Apashe to Embark on 29-Date ‘Antagonist’ Tour With Brass Orchestra Across in Celebration of New Album

Apashe celebrates the upcoming fall release of his new album ‘Antagonist’ by announcing a 29-date tour complete with a brass orchestra.

In anticipation of his new album ‘Antagonist,’ the genre-bending producer Apashe is at large. After releasing the new single “Gasoline” earlier this year, excitement has been building for the artist who recently announced the 29-date ‘Antagonist’ tour kicking off in Denver on October 7.

Stopping in every major North American city, Apashe’s tour will be accompanied by a live eight-piece brass orchestra complete with French horns, trombones, and trumpets. Known for fusing melodic symphonies with upbeat electronica and hints of hip-hop, the Canada-based producer is going all in with this full-spectrum show. 

Apashe has been teasing the tour on socials even before releasing the first track of his album in April. “Gasoline” features Dehli hip-hop artist Raga and is a balance between mystifying darkness and futuristic groove. Synonymous with the suspense of his ‘Antagonist’ album set to release this fall, the producer’s music is renowned for weaponizing the element of surprise. 

Presale is in full swing and members of Apashe’s Majestic Squad are already gearing up for the experience. In response to the ticket release, a fan on Twitter commented, “I was right on that 1st thing this morning.. got my ticket to the Pittsburgh show..!!!” Another fan said, “Tickets secured! See you in DC!!!”

Behind the household Apashe name is mastermind John De Buck. The Belgian-born artist moved to Canada at 19 where he studied production and quickly found success in sound design. Heard in iconic fashion campaigns, films, and video games like John Wick, Yves Saint Laurent, Netflix, Marvel, Fast & Furious, and more, his music is a force to be reckoned with in mainstream and underground realms.

Recent sets at Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Rampage Openair in Belgium, and Main Stage Festival in France may have gotten a taste of ‘Antagonist,’ along with a compilation of his previous ‘Renaissance’ LP and ‘I Killed The Orchestra’ EP. However, the impressive caliber of his upcoming tour has yet to be experienced in its full glory. Coming to a major city near you, Apashe and his brass orchestra are taking over North America this fall with the ‘Antagonist’ tour.

As a music journalist of 5 years, I’m often found on the dancefloor or writing to express myself. I love learning about the world through exploring new perspectives, traveling, and indulging in art forms that connect people. Born and raised as a beach bum in Tampa, FL, I now live in New York City. From FKJ, Mall Grab, Michael Bibi, and Alix Perez to Amy Winehouse, Louis Armstrong, Lana Del Rey, and Mac Miller, using music to set the mood is one of my simplest pleasures.
