RL Grime Details New Album PLAY, 2023 Tour Dates

Electronic music producer RL Grime has announced his third album, PLAY, to arrive on September 15th ahead of a North American tour this fall.

According to its official description, the 21-track project will be split into three sections composed of seven tracks. “APEX” will simulate the RL Grime festival experience, while “GRID” features collaborations, “epic hooks and melodies,” and “RUSH” showcases “new space grounded in some of his deepest musical inspirations” including “deep house, future breaks and techno with a signature RL twist.” In July, the producer shared one snippet each from “APEX,” “GRID,” and “RUSH” on his social accounts. Hear more in the full PLAY announcement video below.

The album release will be followed shortly after by RL Grime’s Fall 2o23 North American jaunt, which launches in San Diego on October 26th and hits Chicago, New York, Atlanta and more before closing in Ontario, California on November 24th. He’ll be supported on most dates by JAWNS and 33 Below.

A Live Nation pre-sale opens beginning Wednesday, August 10th (use access code TRACK), with a general on sale following on Friday, August 11th via Ticketmaster.

Once tickets are on sale, you can also find them at StubHub, where orders are 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program. StubHub is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

PLAY marks the first full-length solo output from RL Grime since 2018’s Nova. Along with standard pre-order options, the album is being offered in a special edition package of four custom SD cards via RL Grime’s website.
