The one and only Funklordz Chromeo—the Grammy-nominated duo of Montreal natives David “Dave 1” Macklovitch and Patrick “P-Thugg” Gemayel—will embark on a sprawling North American co-headline tour with The Midnight this fall, plus an international headline run this spring.
The “Chrome Nights” Tour, kicking off in September, will see Chromeo bring their electric live show to Vancouver’s Malkin Bowl, Montreal’s MTELUS, Toronto’s HISTORY and more. Ahead of this, Chromeo will set out on an international headline run in the spring, including dates in London, Paris, Berlin, Scandinavia and Mexico City. See below for the complete itinerary and visit chromeo.net/tour for presale access and tickets.
Presale for all North American dates (Canada, US, Mexico) begins Wednesday, February 14 at 10 a.m. local time, with general on sale Thursday, February 15 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets for all UK/EU dates go on sale Friday, February 16 at 10 a.m. local time.
Chromeo’s long awaited, sixth studio album, Adult Contemporary, is out this Friday, February 16. Across the record’s 14 tracks, the duo explores what it means to be funky in your 30s and 40s, offering the slickest, most sophisticated version of the infectious grooves and cheeky wordplay they’ve become known for. Pre-save/pre-order it here.
Chromeo debuted the new music in live performances last year, first at Coachella and then on their FUNK YOURSELF Tour, their first headline run in five years. The dates included sold-out stops at New York’s Brooklyn Steel, two nights at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall, Austin City Limits and Portola festivals, with their all-new stage setup in tow—including four custom chrome modular synth towers designed with longtime collaborator and contemporary artist Freeka Tet (Aphex Twin, Childish Gambino, YSL).
Synthwave duo The Midnight will join Chromeo on the North American fall run. The band—helmed by Tyler Lyle and Tim McEwan—lives at the intersection of varying sounds, driven by the frictional spark that fires when Southern-born singer/songwriter Lyle melts his all-American dreamer tales with Danish-bred drummer and producer McEwan’s cinematic soundscapes. Their latest album, Red, White and Bruised: The Midnight Live, is out now—listen here.
Chromeo and The Midnight will be joined this fall by special guests Ruth Radelet and Girl Ultra. Ruth Radelet is best known as the lead singer in the seminal electronic band Chromatics. Her solo material expands her sonic palette with hypnotic vocals and dreamy atmospheres. Girl Ultra is a Mexican singer, songwriter and creative director. She has toured extensively and her viral performances on COLORS and Tiny Desk showcase her signature blend of R&B, house and 90s-influenced rock.
After almost two decades of shiny synths and sharp lyrics, Chromeo have set themselves apart as dedicated scholars of the groove, proving time and again that no one does it quite like them. Across their five critically acclaimed LPs, Dave 1 and P-Thugg established an electrofunk sound that has become the lingua franca of pop music. Together, the inseparable friends have toured the world over, perfecting a musical and visual language that is now instantly recognizable—and more refined than ever before.
