Sudan Archives Announces 2026 North American Tour: Get Ready to Feel the Rhythm
Before diving into the North American dates, letâs talk about the global warm-up. Sudan Archives is kicking things off with a string of European shows in late 2024, hitting Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, and Dublin. These dates arenât just a victory lapâtheyâre a testament to her growing international appeal and the universal language of her music.
But the real story here is the North American leg. Starting January 16, 2026, in Tucson, AZ, Sudan Archives will crisscross the U.S. and Canada, wrapping up in her hometown of Los Angeles on February 20. Along the way, sheâll play iconic venues like Dallasâ Trees, New Yorkâs Webster Hall, Chicagoâs Thalia Hall, and Vancouverâs The Pearl. Itâs a tour that feels both intimate and expansive, touching major music cities and hidden gems alike.
Sudan Archives: The Artist Behind the Hype
Brittney Parks, the visionary behind Sudan Archives, is more than just a musicianâsheâs a movement. A self-taught violinist who learned by ear and YouTube, sheâs a living reminder that the most exciting art often comes from following your own path, no matter how unconventional. Her music is a fusion of classical violin, electronic beats, and the raw energy of the Black underground, creating what she calls âOrchestral Black Dance Music."
Her third album, THE BPM, is all about rhythm as powerâboth literal and metaphorical. As she sings on the title track: âThe BPM is the power.â Itâs a statement that feels especially relevant in a music landscape where artists are increasingly defining their own rules, blending genres, and reclaiming narratives. If youâre into artists like FKA twigs, Moses Sumney, or Janelle MonĂĄe, Sudan Archives is your next obsession.
How to Get Tickets and What to Expect
Tickets for the North American dates are on sale now. If youâre on the fence, hereâs what to expect: electrifying violin solos, beats that make it impossible to stand still, and a performer who radiates joy and intensity in equal measure. This isnât a show you watchâitâs a show you feel.
