With a chosen mission to support and champion the vibrant and largely undiscovered music scene of their home province, Angine De Poitrine will feature a rotating lineup of Quebec artists as opening acts throughout the fall, including psychedelic rockers Population II, electronic singer-songwriter Annie-Claude Deschênes, high-energy noise rock trio zouz, and Montreal guitarist, composer, and improviser René Lussier.
The eagerly awaited US tour continues an epic 2026 international live schedule for Angine de Poitrine that also features sold-out headline dates, festival performances, and more across the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, and the United Kingdom. US festival appearances include King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s Field of Vision II in Buena Vista, CO (August 14), Seattle, WA’s The KEXP BBQ (August 22), Elizabethtown, NY’s Otis Mountain Get Down (September 11), Austin, TX’s Levitation (September 12), Chicago, IL’s Riot Fest (September 19), and Richmond, VA’s Iron Blossom Festival (September 20). The sold-out US headline tour continues a momentous 2026 for Angine de Poitrine, a landmark year that has also seen the acclaimed release of the duo’s second full-length album, Vol. II, available everywhere now. Following the highly anticipated U.S. physical releases of Vol. I and Vol. II in June, the band debuted at No. 1 on nine Billboard charts, including No. 3 on Top Album Sales, No. 2 on Vinyl Albums, and No. 2 on Indie Store Album Sales. Since their release, the albums have held the number 1 slot on the Indie Store Album chart for eight consecutive weeks. LISTEN TO VOL. I & VOL. II PURCHASE VOL. I & VOL. II ON CD OR VINYL Vol. II stretches the boundaries of Angine de Poitrine’s brisk, high-voltage approach with even bolder, more dynamic structures. Once again, three essential forces fuel the duo’s inspiration: acid techno, disco, and rock. Vol. II includes such fan favorites as “Fabienk,” which, true to Les Frères de Poitrine’s style, revolves around a single microtonal guitar loop that repeats, doubles, and evolves through a groove that is both insistent and liberating. # # # ANGINE DE POITRINE - TOUR 2026 AUGUST 12 – Denver, CO – Ogden Theatre (SOLD OUT) # 13 – Denver, CO – Ogden Theatre (SOLD OUT) # 14 – Buena Vista, CO – King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard present Field of Vision II † 17 – Los Angeles, CA – Teragram Ballroom (SOLD OUT) *** 18 – Los Angeles, CA – Teragram Ballroom (SOLD OUT) # 19 – San Francisco, CA – The Independent (SOLD OUT) # 21 – Portland, OR – Aladdin Theater (SOLD OUT) # 22 – Seattle, WA – The KEXP BBQ (SOLD OUT) † 23 – Vancouver, BC – The Pearl (SOLD OUT) ## 24 – Vancouver, BC – The Pearl (SOLD OUT) ## 25 – Vancouver, BC – Commodore Ballroom (SOLD OUT) ## 28 – Lisbon, PT – Meo Kalorama † 30 – Vlieland, NL – Into The Great Wide Open † 31 – Nijmegen, NL – Doornroosje (SOLD OUT) SEPTEMBER 1 – Cologne, DE – Live Music Hall (SOLD OUT) 4 – Dorset, UK – End of the Road † 5 – Manchester, UK – Manchester Psych Fest † 6 – Edinburgh, UK – Edinburgh Psych Fest † 9 – New York, NY – Le Poisson Rouge (SOLD OUT) * 10 – New York, NY – Le Poisson Rouge (SOLD OUT) * 11 – Elizabethtown, NY – Otis Mountain Get Down † 12 – Austin, TX – Levitation † (SOLD OUT) 15 – Washington, DC – The Atlantis (SOLD OUT) * 16 – Philadelphia, PA – Underground Arts (SOLD OUT) * 17 – Washington, DC – Lincoln Theatre (SOLD OUT) * 19 – Chicago, IL – Riot Fest † 20 – Richmond, VA – Iron Blossom Festival † OCTOBER 13 – Bristol, UK – The Prospect Building (SOLD OUT) 14 – Glasgow, UK – O2 Academy Glasgow (SOLD OUT) 16 – Dublin, IRE – Vicar Street (SOLD OUT) 18 – Leeds, UK – O2 Academy Leeds (SOLD OUT) 19 – London, UK – Troxy (SOLD OUT) 20 – London, UK – Troxy (SOLD OUT) 21 – Paris, FR – Élysée Montmartre (SOLD OUT) 22 – Paris, FR – Élysée Montmartre (SOLD OUT) 24 – Lyon, FR – L'Épicerie Moderne (SOLD OUT) 25 – Antwerp, BE – Trix (SOLD OUT) 27 – Berlin, DE – Astra (SOLD OUT) 28 – Hamburg, DE – Molotow (SOLD OUT) 29 – Heidelberg, DE – Metropolink (SOLD OUT) 31 – Amsterdam, NL – London Calling (SOLD OUT) † NOVEMBER 1 – Groningen, NL – VERA (SOLD OUT) 5 – Toronto, ON – History (SOLD OUT) 6 – Quebec City, QC – Impérial Bell (SOLD OUT) 14 – Montreal, QC – Club Soda (SOLD OUT) 16 – Brooklyn, NY – Brooklyn Steel (SOLD OUT) ** 17 – Brooklyn, NY – Brooklyn Steel (SOLD OUT) ** 18 – Brooklyn, NY – Brooklyn Steel (SOLD OUT) 19 – Boston, MA – Roadrunner (SOLD OUT) ** 20 – Philadelphia, PA – Franklin Music Hall (SOLD OUT) ** 22 – Mexico City, MX – Corona Capital CDMX † 25 – Atlanta, GA – The Eastern (SOLD OUT) ^ 27 – Nashville, TN – Brooklyn Bowl (SOLD OUT) ^ 29 – Chicago, IL – The Salt Shed (SOLD OUT) ** 30 – Chicago, IL – The Salt Shed (SOLD OUT) ** DECEMBER 1 – Minneapolis, MN – First Avenue (SOLD OUT) ** 2 – Minneapolis, MN – First Avenue (SOLD OUT) ** 4 – Los Angeles, CA – The Wiltern (SOLD OUT) ** 5 – Los Angeles, CA – The Wiltern (SOLD OUT) ** 7 – San Francisco, CA – The Castro Theatre (SOLD OUT) ** 8 – Oakland, CA – Fox Theater (SOLD OUT) 10 – Portland, OR – McMenamins Crystal Ballroom (SOLD OUT) ** 11 – Portland, OR – McMenamins Crystal Ballroom (SOLD OUT) ** 12 – Seattle, WA – Showbox SoDo (SOLD OUT) ** 13 – Seattle, WA – Paramount Theatre ēSOLD OUT) ** * w/Annie-Claude Deschênes ** w/zouz *** w/JJUUJJUU # w/Population II ## w/René Lussier ^ w/Dolphin Hyperspace † Festival Appearance # # # PRAISE FOR ANGINE DE POITRINE “While the costumes and anonymity have clearly helped draw attention, Angine de Poitrine’s music is no gimmick; it’s a feat of live unity and dexterity, hand-played with zero margin for error...It’s music of precision, agility and stamina, adding up to a contagious manic energy.” – NEW YORK TIMES “There’s no denying the melodies and chops behind Angine de Poitrine’s dotted duds. At their best, they’re a beacon that North America is once again ready for art-fucky noise rock bands.” – PITCHFORK “Wonderfully, their music is every bit as outre as their clothing: a weirdly hypnotic, berserk hybrid of math rock, prog rock, punk, jerkily repetitive rhythms, microtonal loops and twiddly guitar bits, with song titles such as ‘Sarniezz' and 'Utzp.’ At times, they erupt into a kind of extraterrestrial hard rock…Although one must admire the fearsome musicianship that produces a sound this intensely tight – never mind while wearing those outfits – the key to their success is that in dark times they are simply ridiculously good fun. – THE GUARDIAN (*****) “Much has been made of the unusualness of their music – the odd time signatures, polyrhythms and microtones (the notes between the notes) – but seeing them live, you can tell why this music is so crowd-pleasing. Their instrumental grooves have a weight to them you can see in their viral online performances, but you can feel live in the room. The heavy riffs and build-ups create a visceral tension and release that adds drama that doesn't need vocals…Even though there are only two members, it often felt like a locked-in jam session, something akin to the desert rock groove of vintage Queens of the Stone Age. Other times it felt more like prog, psych or metal.” – BILLBOARD “Angine de Poitrine have forever made the guitar world a weirder place. They’re the 333-year-old time-traveling aliens we never knew we needed…With this tour, Khn de Poitrine has established himself as the greatest polka-dot guitar hero since Randy Rhoads and Buddy Guy. The guy has legit jazz chops, and his fluid microchromatic runs, tapping bursts and head-spinning riffs turn guitar tropes on their heads.” – GUITAR WORLD “The excitement that runs through the room is tremendous…Whatever this is, the people are here for it, and for the hour that follows, the ballroom floor becomes a void of sweaty bodies worshipping their new long-snouted prophets… At the climactic conclusion of their London debut, Angine de Poitrine exit the stage having successfully expanded their cult, delivering a brilliantly absurd and totally unforgettable experience.” – CLASH “Watching them live, you enter a peculiar kind of flow state. You find your fingers forming a triangle, raising it high above your head, not even sure what it means… It's as close as I've ever felt to being initiated into a cult, a room full of people worshipping at the altar of polka dots…When it comes down to it, it's all a matter of belief; a surrendering to the way these hypnotic rhythms permeate your body on a cellular level. Angine de Poitrine are inviting you to let go of thought, of time, of space. If you're seeing spots, you're in the right state of mind.” – EXCLAIM! # # # ABOUT ANGINE DE POITRINE: Hailed by The Guardian for their “hypnotic riffs and grooves, whose proggy time shifts are all in astonishing lockstep, making this as much party music as it is prog,” the Mantra-Rock Dada Pythagorean-Cubist Orchestra known as Angine de Poitrine gaze in wonder at hot dogs, pyramids, and rock music in all its glorious excess. In just two years, time-traveling space-voyagers Khn de Poitrine (microtonal guitars, vocals) and Klek de Poitrine (percussion, vocals) have surpassed the earthly rock stars they once emulated, earning critical acclaim, millions of streams, and countless new fans worldwide. Structured around a dynamic interplay of adding and removing sound patterns in a constant state of metamorphosis, Angine de Poitrine’s repertoire makes hearts race and bodies move with ecstatic abandon. Through tight, pulsing drum grooves and intricate tangles of double-necked microtonal guitar, the noble brothers summon swirling vortices of hypnotic sound and vision. Having spent much of the past two years in the eye of an ever-growing storm of enthusiasm from audiences and critics thanks to their asymmetrical, dissonant music and electrifying performances – including a stunning Live on KEXP session that has quickly amassed over 18M views and counting – Angine de Poitrine unveiled Vol. II in April 2026 to worldwide applause from such prestigious publications as the New York Times, Pitchfork, The Guardian, Paste, and more. The duo marked the album’s arrival with virtually non-stop touring around the globe, selling out venues worldwide within minutes, often months in advance. Highlights thus far include a one-night-only show supporting Jack White at Toronto, ON’s RBC Amphitheatre and a free headline show during the Montreal International Jazz Festival, which drew record turnout in excess of 80,000 fans. * Angine de Poitrine is an anonymous artistic project.
