Helsloot announces first ever North American solo headline tour
Helsloot lands in North America for the first time as a headlining solo act this May and June. The Dutch producer behind ‘Because You Move Me’ with Tinlicker takes on eleven shows across eleven cities in the US and Canada. It also marks a long-awaited arrival for one of melodic dance music’s defining producers of the decade.
Notably, the underlying catalogue carries serious weight. ‘Because You Move Me’ has crossed over 600 million streams on Spotify alone. The track has gone Platinum in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, plus Gold across Canada, France, and the Netherlands. The song has quietly become one of melodic dance music’s defining records of the decade.
“I’ve always felt the love from across the ocean,” Helsloot said. “Now I’m getting to play all my songs for the first time in all these incredible places in North America. I’m looking forward to meet and dance together with all these lovely people. I’m also bringing lots of new music which makes this tour even more special.”
Then there’s new music on the way. A new single is set to drop in June 2026. Select dates on the tour offer North American audiences their very first listen of the unreleased material in a live setting. The run also follows his recent 14-track artist mix album ‘Body Language Vol. 27’ for Get Physical’s signature series.
Crucially, the North American tour sits at the centre of a watershed year. Helsloot has already supported Tinlicker across Europe in 2026. He will then close out the year with first-ever appearances at both Awakenings and Tomorrowland this summer. His recent single with Beacon, ‘I Was There’, also got a Booka Shade rework in April.
Plus, his catalogue spans labels including Get Physical, Anjunadeep, This Never Happened, and Ritter Butzke. The sound is rooted in melodic techno and disco but pulled in unexpected directions by his hip-hop instincts. Find tickets and full tour dates via the official Helsloot site.
