Eighteen dates, from Boston’s TD Garden on April 1 to the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on May 27. Here’s when tickets go on sale.
For more than a decade, Calvin Harris has been everywhere in North America: on the radio, on festival main stages, in Las Vegas. Everywhere, that is, except on an arena tour of his own.
That changes next spring. On Tuesday (Oct. 13), the Scottish DJ and producer announced an 18-date North American arena tour, promoted by Live Nation. It kicks off April 1, 2027, at TD Garden in Boston and wraps May 27 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
To be fair, it isn’t his first time headlining here. Back in 2010, Harris played a 17-date run of clubs and ballrooms across North America. But arenas are a different league, and this is the first time he’s taking his own show into them.
Is he coming to your city? The tour opens April 1 at Boston’s TD Garden, then moves to Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena on April 2, Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena on April 8 and Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on April 9. From there he heads north for Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on April 12, Montreal’s Bell Centre on April 16 and Hamilton’s TD Coliseum on April 17, before swinging through Texas with stops at Houston’s Toyota Center on April 23, Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena on April 24 and Austin’s Moody Center on April 25.
The Midwest and West follow: St. Paul’s Grand Casino Arena on April 29, Chicago’s United Center on April 30, Salt Lake City’s Delta Center on May 5 and Oakland Arena on May 7. The final stretch brings him to Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on May 14, Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on May 16, San Diego’s Viejas Arena on May 21 and, finally, Los Angeles’s Kia Forum on May 27.
Tickets will be released in stages. Spotify Reserved opens first, on Monday, Oct. 19, at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster for eligible U.S. Spotify Premium subscribers, who can claim up to two tickets each. The artist presale follows on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at noon local time on CalvinHarris.com, with registration already open. The general on-sale then begins Thursday, Oct. 22, at noon local time, also on CalvinHarris.com.
Harris is having the biggest live year of his career. This summer, he played two sold-out shows at Glasgow’s Hampden Park in his native Scotland for more than 100,000 fans, and three sold-out shows in Ireland pushed his U.K. and Ireland total past 210,000 tickets. His 11-date Australian tour sold more than 330,000 tickets. And in February, an estimated 1.6 million people watched him in São Paulo, which earned him a Guinness World Records title for the largest DJ set attendance by a single artist.
The catalog backs it up: more than 56 billion global streams, two U.K. No. 1 albums, 11 U.K. No. 1 singles and 31 U.K. Top 10 hits. The latest of those, “Blessings” with Clementine Douglas, peaked at No. 3. It was followed by “Ocean” featuring Jessie Reyez, “Release the Pressure” with Kasabian and “Satisfy” with Jazzy.
Before the tour, there are more dates in Las Vegas, festival stops in Mexico and Chile, and a sold-out show at Bogotá’s Coliseo MedPlus on Nov. 13.
In February, 1.6 million people in São Paulo. Next spring, 18 arenas in North America. Somehow, the second number sounds like the cozy option.
