Following the release of his latest album, HEARTBEATS, on October 8, Nashville-based producer Effin is taking his newest creative chapter on the road with the announcement of the HEARTBEATS Tour. Launching January 15, 2027, in Salt Lake City, the run will span more than 35 markets across the United States, marking the producer’s first full-scale headline tour and his most ambitious live project to date.
Built around the nostalgic, emotionally driven world of HEARTBEATS, the tour will bring Effin’s distinctive blend of inventive sampling, intricate sound design, and electronic production to audiences nationwide. Alongside the music, fans can expect a visual experience shaped by the album’s vintage-inspired aesthetic, creating a live show that extends beyond the traditional concert format. Direct support comes from Nikita, the Wicked, with AYCH joining as support.
The tour begins January 15 at The Complex in Salt Lake City, followed by a major stop at Mission Ballroom in Denver on January 16. The Denver performance is set to become Effin’s largest headline show to date. From there, the tour will move through cities including Phoenix, Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Miami, and Dallas, bringing the HEARTBEATS experience to fans across the country.
The announcement arrives after a major year for Effin, who performed at festivals and events including Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, GRIZTRONICS at The Gorge, VELD, Elements, Lost Lands, Sacred Acre, and Seven Stars Festival throughout 2026. Those performances introduced his evolving sound to audiences across North America and helped build momentum for the new album and its accompanying tour.
Released October 8, HEARTBEATS is a 12-track exploration of love, memory, nostalgia, and human connection. The project builds on Effin’s previous albums, Cheap Thrills (2023) and Daydreams (2025), while taking a more focused conceptual approach. Its musical influences span forgotten recordings from the 1950s and 1960s, vintage film dialogue, Motown, jazz, hip-hop, and decades of musical history, all filtered through his modern electronic production style.
At the heart of the album is the idea of connection. Throughout his recent touring run, Effin has spoken about meeting fans, hearing their personal stories about his music, and seeing a growing sense of community develop around his performances. Those experiences helped shape the emotional foundation of HEARTBEATS, turning the record into a reflection of the relationships that form between artists, listeners, and the music they share.
“The Heartbeats Tour is the show I’ve always dreamed of putting together. A love filled evening, a theatrical experience not to be missed. Unforgettable moments, ups and downs, and a little something for everyone. See you soon ♥️” — Effin
The upcoming tour brings that sentiment full circle, taking a project inspired by real connections back to the audiences who helped influence it. By combining high-energy electronic music with theatrical presentation, distinctive sound design, and a nostalgic visual identity, Effin is building a live experience around the album’s emotional themes rather than simply recreating its tracks onstage.
The run also represents an important step in his development as a touring artist. After building momentum through festival appearances and select headline performances, Effin is moving into a nationwide tour shaped entirely around his own creative vision. The tour will conclude in the Southeast, where he has cultivated a dedicated community through his Sunset Soirée events and established a creative home outside the city’s traditional musical boundaries.
Tickets for the HEARTBEATS Tour will become available through several presale windows. Artist presale begins Wednesday, October 21, at 10 a.m. local time using the code SWEETHEART. Venue and local presales follow Thursday, October 22, before general ticket sales open Friday, October 23, at 10 a.m. local time.
With HEARTBEATS serving as the foundation for his first full-scale headline tour, Effin is preparing to bring his most personal work to stages across the country. The January 2027 launch marks the beginning of a new phase for the producer, connecting the album’s themes of nostalgia and human connection with the shared energy of the live dancefloor.
