Blood Orange has announced details of a UK and European tour, set to kick off later this year. Check out the details below.
Shared today (July 8), they follow on from the artist and producer’s upcoming US tour dates, which will see him perform in San Francisco, Columbus, Boston, Las Vegas, Inglewood and more throughout September and mid-October.
Kicking off on October 29, the new shows begin with a stop at the Columbiahalle in Berlin, before continuing with a gig at the TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht on November 4. Between these dates will be festival appearances at Torino’s C2C Festival and Paris’ Pitchfork Festival on October 31 and November 3 respectively.
Three back-to-back London performances are planned for November 8, 9 and 10, taking place at the Alexandra Palace Theatre. For these, an intimate “in the round” stage production will take place, with Blood Orange performing in the centre of the venue. This, he says, will offer a unique, immersive experience for fans, along with a 360-degree view.
The UK tour dates wrap up with a penultimate stop at Electric Bristol on November 13, followed by a final stop at Manchester’s AO Arena two days later (15).

For the aforementioned US tour dates, Blood Orange will be supporting other artists with whom he has worked in the past. Shows in Columbus and Richmond will see him join Turnstile, whom he joined for their new album ‘Never Enough’.
For the rest of the US shows in September and October, he will be joining Lorde as part of her huge tour celebrating the release of ‘Virgin’. This comes as Blood Orange – whose real name is Dev Hynes – produced the songs on the Kiwi singer’s latest record. The show in Manchester on November 15 will be a support slot with Lorde too.
Tickets for the new shows go on sale on Friday (July 11) at 10am local time, and pre-orders will be available from tomorrow (July 9) at 10am too. Check out a list of shows above, visit here for UK tickets, and here for international tickets.
News of the new tour comes after Blood Orange was listed as one of the top artists on TikTok for 2024. This came as his song ‘Champagne Coast’ enjoyed a surge in popularity despite being released in 2011.
The song was listed as one of the top songs on the social media platform at the end of the year – making the cut alongside Djo‘s track ‘End Of Beginnings’, ‘Nasty’ by Tinashe, (which was at the centre of the “match my freak” trend) and Benson Boone‘s ‘Beautiful Things’.
