The tour kicks off in September with two dates in Japan, before November and December sees Nia Archives bring her live show across North America, Europe and London, where she'll play Alexandra Palace on the 26th November with Cannelle, NEW YORK and Trickpony on the bill. January will see her return to Australia for two shows in Melbourne and Sydney.
Pre-sale tickets are available Tuesday 25th at 10:00am BST via this link, with general on sale live Thursday 27th at 10:00am BST via this link.
Earlier this year, Nia Archives took her debut live show on a run of exclusive, sold-out intimate show dates in Leeds, London and NYC. This summer, crowds at Forbidden Fruit Festival in Dublin, Parklife in Manchester, Sonar Barcelona and Boardmasters in Cornwall caught a glimpse of the new set up, with the shows receiving a strong reception from fans as the Emotional Junglist era continues to unfold.
Released on the 17th July via Island Records, Emotional Junglist marked her biggest sonic leap to date. Shortlisted for the 2026 Mercury Prize, the album earned her first #1 on the Official Dance Chart and has received critical acclaim from outlets including The Observer, The Guardian, The Times, Pitchfork, NME, The Fader, Dazed and Rolling Stone UK. Written throughout 2025 with Ethan P. Flynn (FKA Twigs, David Byrne), Julia Michaels (Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter) and James Ford (Arctic Monkeys), the album is described as a record of dualities, with heartbreak running throughout. The album features Sampha on 'Tender' and Jorja Smith on 'Get Me Down', alongside singles 'Vertical', 'Danger', 'Boys In Blue' and 'There Goes Ma Head'.
