Sébastien Tellier returns to North America for first tour since 2014

Sébastien Tellier has announced a North American tour for fall 2026. The French Touch icon returns to American stages for the first time since 2014, with five dates running across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and Mexico City. The run follows the much-lauded ‘Kiss The Beast’ album, out now on Because Music.

The North American run follows a sold-out European tour, including two incredible shows at Paris’s Olympia and London’s KOKO. Sébastien Tellier continues to tour Europe through the end of September.

Beyond the live moves, the studio activity has been just as steady. Last month, Sébastien Tellier unveiled an exclusive collaboration with David Guetta, ‘Thrill of the Night’ featuring Slayyyter and Nile Rodgers. The track currently sits at number one on UK Music Week’s Club Charts.

‘Kiss The Beast’ itself unfolds as an ambitious mosaic. The album brings together Oscar Holter, SebastiAn, Victor Le Masne and Daniel Stricker, alongside strings from Owen Pallett, guitar from Nile Rodgers and appearances from Kid Cudi and Slayyyter. Tellier described it as “a boundless love letter to pop, both intimate and universal”.

Before ‘Kiss The Beast’, Sébastien Tellier was last heard on 2020’s ‘Domesticated’. Since then, he has worked on three film soundtracks, released two EPs, produced for fellow artists and delivered one of the standout performances at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games with his timeless ‘La Ritournelle’.

His catalogue includes a string of cult classics across pop, instrumental and electronic music. Tracks like ‘L’amour et la violence’, ‘Sexual Sportswear’, ‘Fantino’, ‘Universe’, ‘Divine’, ‘Roche’, ‘Cochon ville’ and ‘Fingers of Steel’ have shaped the French Touch conversation. Plus, his signature look, long hair, beard, cap and dark sunglasses, has made him a regular collaborator with leading fashion houses.

Now, with the tour locked in, fans across North America have one shot to catch one of the most distinctive voices in French electronic music in five years. Find more from Sébastien Tellier via Because Music.
