Kaytranada announces UK and European arena tour with Uncle Waffles

The Grammy-winning producer will bring his in-the-round live show to London, Manchester and Birmingham this June.

Kaytranada tour

Kaytranada has announced a major UK and European arena tour for June, bringing his acclaimed live show back to the continent following last year’s co-headline run with Justice. South African DJ and producer Uncle Waffles will join as special guest across the UK dates.

The tour launches on 1st June in Amsterdam and runs through to 25th June, taking in cities including Berlin, Paris and Milan. UK shows are confirmed for London’s The O2 (18th June), Utilita Arena Birmingham (20th June) and Manchester’s Co-op Live (23rd June).

These dates will feature the same in-the-round production that debuted during KAYTRANADA’s recent tour with Justice, a set-up that places rhythm and movement at the centre of the room. The format was widely praised for its clarity and energy, allowing his beat-led catalogue to translate at full scale.

The tour follows the release of Ain’t No Damn Way!, Kaytranada’s latest album, released in August via RCA Records. The record marked a deliberate return to his roots as a beatmaker, threading classic influences through contemporary club production. Across the album, he reworks samples from artists including TLC, J Dilla and Tangerine Dream, grounding them in a sound designed for the dancefloor.

Last autumn’s tour with Justice was seen as a high point in his live evolution, reuniting the two acts after their joint performance at Paris’ Sacré-Cœur during the 2024 summer solstice. That momentum now carries into a run of headline arena shows in his own right.

Tickets go on general sale Friday 13th February at 10am, with presales running from Tuesday 10th February. Full details are available via Metropolis Music.
