Glaive To Join The Kid Laroi On Extensive North American Tour This Summer

Breakout star glaive is set to open for The Kid Laroi on his highly anticipated “The First Time Tour.” The extensive North American run which kicks off in May, includes stops at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, Los Angeles’ The Torch, Washington, D.C.’s The Anthem, Chicago’s Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom and more. See below for complete tour routing. 

Tickets for the summer tour are available for pre-sale today, with general on-sale following this Friday, March 29 at 10:00AM local time. 

glaive’s upcoming performances follow the release of his new EP, a bit of a mad one, which he shared earlier this year—listen here. The new music was recorded during a trip to Alaska with longtime producer Jeff Hazin (aldn, renforshort), Ralph Castelli (Dora Jar, Jesse®) and new collaborator John Cunningham (Miley Cyrus, Lil Nas X). 

a bit of a mad one arrived fresh on the heels of glaive’s debut album i care so much that i dont care at all, which was released in July 2023 on Interscope Records. Likened to ‘90s and 2000s emo with a contemporary approach by Vulture, the musician’s first full-length project earned acclaim from Pitchfork, Billboard, The FADER, FLOOD Magazine,Brooklyn Vegan and more—get the record here. 

glaive’s three previous EPs—cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven (plus its deluxe edition old dog, new tricks) and theni’ll be happy with ericdoa—have also received critical acclaim, landing him at the top of “Best Of” lists from The New York Times, The FADER and more.

Growing up in the small town of Hendersonville, North Carolina, glaive first started making music during the pandemic, collaborating with friends he met online, forming musical collectives and experimenting with production. His subsequent rise was meteoric, powered by a steady stream of new music that quickly earned him acclaim and a devoted following.
