Diiv Announce 47-Date 2027 World Tour for ZIRP! Album

Brooklyn-based shoegaze band Diiv have announced a sprawling 47-date world tour for 2027, supporting their upcoming fifth studio album ZIRP!. The tour kicks off in Sydney on February 12 and wraps in London on June 30, spanning Australia, Japan, North America, and Europe. Tickets go on sale October 30 via Ticketmaster.

The Album: ZIRP! and New Single

ZIRP!—produced by A.G. Cook (Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek)—marks Diiv’s first full-length since 2024’s Frog in Boiling Water. The album arrives October 30 on Fantasy Recordings, featuring recent singles like “The Fountain,” “Kid,” and the latest, “Dare Me.” The latter, described as a blend of breezy rock, dream pop, and psychedelia, premiered alongside a music video shot in an empty office, reflecting the band’s evolving aesthetic.

Cook, known for his hyperpop and experimental production, took an unconventional approach to ZIRP!. He prioritized live instrumentation, recording drums and guitar parts with minimal digital intervention. The result, he says, pushes Diiv into “new territory” while maintaining their signature shoegaze intensity.

Tour Dates and Highlights

The 2027 tour begins with festival appearances in Australia and New Zealand, including four stops at Laneway Festival. After two shows in Tokyo, the band heads to North America for a month-long run, hitting cities like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto. The European leg includes major festivals like Primavera Sound (Barcelona) and Best Kept Secret (Netherlands), culminating in a hometown show at London’s Troxy.

Key dates: - Australia/New Zealand/Japan: Feb 12–25 (Laneway Festival, Kanda Square Hall) - North America: Apr 7–May 21 (Minneapolis to San Diego) - Europe/UK: May 31–Jun 30 (Lille to London)

What to Expect from Diiv Live

Fans can anticipate a dynamic live experience. Diiv’s sound—often labeled “shoegaze” or “dream pop”—balances hypnotic guitar textures with propulsive rhythms. Their 2024 album Frog in Boiling Water earned praise for its raw energy, and ZIRP! promises a similar blend of atmosphere and rock edge. The band’s recent visuals, including a music video for “Kid” filmed by frontman Zachary Cole Smith’s son, hint at a more cinematic approach to their performances.
