This May and June, Dutch producer and melodic dance innovator Helsloot will make his North American debut as a headlining solo act, bringing an 11-date tour across the United States and Canada. The run marks a major milestone for the artist born Thomas Helsloot, whose breakout collaboration “Because You Move Me” alongside Tinlicker has quietly become one of melodic dance music’s defining records of the decade.
The track has amassed more than 600 million streams on Spotify alone and over one billion streams across all platforms, while earning Platinum certifications in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, alongside Gold certifications in Canada, France, and the Netherlands.
After spending years shaping records behind the scenes, Helsloot has spent the last two years refining a distinctly personal sound rooted in melodic techno and disco while pulling inspiration from his deep appreciation for hip-hop rhythms and songwriting. That evolving sonic identity has earned support from influential labels including Get Physical, Anjunadeep, This Never Happened, and Ritter Butzke.
The North American tour follows the release of his recent 14-track artist mix album Body Language Vol. 27 for Get Physical’s long-running compilation series, as well as an ongoing string of collaborations that most recently included “I Was There” with Beacon, later reworked by legendary duo Booka Shade in April 2026.
Alongside fan favorites, Helsloot will also debut brand-new music throughout the tour. A forthcoming single scheduled for release in June 2026 will receive its first live plays during select North American stops, giving audiences an exclusive preview of the next phase of his sound.
“I’ve always felt the love from across the ocean,” says Helsloot. “Now I’m getting to play all my songs for the first time in all these incredible places in North America. I’m looking forward to meeting and dancing together with all these lovely people. I’m also bringing lots of new music, which makes this tour even more special.”
The tour arrives during what is shaping up to be a landmark year for the Dutch artist. Earlier this year, Helsloot joined Tinlicker on a European support run, while later in 2026 he is set to make first-ever appearances at both Awakenings and Tomorrowland, alongside his Australian debut.
Known for blending emotional songwriting with forward-thinking club production, Helsloot further expanded his artistic identity with the release of his 2024 debut album Never Tried, featuring standout tracks including “Take Care” and “Let’s Pretend.” He later followed the project with Body Language Vol. 27, where he contributed his own interpretation of Get Physical’s iconic Body Language series, including a notable rework of the classic title track.
With a rapidly growing global audience and his biggest touring year to date now underway, Helsloot continues to establish himself as one of the most compelling rising names in melodic electronic music.
