On Wednesday (March 4), Zeds Dead announced a summer tour that the duo is calling its biggest run ever.
Beginning the first weekend of July with two sold-out performances at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the 15-show, 12-city North American tour is made up of mostly amphitheater sets at venues including New York’s Forest Hills Stadium and Austin’s Germania Insurance Amphitheater, along with a pair of shows at Los Angeles’ Grand Park, where the tour will end in early October. See the complete tour schedule below.
Called “Journey of a Lifetime,” the tour will put forth a major production and a career-spanning set reaching back to the tour’s namesake, one of the first tracks Zeds Dead ever put online back in 2009. The pair, Zachary Rapp-Rovan and Dylan Mamid, advise that they’ll be taking time off in 2027, so this tour will go “all out on production, new music, and stage design to bring you a new show that will take you on a magical journey. A journey of a lifetime.”
Tickets for the tour go on sale March 11. The tour will feature a rotating collection of support acts including Alleycvt, Daily Bread, Deathpact, Dr. Fresch, Imanu, Ivy Lab, Mary Droppinz, Moody Good, and Whethan.
“Journey of a Lifetime is one of the first tracks we uploaded to the World Wide Web as Zeds Dead way back in 2009,” Rapp-Rovan and Mamid says in a joint statement. “17 years later, it feels like it was a prophecy. We might have not realized it at the time, but we were in fact blasting off into space and leaving behind life as we knew it. This journey is your journey with us as well. We’ve grown up together and celebrated life. We’ve created a world together, and the Journey of a Lifetime tour aims to be our most thorough exploration of it.
“This will be our biggest tour yet, as it’s taking place in large outdoor venues and we’re going to make it the best show we can make,” they continue. “It will be the grand finale of everything we’ve been working on. It’s not the end though. To quote something we sampled in a beat once ‘Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.’ We’ll be taking some time off in 2027 so we’re going all out on production, new music, and stage design to bring you a new show that will take you on a magical journey. A journey of a lifetime. See you there.”
Zeds Dead released its most recent album, Return to the Spectrum of Intergalatic Happiness, last March. 2026 also marks the ten year anniversary of the duo’s label, Deadbeats.
