The Trinidad and Tobago band is set to deliver its signature high-energy live show to major music capitals throughout North America, further building on the band’s rapidly growing global presence and its ongoing mission to showcase Caribbean culture on some of the world’s most iconic stages.
The announcement follows a landmark period for the band, which sold out its 2025 performances at SummerStage at Central Park in New York and delivered a historic headlining appearance in January 2026 at the Unity Jazz Festival hosted at Jazz at Lincoln Center. What initially began as a modest three-city European tour has quickly grown into a multi-continent run, reflecting the surging global appetite for soca music and the band’s electrifying live performances.
Lead vocalist Kees Dieffenthaller says the opportunity to perform in cities that have shaped global music history carries deep cultural significance. He noted that bringing the sound of Trinidad and Tobago — along with the spirit of Carnival and generations of Caribbean musical tradition — to those international stages represents an important moment for the genre. “Soca belongs on those stages,” Dieffenthaller said, adding that the tour is about connecting with audiences worldwide while proudly planting a Caribbean cultural flag.
Presented in partnership with William Morris Endeavor and Live Nation Entertainment, the tour reflects the full artistic evolution of the band. The “Roots, Rock, Soca” concept highlights calypso traditions and African rhythmic influences, embraces experimentation and global fusion, and ultimately celebrates soca as the vibrant heartbeat of Caribbean culture. With stops planned in cities from Seattle and Los Angeles to New York, Toronto, London and Amsterdam, the tour marks a defining international moment for the group and the continued global rise of the soca genre.
