Kayo Dot has announced a 2026 North American, their first on the continent since 2017. The tour will start with a show at the Space Ballroom in New Haven, CT on January 8 and wrap up at the Turbohaus in Montreal, QC. Some dates will be opened by Xasthur, as noted below. Get your tickets here.

"We are heading out on our first stateside tour since 2017!", said Kayo Dot mastermind Toby Driver enthuses. "After a year of intense international touring, we're ready to finally bring this music home to play for people across this remarkably varied country and also to our neighbors in Canada. Our recent U.S. shows have revealed a substantial community of passionate listeners here, and we can hardly wait to share the new music with both longtime supporters and new audiences, opening minds along the way.

"We'll be playing music from the critically acclaimed new album as well as fan favorites and deep cuts from the back catalogue. Avant-garde and outsider music creates spaces that don't exist anywhere else, and maybe now more than ever, there's a need for it to exist and offer glimpses of alternative realities. Pick up presale tickets, come to the shows, bring friends, and see what it's all about. See you out there!"
