Electronic trio Tinlicker is heading back to North America with their most ambitious tour yet. The Dutch/UK group has announced a massive 21-date run starting September 16, marking their debut as a fully live trio on this side of the Atlantic.

This North American tour gives fans a chance to experience Tinlicker’s fourth album Dreams of the Machine in a live setting at venues designed for their expanded sound. The announcement comes after the trio wrapped up 15 European dates that saw enthusiastic crowds and critical acclaim for their evolved live approach.

Pre-sale tickets go live April 30 at 12pm ESTfor fans who sign up, with general sale starting May 1.

The band shared their excitement about returning to North American stages: “We’re incredibly grateful for all the positive reactions to our new album. Having finished the journey of our European tour we can’t wait to create new memories in North America, to visit all these amazing cities and venues, and most of all, to enjoy our concerts with every single one of you.”

Dreams of the Machine explores technology’s impact on modern life through 14 danceable tracks that blend Tinlicker’s signature organic instrumentation with electronic production. The album asks fundamental questions about our digital age: “How would a Machine dream? What are the boundaries between the physical and the digital world? Can we both exist in harmony, organic and digital, humans and machines dreaming together?“

The extensive tour kicks off in Chicago and hits major markets including Detroit, Toronto (two nights), New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle before wrapping up October 17 in Vancouver. Notable stops include Brooklyn Paramount, The Wiltern, and Crystal Ballroom Portland.
