Polyphia Are Taking Their Wildest Tour Yet Across the Globe This Fall

Polyphia have been way too quiet for way too long. Outside of Tim Henson's solo single "Original Sin" and the fighting game theme "Let's Go" for 2KXO, things had been relatively still since Remember That You Will Die dropped back in October 2022. That silence just got shattered. The band announced a 47-date world tour spanning North America, Europe, and the UK this fall and winter, and they did it right on the heels of their first new single in over four years.

"Can You Feel It" and a New Era

Last week, Polyphia surprise-dropped "Can You Feel It" on June 11th, and honestly, it hit different. The track leans hard into their EDM side with this bombastic djent-house sound while keeping the guitar-driven crunch that makes them who they are. It was produced by Henson, Scott LePage, and RJ Pasin, with mixing handled by Zakk Cervini. If this is a taste of what's coming on their fifth record, I'll be real, the hype is justified.

Henson directed and edited the music video himself, and today (June 16th) the band also released a separate performance video directed by EVERS that showcases the track in a live setting. Two videos in less than a week. These guys are not messing around.

The Tour Dates

The North American leg kicks off September 5th at South Side Ballroom in Dallas (a hometown-adjacent opener for the Plano, Texas natives) and runs 27 dates through October 18th in Nashville at The Truth. In between, you're looking at stops at Hollywood Palladium in LA, The Masonic in San Francisco, JUNKYARD in Denver, Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Brooklyn Paramount in New York, The Fillmore in Philly, and a ton more.

After wrapping up North America, the band heads across the Atlantic for a 20-date EU/UK run starting November 18th in Zurich at Halle 622 and closing out December 16th at O2 Academy Brixton in London. The European routing hits Barcelona, Milan, Munich, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and more.

All EU/UK dates w/ Perturbator & RJ Pasin

The Support Lineup

The support bills on this tour are stacked and smartly curated. Instrumental hyperpop guitarist RJ Pasin is on every single date worldwide, which makes sense given he co-produced "Can You Feel It." Latin punk band Ladrones handles primary support duties across North America. Then for the EU/UK run, French synthwave legend Perturbator steps in as direct support. If you know Perturbator's dark, retrofuturistic sound, you already know that pairing is going to be unreal.

On top of that, progressive instrumental guitarist Plini joins the bill in Raleigh, and Intervals hop on for Toronto and Montreal. Those particular nights are going to be something special for the prog guitar crowd.

Why This Tour Matters

Let's put this in perspective. Remember That You Will Die debuted at number 33 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Hard Rock Albums chart. Guitar World readers voted it the best guitar album of 2022 and ranked Steve Vai's solo on "Ego Death" the best guitar solo of that year. Polyphia have been building toward something massive since they formed in Plano, Texas back in 2011, moving from instrumental rock into this genre-defying blend of hip-hop, EDM, jazz, bossa nova, and everything in between. The fact that they've gone four years between singles only amplifies the anticipation around whatever this next album cycle is going to look like.

These are not small rooms, either. Hollywood Palladium, Aragon Ballroom, Brooklyn Paramount, O2 Academy Brixton. This is a band playing venues that match their ambition.
