Mareux is taking his shadow-laced romance on a trek across the Atlantic. The Los Angeles darkwave artist — the project of musician and producer Aryan Ashtiani — has announced a short run of 2026 UK and European dates, beginning October 30 at Hootananny Brixton in London and continuing through Paris/Montreuil, Athens, Istanbul, and Tbilisi. Current listings place the Paris-area date at Bal Chavaux in Montreuil, the Athens date at Floyd Live Music Venue, the Istanbul date at IF Performance Hall Beşiktaş, and the Tbilisi date at Academy.

The dates follow the release of last year’s Nonstop Romance, Mareux’s 2025 full-length for Revolution/Warner Records, a record that widened his smoldering synth-pop into something grander, sleeker, and more fatalistically romantic. The album includes “Blackmail,” “Radio Club,” “Wild At Heart,” “Ébène Fumé” featuring Riki, “Blue,” “Laugh Now Cry Later,” and “Snake Eyes.” Its most recent visual, the August 2025 video for “Wild At Heart,” still serves as a fitting doorway into the record’s world of bruised glamour, late-night longing, and doomed devotion.

Mareux first emerged from the Los Angeles underground in the early 2010s, releasing the Decade EP in 2013 and Predestiny in 2020. Ashtiani has described early musical sparks that ranged from Eurodance heard during summers in Iran to the post-punk revival pull of Interpol and Editors; later, the cold electronic intensity of TR/ST helped steer the project toward its current darkwave direction.

His best-known release remains “The Perfect Girl,” a brooding cover of The Cure’s 1987 song that became a viral streaming phenomenon in 2021. The track’s second life helped introduce Mareux’s cold, romantic synth sound to a much wider audience; its 2022 video starred Violet Chachki, and Warner’s 2023 press materials noted hundreds of millions of streams and billions of TikTok sound views around the track.

That momentum carried Mareux into larger rooms and major festivals. In 2023, he played both weekends of Coachella, released his debut album Lovers From The Past, and launched a headlining global tour with stops in Los Angeles, New York, Berlin, London, and more. He has also appeared at dark-alternative gatherings, including Darker Waves 2023 and Cruel World 2025.

Before heading overseas, Mareux will appear as a special guest for AFI at an outdoor Santa Ana show on September 19 at Observatory Festival Grounds, with Kumo 99 and L.A. Witch also on the bill.

The post Los Angeles Darkwave Artist Mareux Announces Fall 2026 UK and European Tour Dates appeared first on Post-Punk.com.

In a move that has completely blindsided both the heavy music community and the hip-hop underground, Knocked Loose and Denzel Curry have officially shattered genre boundaries by announcing a massive, 24-date North American co-headlining tour for fall 2026. If you thought their collaborative track “Hive Mind” was just a one-off experiment, think again.

We have been tracking the insane trajectory of both of these artists closely, and this pairing is easily one of the most volatile, high-energy live bills of the decade. The continent is absolutely not ready for the chaos that is about to erupt this September.

From “Hive Mind” to a Full-Blown Continental Onslaught

This historic pairing didn’t just happen by accident. Earlier this year, the track “Hive Mind” proved that Knocked Loose’s skull-melting metallic hardcore and Denzel Curry’s aggressive, chaotic rap style fit together like gasoline and a match. The accompanying music video—directed by Eric Richter alongside Knocked Loose vocalist Bryan Garris—showcased their shared visual grit right in the band’s hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

Now, they are taking that raw energy out of the studio and onto the pavement. The massive 24-date trek officially kicks off this September, tearing through major metropolitan hubs including Chicago, New York City, Toronto, Los Angeles, Austin, Denver, and an ultimate closer in Mexico City.

If you want in on this madness, you need to act fast. The artist presale kicks off on Tuesday, June 2, with general on-sale tickets becoming available to the public on Thursday, June 4.

Unstoppable Momentum: Dominating the Global Stage

Both acts are currently operating at the absolute peak of their creative and commercial powers. Knocked Loose is currently overseas playing directly before the legendary Metallica across Europe, hot on the heels of their universally lauded 2024 full-length You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To. That definitive album—produced by heavy-music hitmaker Drew Fulk—secured the band a historic Grammy nomination for the chaotic anthem “Suffocate” featuring Poppy. It completely redefined what a modern independent hardcore band can achieve, selling out massive rooms alongside Show Me The Body, Speed, and Loathe.

Denzel Curry has been on an equally relentless tear. After supporting alternative metal icons Deftones across their massive UK and European run earlier this spring, Curry dropped his highly anticipated collaborative project Strictly 4 The Scythe. Featuring a murderer’s row of talent including A$AP Ferg, TiaCorine, BKTHERULA, and Key Nyata, the release solidified his status as a rap artist with an undeniable rock-leaning intensity. Seeing these two forces share a marquee is history in the making.

They formally broke into the heavy music mainstream with 2016’s landmark debut Laugh Tracks—famous for the viral track “Counting Worms”—before pushing into even more experimental, bleak, and terrifying sonic territory on their 2019 sophomore masterpiece A Different Shade Of Blue. Today, they stand as the undeniable vanguard of modern heavy music.
