RÜFÜS DU SOL Announces Biggest North American Tour Ever
RÜFÜS DU SOL just announced their most ambitious North American run to date—24 summer dates hitting stadiums and legendary venues that electronic acts rarely headline. Madison Square Garden. Wrigley Field. Fenway Park. The Gorge. This isn't a festival circuit; it's a full-scale stadium tour from a live electronic trio proving the genre can fill baseball parks.
The Venues Tell the Story
The routing reads like a list of American cultural landmarks. In New York, they're headlining Madison Square Garden after last year's stop at Sports Illustrated Stadium. In Chicago, they move from topping Lollapalooza's bill to headlining Wrigley Field. Boston gets Fenway Park. San Diego gets Petco Park. These aren't typical electronic music venues—they're spaces reserved for legacy acts and major touring forces.
The tour kicks off with two nights at The Gorge Amphitheatre on June 5-6, wraps at Toronto's Rogers Centre on September 5, and includes a Saturday night headline slot at Bonnaroo. Support comes from Maribou State, Fcukers, Ben Böhmer, Jack J, and Peces Raros rotating throughout the dates.

The Context
This announcement follows a 2025 that saw RÜFÜS DU SOL break the record for highest-selling electronic tour. Across nearly 50 headline dates worldwide, they sold over 750,000 tickets and performed to more than 1.5 million fans. The Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album (they lost to FKA twigs' EUSEXUA) confirmed what touring data already showed—the Australian trio has reached a level few electronic acts achieve.
The "Inhale / Exhale World Tour" supporting their 2024 album has generated $71.2 million across 98 reported shows, with an average nightly gross of $1.2 million. Those numbers landed them at #64 on Pollstar's Top Tours of the Year Worldwide chart—the highest-grossing electronic tour of 2025.
What Makes It Work
RÜFÜS DU SOL's live show isn't just DJing—it's a full band performance mixing live instrumentation with electronic production. Jon George, James Hunt, and Tyrone Lindqvist create music that works both on festival stages and in intimate club settings, then scale it to stadium production without losing what makes it connect.
They've also built infrastructure beyond touring. Their Rose Avenue Records imprint develops artists, while their boutique Sundream festival in Tulum and Baja creates cultural touchpoints that extend beyond typical touring cycles. This isn't just a band on the road; it's an ecosystem.

The Verdict
RÜFÜS DU SOL headlining Wrigley Field and Madison Square Garden represents a genuine breakthrough for electronic music in North America. These venues rarely host electronic acts, and when they do, it's usually heritage names or crossover pop acts. A live electronic trio filling baseball stadiums demonstrates that the genre can compete at the highest levels of the touring industry. Whether this opens doors for other acts or remains an outlier depends on who follows, but right now, RÜFÜS DU SOL is redefining what's possible for electronic music in America's largest venues.
