Few musical journeys capture the essence of vulnerability quite like LANY’s “Soft World Tour,” which kicks off on January 23, 2026, in Dubai and promises to redefine the band’s artistic trajectory through June 2026. The tour, supporting their 2024 album “Soft,” represents a significant departure from the group’s previous concerts, embracing themes of emotional openness inspired by frontman Paul Klein’s accident and subsequent recovery earlier that year.
Spanning five continents with stops at prestigious venues including Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome and London’s OVO Arena Wembley, this ambitious schedule marks LANY’s most extensive global reach to date. The tour will visit traditional strongholds like Chicago and Brooklyn while also expanding into emerging markets across South America and Asia, reflecting the band’s growing international appeal. The band has implemented thorough sound checking procedures at each venue to ensure consistent audio quality despite the varied acoustic environments.
LANY’s global conquest continues, bridging continents and cultures while cementing their status as international indie-pop icons.
Concert-goers can expect a carefully curated 90-minute setlist balancing new material with established favorites. Tracks like “Act My Age” and “Make Me Forget” from the “Soft” album will share stage time with classics such as “ilysb” and “Malibu Nights,” creating a performance that honors longtime fans while showcasing the band’s evolution. Based on recent shows in Australia, fans can anticipate hearing emotional hits like ex i never had and other fan favorites that have become tour staples. The encore typically concludes with the energetic “XXL,” leaving audiences on an uplifting note despite the introspective nature of much of the new material.
Production elements for the tour deliberately move away from flashy pop concert tropes, instead focusing on atmospheric lighting and immersive visuals that complement the album’s themes of resilience and vulnerability. This approach stands in stark contrast to the band’s earlier, more upbeat productions, signaling a maturation in both songwriting and performance style.
Early ticket sales indicate strong demand across diverse markets, with fans responding positively to the band’s more introspective direction. The band has leveraged streaming platforms to build anticipation for the tour, allowing fans to engage with the new material before experiencing it live. The final show is scheduled for April 25th in Fort Worth, Texas, capping off what promises to be a transformative experience for both the band and their followers. The tour’s emphasis on emotional connection rather than spectacle appears to be resonating with an expanding demographic that now includes older listeners alongside LANY’s established younger fan base, cementing this tour as perhaps their most significant artistic statement to date.
