Nia Archives takes ‘Emotional Junglist’ on a four-continent tour
Nineteen dates between September and January: it starts in Osaka and Tokyo, crosses North America in November and ends the European leg in Dublin on 8 December. Australia closes the run. General ticket sale opened on 27 August.
Jungle is on the move again. Nia Archives has announced a nineteen-date world tour in support of ‘Emotional Junglist’, spread across Asia, North America, Europe and Australia, from September through to January 2027.
It opens in Japan, with Osaka on 1 September and Tokyo on the 10th. November takes it across North America — Los Angeles, San Francisco, Montreal, Toronto and New York, between the 6th and the 13th — while the European leg starts in Glasgow on 22 November and ends in Dublin on 8 December. Australia closes the run with Melbourne and Sydney, on 6 and 7 January.
‘Emotional Junglist’ is her second studio album, released this summer on Island Records with Jorja Smith and Sampha among the guests. It made the Mercury Prize shortlist, with the winner announced on 22 October.
It is a small fact with a big reading: the sped-up breaks born in British basements thirty years ago now carry a four-continent tour, and they do it without asking anyone for permission.
