DIIV release new single "Dare Me" and reveal plans for 2027 world tour
DIIV have released "Dare Me", the final preview of their upcoming A.G. Cook-produced album, ZIRP!, and announced a full world tour for next year.
"Dare Me" follows previous singles "The Fountain", "Kid" and "Trillions", offering a fourth taster of the band's sound coined as "The New Alternative". The track is accompanied by a music video directed by Louie Kovatch, and was first premiered last night on BBC 1.
The band have also announced a world tour in support of the album. Across forty-seven dates, DIIV will bring their live show to festivals in Australia and Japan in February, with a full run across North America in April and May, as well as Europe and the United Kingdom throughout June. This will include shows in Brighton (24 June), Manchester (25 June), Glasgow (26 June), Dublin (27 June), and Bristol (29 June), before concluding in London on 30 June.
