Darkside will return to the road this summer, launching a cross‑continental tour that begins on July 10 in Lyon. The trio — led by Nicolas Jaar, Dave Harrington and Tlacael Esparza — are touring in support of their 2025 album Nothing, staging multiple-night runs in major cities and slotting into a number of European festivals.
For listeners, this run matters: after the 2025 release and last year’s renewed activity, the band has rebuilt momentum with live dates that mix club shows, festival stages and concentrated residencies. Fans should expect extended sets and varied programming across the North American and European legs.
Highlights at a glance:
- Tour kickoff: Lyon on July 10.
- Multi-night stands in London, New York and Los Angeles.
- Festival appearances include Dekmantel (Amsterdam) and Gent Jazz (Belgium).

Set lengths and exact start times may differ by venue; at several stops the band plans two performances in one evening, offering an early and a late show on the same night. That format has become a way for them to vary programming and reach more fans without expanding the overall tour footprint.
Darkside’s return is part of a broader wave of acts balancing festival appearances with focused city residencies this season. For followers of experimental electronic and live improvisation, these dates present a clear opportunity to hear the group’s newer material alongside older favorites in different performance contexts.
Keep an eye on the band’s official channels for updates and any additions to the schedule. Shows of this scale can evolve as festival lineups and venue capacities change through the summer and into autumn.
