Olof Dreijer, one half of the Swedish electronic duo the Knife, has announced his first tour as a solo artist, with 15 dates spanning North America and Europe from late September through early November 2026. The tour supports his debut solo album Loud Bloom, a 14-track record released on 8 May 2026 via dh2, an imprint of the London-based label Dirty Hit (BrooklynVegan).

Dreijer revealed the album on 13 March 2026, sharing the single 'Echoed Dafnino' at the same time. Loud Bloom arrived on all digital platforms, with a vinyl edition to follow. The record draws lyrical inspiration from Nigerian author Akwaeke Emezi and explores themes of joy and protest across a set described as colourful club tracks (The Quietus). It is Dreijer's first solo album, though not his first solo work: he released the Rosa Rugosa EP in 2023, ending a solo silence of more than a decade (Pitchfork).

The North American leg opens on 25 September at Ruba Club in Philadelphia, followed by a 26 September show at Knockdown Center in Maspeth, New York. From there the run moves to Sleeping Village in Chicago on 30 September, Transmission in Washington, DC on 2 October, and Making Time in Montreal on 3 October.

The European leg begins nearly three weeks later. Dreijer plays Moriska Paviljongen in Malmö on 23 October, Hotel Cecil in Copenhagen on 24 October, Pustervik in Gothenburg on 29 October, Parkteatret in Oslo on 30 October, and Slaktkyrkan in Stockholm on 31 October — five shows across the Nordic region in eight days. The tour closes at Modus in Berlin on 5 November, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London on 6 November, and the Simple Things Festival in Bristol on 7 November. The London date includes support from Fauzia and Cut Outs (olofdreijer.se).

For fans of the Knife — the sibling project with Karin Dreijer that released four studio albums between 2001 and 2013 — this tour is the first chance to see Olof Dreijer perform his own material live at scale. The venues are mostly small and mid-sized: Sleeping Village holds roughly 300 people; Knockdown Center, an indoor-outdoor arts space in Queens, is the largest room on the itinerary. The routing favours independent and specialist venues over theatres or arenas, which is consistent with the labels and platforms involved — Dirty Hit operates as an independent, and the album was self-announced through Dreijer's own channels before press coverage followed.

Full date and venue details were confirmed by Pitchfork on 6 August 2026.
