Air announces the North American leg of their acclaimed 2025 Moon Safari Tour. Following a 30-date EU/UK tour run starting late May, the legendary French band will kick off the 12-date North American tour with a night to remember at the Hollywood Bowl alongside the Bowl’s Orchestra. They will then take their lauded show across the US and Canada with dates in San Diego, San Francisco, and Chicago, among others, before concluding with a multi-night residency at the Brooklyn Paramount in New York. Tickets will be available for presale this Thursday at 10 AM local time HERE. All tickets will be available for purchase on May 2nd at 10 AM local time HERE. Produced by Live Nation in association with CAA – Corida NCLS – Prototyp, the tour will also offer a VIP package and experience for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. The package includes reserved tickets, official tour poster, first drink on us, exclusive merchandise & more. For more information, visit vipnation.com.
At the end of the 20th century, Moon Safari catapulted Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel to the uppermost rung of electronic music’s ladder and left an indelible mark on pop culture with over 3 million albums sold. In 2024, Air celebrated the 25th anniversary of Moon Safari by reissuing the record in a Deluxe audio-video package and playing their legendary opus live in its entirety for the first time – 77 shows across the most prestigious venues of Europe, North America, Latin America, Australia, and Asia sold out in record time.
More recently, Air’s Nicolas Godin and British producer and electronic artist Joe Thornalley, also known as Vegyn, sat down with veteran music producer Nigel Godrich for a rich hour-long conversation about life, creativity, influences, and production, published to the band’s YouTube channel. The shared verve was translated to Vegyn’s rework of Air’s Moon Safari from beginning to end on Blue Moon Safari released for Record Store Day a couple of weeks ago. In a daring crossover of genres and eras, Vegyn reimagined Air’s Moon Safari entirely. Vegyn came to prominence thanks to his work with the likes of Frank Ocean and Travis Scott and has made a name for himself as a forward-thinking producer who blends lush, atmospheric soundscapes with experimental beats and a sense of unpredictability.

The Best New Albums out this week – NPR
Best New Music – KCRW
“It’s a full-circle, genre warping reinvention that introduces Air’s legacy to a new generation.” The 10 best remix albums of All Time – DAZED
Air’s boundary-pushing album has long been praised for its innovative sonics that have inspired countless musicians to think outside the box, so much so that their influence even transcended their own medium. The band’s unique brand of downtempo electronic music not only sculpted the sound for the next generation of electronic-influenced pop music but was also able to withstand the test of time in its own right. Moon Safari is a mood you want to live inside of forever.
