Nia Archives is extending the momentum behind Emotional Junglist with a 19-date world tour, translating the album’s emotionally charged jungle production into a larger, more conceptual live format.
The tour begins in Japan in September before moving through North America, the UK and Europe during November and December. It concludes with shows in Melbourne and Sydney in January 2027.
Its biggest UK date arrives at London’s Alexandra Palace on 26 November, with Cannelle, NEW YORK and Trickpony completing the bill. The wider run includes Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom, Nottingham’s Rock City, Bristol’s Prospect Building and Manchester’s Aviva Studios.
The announcement follows Nia Archives’ West Stage headline performance at All Points East and her guest appearance during Jorja Smith’s closing set. Earlier sold-out shows in Leeds, London and New York provided a smaller-scale testing ground for the new live production, which was developed further across the summer festival circuit.
Released through Island Records on 17 July, Emotional Junglist reached number one on the Official Dance Albums Chart and secured a place on the 2026 Mercury Prize shortlist.
Written during 2025 with Ethan P. Flynn, Julia Michaels and James Ford, the record broadens Nia Archives’ alt-jungle framework through melodic songwriting, emotional tension and more collaborative production.
Sampha appears on Tender, while Jorja Smith features on Get Me Down. Tracks including Vertical, Danger, Boys In Blue and There Goes Ma Head demonstrate how she is pushing jungle beyond its traditional club infrastructure without removing the breakbeats and physical energy at its core.
The tour represents the next stage of that expansion. Larger venues and an immersive live concept allow Emotional Junglist to operate as more than an album campaign, turning its contrasting themes of vulnerability, heartbreak and release into a complete audiovisual experience.
