After making his long-awaited comeback last year following a five-year hiatus, Pretty Lights will take his Soundship Spacesystem Tour into 2024 with the newly announced Check Your Vector Tour. The summer and fall run of multi-night stands and festival sets features 24 concerts in 11 cities, including three festival appearances.
The Check Your Vector tour will kick off with a previously announced two-night run at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA (5/31–6/1). Following headlining performances at Bonnaroo (including a sunrise set) and Electric Forest, the electro-soul DJ and his live backing band will then return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre for two nights on August 2nd and 3rd. Pretty Lights has not visited the iconic outdoor amphitheater since a 2018 run of 10th-anniversary shows which also marked PL’s final concerts before going on hiatus.
Headlining dates continue with runs at Bethel Woods Center For The Arts in Bethel, NY (8/23–8/24) and Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena At Harvey’s in Stateline, NV (9/6–9/7) ahead of performances at both weekends of Austin City Limits in October. Details of a two-night Pretty Lights run on October 25th and 26th will be announced at a later date. Finally, the Check Your Vector Tour will wind down with a stretch of three-night runs in Minneapolis, MN (11/8–11/10), St. Augustine, FL (11/22–11/24), and finally Boston (12/5–12/7).

DJ/producer Derek Vincent Smith reactivated his Pretty Lights project last year to widespread acclaim. The highly influential electronic artist broke a five-year silence to announce the Soundship Spacesystem Tour, featuring multi-night runs and headlining sets across the country including a pair of performances at Suwannee Hulaween. For the tour, Pretty Lights performed with a live band featuring Chris Karns (turntables), Alvin Ford Jr. (drums), Borahm Lee (keyboards), and Michal Menert (production) in a refined performance style heavy on improvisation along with PL’s trademark emphasis on samples.
