Oneohtrix Point Never has announced his first Again live shows, kicking off in Spring 2024 and spanning US, Europe and Asia. Tickets will go on sale on Thursday, September 28th 10am local time. This will be OPN a/k/a Daniel Lopatin’s first album tour since 2018/19. The 2024 shows follow on from the highly acclaimed and fully sold-out live multimedia tour, MYRIAD based on songs from Age Of. The series, which through the medium of astounding imagery, sculpture and support from three handpicked musicians included three performances at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and both the Barbican and Roundhouse in London. The handful of Oneohtrix Point Never Rebuilds performances in US, Europe and Australia in 2023 was vastly different. His lean solo set presented a mesmerizing experience by repurposing seminal tracks from his catalog with live visuals delivered through a bespoke, real-time animation system making each a unique event.
The eagerly anticipated live interpretation of Again promises to turn the concept of an OPN performance on its head once more with the acclaimed multi-disciplinary artist, Freeka Tet on board as a creative director for the show. Their work together was recently showcased in OPN’s latest music video, ‘A Barely Lit Path’. The first calling card from Again, this film was directed by Tet and developed from a treatment by Lopatin and himself. It casts viewers into a dream-state to witness a surprisingly emotional and disastrous turn of events for a pair of anthropomorphized CPR dolls, employees of EMC. The Again live show will start at the EX Theatre in Tokyo and play Osaka and Seoul before heading over to Europe, starting in Berlin, then the UK to play Manchester’s brutalist New Century Hall, London’s Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre and Paris’ acclaimed La Cent Quatre before returning to the US. The New York performance, his first home appearance in over five years, will be at the newly refurbished, iconic Paramount Theatre in Brooklyn. For those who would like to catch Oneohtrix Point Never sooner, he will also be headlining the Levitation festival in Austin, Texas on October 26th this year.
For fans purchasing the album ahead of release by Tuesday 26th in the UK and US, there will be an opportunity to secure pre-sale tickets to the New York, London and Manchester concerts via the Oneohtrix Point Never store, Bleep and Rough Trade.

Oneohtrix Point Never's new album Again, set for release September 29 follows in the wake of numerous critically acclaimed albums including Replica, R Plus Seven, Garden Of Delete, Age Of and his most recent, 2020’s eponymous Magic Oneohtrix Point Never. Since then Lopatin has been in demand in every area of musical culture, serving as musical director for The Weeknd’s 2021 Super Bowl Half-Time performance, composing and performing the music for Chanel’s 2021 Métiers d'art show, and serving as executive producer on The Weeknd’s worldwide #1 charted album, Dawn FM. He’s also worked with James Blake, Ishmael Butler, Charli XCX, Kelsey Lu, Iggy Pop and Rosalia, and his production credits include Anohni, FKA Twigs, David Byrne, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Moses Sumney, and Nine Inch Nails among many more.
Praise for Myriad:
“The music didn’t have to explain itself. It billowed and throbbed, tinkled and crashed, swooped and pealed around the grand space. No narrative, no matter how cosmic, could match the sound.” – The New York Times, on MYRIAD
“Journey to a jaw-dropping sonic dystopia. Backed by a talented band, electronic visionary Daniel Lopatin creates a surrealist vision of machine vying with man” - The Guardian (5-stars)
“the classical sounds of civilizations past with synth music of the future, all powerfully delivered in the now.” - Resident Advisor
