Into the Festive World of Kyle Watson

/in /by

Following a string of coveted festival appearances, sold-out headlining 2022 shows, and esteemed record releases, South African DJ and producer Kyle Watson is pleased to announce his forthcoming 12-date ‘My Machines’ tour. Kicking off in Tempe, Arizona in September and wrapping up in Denver, Colorado in late October, Watson will be presenting his brand-new show concept in some of the United States’ most venerated venues. The run will mark his first official U.S. tour since his ‘Into The Morning’ tour in 2018, which accompanied the release of his debut album.

In his ‘My Machines’ tour, Watson aims to tap into this expansive collection to develop a specially curated all-original Kyle Watson DJ set. Each show will feature a blend of the fresh and familiar, the old and the new, and a dash of personal edits and VIP mixes that have remained exclusive to his collection throughout his tenure as an artist. Alongside the auditory component of the experience, Watson has put together a visual element and brand that echoes the concept of ‘My Machines’ including custom visuals.

Tickets for the ‘My Machines’ tour are now available.

Although Europe has a strong scene for electronic music and the same with South America and elsewhere, we can’t ignore the fact that the techno and house scenes in the U.S. have been growing exponentially. Places like North Carolina, Georgia, New Orleans, and even Tennessee now have Techno parties. Many might even be surprised that Dustin Zahn is from Minnesota. Maceo Plex from Dallas and that Dubfire is from Washington DC.

There are 350 million people in the United States alone and with many of them not from the U.S. originally, this is undoubtedly an international country. Cities like New York City, Los Angeles and Detroit are visited by countless tens of thousands each year for music tourism.

If you are an artist looking to play in the States, you should start planning at least 6 months in advance. This is especially so if you plan to play venues such as Output in Brooklyn or Halcyon in San Francisco or Spybar in Chicago which have lineups booked months in advance.
