Nia Archives has announced a 19-date Emotional Junglist world tour, her biggest headline run to date, following a summer stacked with festival appearances. The jungle revivalist revealed the dates just after headlining the West Stage at All Points East, where she also made a surprise appearance during Jorja Smith's closing set.

The tour opens with two dates in Japan in September, in Osaka and Tokyo, before moving on to North America and Europe across November and December. The run includes Nia Archives's biggest London headline show yet, at Alexandra Palace on November 26, with Cannelle, NEW YORK and Trickpony joining the bill. From there she heads to Australia for shows in Melbourne and Sydney in January.

The world tour follows a run of sold-out intimate shows earlier this year in Leeds, London and New York, alongside festival slots at Forbidden Fruit, Parklife, Sonar and Boardmasters, all building toward a full-scale headline run behind her latest album.

That album, Emotional Junglist, came out in July and was shortlisted for the 2026 Mercury Prize, and it gave Nia Archives her first UK number one on the Official Dance Chart. It features collaborations with Sampha on "Tender" and Jorja Smith on "Get Me Down," two of the record's standout guest turns.

Pre-sale tickets for the tour go live Tuesday, August 25 at 10am BST, with the general on-sale following Thursday, August 27 at 10am. The run adds Nia Archives to a busy fall and winter of electronic touring tracked on the tour guide.
