The Bristol electronic artist Tricky has announced a North American tour supporting his first album in six years. The tour will include stops in Seattle, Montreal, and Detroit, among other cities, marking a significant return to live performance for the producer and vocalist known for his genre-bending work across trip-hop, industrial, and experimental hip-hop.

Tricky has maintained a presence in music since his influential 1998 debut "Maxinquaye," which helped define the darker aesthetic of 1990s British electronic music alongside Massive Attack and Portishead. His career has been defined by restless reinvention and willingness to work across mediums, from acting to visual art. The new album represents his first full-length studio release since 2018's "Fall to Pieces," a gap that reflects both his methodical approach to creation and his various pursuits outside music production.

The tour announcement comes as part of the promotional push for the album, with Pitchfork noting the expanded geographic reach of dates across major North American markets. This marks a return to the concert circuit for an artist whose live shows are known for their unpredictable energy and experimental arrangements of his catalog. Tricky's decision to tour after six years away from full-length releases suggests renewed focus on live engagement with audiences who have followed his work through decades of stylistic shifts and sonic exploration.

Details regarding ticket sales, additional dates, and the album's official release date were not provided in the announcement, though fans of Tricky's cerebral approach to electronic music and his signature vocal style can expect the tour to showcase material from the new record alongside selections from his extensive catalog spanning the 1990s through present day.
