn (June 26), Intuit Dome in Los Angeles (July 11), The O2 in London (August 13), and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne (November 17), among many others.
The setlist draws from across Joji’s catalog, including “Glimpse of Us” and “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK,” alongside new material from ‘Piss In The Wind.’ Artist presale registration is open now at jojimusic.com, with presales beginning Wednesday, March 4 at 10am local time.
