Chaz Bear known professionally as Toro y Moi has announced a headline tour across the UK and Europe, in celebration of his new album ‘Hole Erth‘, which is out now.
The tour commences in March 2025 at Vicar Street in Dublin, before moving to New Century Hall, Manchester and The Roundhouse in London. Tickets go on general sale this Friday at 9am BST, purchase links are available on Toro y Moi’s official website. Fans who follow Toro y Moi on Spotify will have access to an exclusive pre-sale from Wednesday at 9am.
Across the thirteen-track ‘Hole Erth’, which follows last year’s transitional EP ‘Sandhills‘, Toro y Moi synthesizes a love of pop-punk and processed, vapor-wave rap. The album’s title is an homage to Whole Earth, Stewart Brand’s DIY periodical from the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, the central purpose of which was to empower people to be holistically self-sufficient.
What may feel like a sharp pivot to some is in fact a natural reflection of existing threads in Chaz Bear’s prolific career; from his childhood immersion in Y2K emo culture, to his past production work for some of the biggest names in rap. ‘Hole Erth’, Bear’s eight studio album, features Benjamin Gibbard, Elijah Kessler, Don Toliver, Kevin Abstract and more.
Coinciding with the album release, Toro y Moi has shared two new Kristie Muller-directed music videos for album tracks ‘Madonna’ and ‘Babydaddy’.
