Pretty Lights “The Illumination Tour” Ticket Sales Start Today

On sale today are tickets to Pretty Lights’ “The Illumination Tour,” which will feature a preview from their forthcoming album. With already two sold-out hometown shows in Morrison, CO, the tour has already been building up some buzz with such reviews as “[Derek Vincent] Smith’s a master at mixes, blending vintage funk, soul and rock sound with synthesized noise and hip-hop beat, and his elaborate show allows him and a lighting engineer to manipulate the lights to add to the mood and dynamic.”

“The Illumination Tour” will include a wide range of support acts including DJ Shadow, 12th Planet, araabMUZIK, Marty Party, Zion I, Big Gigantic, Lotus, and more plus PLM artists, Paul Basic and SuperVision.

“I’ve been hard at work on a new album or more than a year. I’ve completely switched up my process of producing and composing. It is being created from all originally composed samples off of self made vinyl and all analog modular synthesis,” says Smith, the innovative electronic music proucer behind Pretty Lights. “It’s prolific, conceptual, consistent, yet extremely diverse, and a real substantial piece of music you can sink your teeth into. The Illumination Tour will be the place to hear (and see) a lot of what this upcoming PL release has in store.”

Tickets are on sale now for the remaining shows @ PrettyLightsMusic.com, where you also download their music for free.
