The Bonobo Live tour lands in Dublin on Tuesday February 16th, part of a UK and EU run tied to new album Distance in Static, out September 11th.
Bonobo has announced a Dublin show at the National Stadium on Tuesday February 16th 2027, part of a UK and European tour running through February and March.
It’s Simon Green’s first live tour since 2022’s Fragments, following a run of North American dates this November and December. Speaking to Mixmag as part of a recent cover feature, Green said this run brings a bigger visual element and pushes further into electronic sounds, describing it as a hybrid of his solo modular synth shows and his full live band, with more pacing and energy than last time.
The tour supports new album Distance in Static, out September 11th on Ninja Tune, featuring Arooj Aftab, Joy Crookes, Nilüfer Yanya, Ichiko Aoba, Nicole Miglis and Aanya Martin, with lyrics in English, Urdu and Japanese. Much of the record was completed at Neil Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch in California, where Green spent several weeks earlier this year.
Tickets go on general sale Friday September 11th at 10am local time, with presale opening Tuesday September 8th at 10am, via laylo.com/bonobo.
