The Rapture Shakes Up Indie Scene with Reunion Tour

Brooklyn dance-punk innovators announce international dates, first major tour since 2011.

Get ready to dance again! Seminal dance-punk band **The Rapture** is reuniting for an international tour this fall, marking their first extensive tour since 2011 and igniting excitement throughout the indie music community.

Long-Awaited Return

Led by **Luke Jenner**, **The Rapture** has been largely absent from live performances, their last show taking place in March 2020 at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, just before pandemic lockdowns halted live events. The band’s comeback is eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide.

Signature Sound

Rising to prominence in the early 2000s, **The Rapture** captured attention with their unique fusion of post-punk and dance music. Their breakthrough 2003 album, *Echoes*, featured the hit single “House of Jealous Lovers,” produced by **James Murphy** of LCD Soundsystem and **Tim Goldsworthy**, solidifying their place in indie music history.

Tour Dates and Ticket Information

The 2025 tour commences on September 16 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, covering North America through early October. November will see them head to Europe, with scheduled performances in London, Berlin, and Paris, among other cities. Pre-sale tickets will be available on Wednesday, July 9th at 10:00 a.m. local time (use code LIGHTS) via Ticketmaster, followed by general public sales on Friday, July 11th at 10:00 a.m. local time.
