Today, Moby shares his 23rd studio album Future Quiet out everywhere now via BMG and announces his most ambitious live run in more than a decade: a monumental 28-date European tour for summer 2026 that includes sold-out landmark UK and Ireland shows at On The Beach, Brighton (July 26), London’s Old Royal Naval College (August 15) and Irish Museum of Modern Art Kilmainham, Dublin (August 21)–all selling out within 24 hours and already shaping up to be defining open-air moments of the summer.
The tour follows his return to the stage at Coachella on April 10th and April 17th, before sweeping across Europe from late June through August. Spanning the length and breadth of the continent–from Denmark to Greece, Spain to Georgia, and Ireland to Bulgaria–the 28-date run combines major festivals, historic venues and striking open-air settings. With demand now at a career high, summer 2026 signals Moby’s long-awaited return to large-scale European stages, bringing Future Quiet to life alongside a catalogue that has defined and reshaped electronic music for over three decades.
It comes after seven sold-out European shows in 2024, which received rave reviews from The Telegraph (“a stupendous show”), The Times (“from raver to raconteur in three decades”) and The Guardian (“head-rush thrills”). Reflecting his long-standing commitment to compassion and activism, 100% of the profits from the 2024 tour were donated to European animal rights organisations, reinforcing an ethos that places purpose before profit.
From major festival stages to historic open-air settings including Pula Arena in Croatia, Donji grad, Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade and On The Beach in Brighton, the tour places Moby’s music in some of Europe’s most distinctive iconic open-air stages.
Future Quiet signals a striking new chapter for one of electronic music’s most enduring and visionary artists. Across fourteen tracks of piano minimalism, immersive ambient soundscapes and select vocal collaborations, the album reflects on the tension between hyper-connected modern life and the human need for stillness.
Elaborating, Moby says: “‘Future Quiet’ is, not surprisingly, quiet. To be clear; I love bombast. I love excess and volume. But as the world gets louder and crazier I find myself needing the refuge of quiet. Writing and recording it was a refuge for me, and I hope that listening to it is a refuge for you.”
The album opens with a stunning new orchestral reworking of “When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die”, featuring Jacob Lusk, best known for his work with the acclaimed Gabriels. Originally released in 1995 on Everything Is Wrong, the track has found a powerful new global audience through its use in the Netflix phenomenon Stranger Things, becoming Moby’s most streamed song, going viral on TikTok, and introducing his music to an entirely new generation of fans. For many, this tour will mark their first opportunity to experience Moby live, making the song not only a cultural rediscovery but a bridge between generations. It is set to become one of the emotional centerpieces of the 2026 live shows.

Speaking of its success, Moby says, “It’s reaching hundreds of millions of people annually, which is both wonderful and surprising, especially as it was an obscure song with no drums or bass and was never released as a single.”

Over more than thirty years, Moby has cemented his status as one of the most influential figures in electronic music. A multi-platinum-selling, multi-award-winning artist, he has sold over 20 million albums worldwide since releasing his debut single “Go” in 1991, listed by Rolling Stone as one of the greatest records of all time. His pioneering approach reshaped electronic music and continues to influence generations of producers, composers and artists worldwide.
He has produced and remixed artists as varied and disparate as David Bowie, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beastie Boys and Daft Punk.
A longtime advocate for animal rights, environmental issues and mental health awareness, Moby consistently uses his platform to champion compassion and sustainability, often donating proceeds and visibility to causes rather than commercial ventures. This ethos is inseparable from his music and has shaped his reputation as an artist whose work is rooted in integrity and purpose.
Beyond music, Moby’s creative reach extends into film and storytelling. In 2024, he founded Little Walnut, an artist-first production company rooted in activism and guided by story, supporting bold fiction and documentary projects. Through Little Walnut, Moby served as executive producer on The Incomer, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and won the NEXT Innovator Award, further underscoring his creative influence beyond the recording studio.
His books, essays, photography and collaborations across film, dance and visual art reveal a depth and introspection rare among global artists. His openness around recovery and reinvention has made him both relatable and enduring, reinforcing his place as one of contemporary music’s most singular voices.
With Coachella in April, followed by a sweeping 28-date European tour from June to August, Moby’s 2026 live plans represent one of the most significant touring moments of his career. This is not simply a return to the stage, but a defining new phase–one that connects past, present and a new generation of listeners across Europe.
