Yeah Yeah Yeahs have announced details of a new tour for 2025, which will see them break out some deep cuts. Check out the details below.
Dubbed the ‘Hidden In Pieces Tour’, the new run of shows is announced today (March 14) and will see the band break out tracks from across their catalogue at a series of theatre shows.
The dates will take place across London and North America, and fans can expect to see the group reimagine their music in a “captivating new light”. This includes the incorporation of strings and piano, which aims to create a whole new sonic landscape for familiar favourites.
It also comes as Yeah Yeah Yeahs are celebrating 25 years since their formation, with the artists joining them as support for the occasion set to be confirmed at a later date.
Dates kick off with a show in Manchester and two back-to-back nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London in June. They continue into the following month with more shows planned for Mexico and America. The latter includes three nights in Los Angeles and two in San Francisco, as well as gigs in Nashville, Chicago and New York.
Tickets go on sale March 21 at 10am local time, and pre-sale options begin from March 19. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to Client Earth.

”Hi, we’ve missed you, they don’t miss you like we miss you,” the band said in a new statement. “Out of a deep desire to reconnect with our band family and you our lovely fans, YYYs are embarking on a series of very special shows this summer.
“The dearly departed David Lynch would say: ’All you need to do is turn on the light and the darkness goes’. To let our love light shine we will be digging deep into our back catalogue. We’ll be playing songs that are rarely (if ever) performed, alongside all-time favourites with new arrangements to delight…and yes there will be acoustic guitars and strings too,” they added.
“We’d love for you to join us for these intimate performances in beautiful iconic theatres to celebrate 25 years of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, not a bad seat in the house!”
Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ most recent show took place at Toronto’s HISTORY venue on November 11, 2023. That same year, they performed alongside fellow NYC indie rock icons The Strokes at All Points East in London.
The new announcement comes after the group began dropping hints on social media this month.
As well as playing their last shows in 2023, Yeah Yeah Yeahs also commemorated the 20th anniversary of their debut album ‘Fever To Tell’ with the release of a half-hour documentary. There Is No Modern Romance was shot on the band’s 2002 tour by their frequent collaborator Patrick Daughters.
Their latest full-length release was 2022’s ‘Cool It Down‘. In a four-star review of the LP, NME shared: “‘Cool It Down’ is a creative testament to how refreshing it can be for bands to look forward instead of backwards, and as O said while describing the album’s opening track, ‘it’s galvanizing, and there’s hope there’.”
