Charlotte De Witte Releases “The Realm” From Long-Awaited Debut Album Out 11.7 + Announces 6 New York Shows

Today, Charlotte de Witte releases the first track, “The Realm,” from her desperately awaited eponymous debut album, which comes out on November 7th, on her own imprint KNTXT. Besides the new music, she will be coming to New York from May 21st to May 24th. After fifteen years of performances, techno charts and innovative success and a stunning amount of 25 acclaimed EPs, fans of the Belgian artist / producer can finally enjoy the first taste of the LP with the release of the opening track & acid-drenched, unstoppable lead single “The Realm”, already a staple in her sets, often as a high-impact opener.
“The Realm” is beautifully muscled and put together, skilfully controlled, swift and powerful like a thoroughbred racehorse. The tightly woven techno beats and acid-spiked synth you can feel in your teeth usher in anthemic spoken lyrics packed with promise – “enter the realm of the unknown”.
Charlotte about “The Realm” and her upcoming debut: “The Realm” is a really special track for me. It marks the beginning of a whole new chapter. It’s the first single from my debut album, and it carries the energy and philosophy that inspired the entire record.
The lyrics capture the essence of what I believe music can do. Techno, and by extension clubbing, has always been about more than just dancing for me. It’s about connection, transcendence and exploration. It’s a way of accessing something unseen, something powerful. There’s a tension and release in the structure that mirrors the feeling of letting go, of stepping into something bigger than yourself.”
“After 15 years of DJing, traveling, and living life through music, releasing my debut album feels surreal. This album is the most personal project I’ve ever worked on. It’s not just a collection of tracks; it’s a reflection of who I am, where I come from, and what continues to drive me: the dancefloor.
Across eleven tracks, this album tells the story of my journey in music so far. Every sound, every transition, is intentional. I followed what felt right, what moved me. And that honesty is what makes this album so special to me. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s emotional. It’s who I am.
“The Realm” as an opening track of the album is an invitation. A doorway into the unknown, into this world I’ve been building through sound. I’m so excited to finally share this first glimpse of the album, and I can’t wait for people to step into this next phase with me.”
The LP announcement and new single release follow a strong start to the year after hosting events at Belgium’s Flanders Expo, selling over 70.000 tickets across 3 nights – and her spontaneous hometown street party, attended by many thousands. A career of remarkable wins for the techno powerhouse that is Charlotte de Witte.
Through the energy of sound,
We connect with the infinite.
In the silence between the notes,
Enter the realm of the unknown.

Calvin Harris Returns To North America For First Headline Tour
Today, global superstar DJ and producer Calvin Harris announces his first headline tour across North America bringing his era-defining catalogue and landmark live show to arenas across the US and Canada in spring 2027.
Promoted by Live Nation, the 18-date tour kicks off Thursday, April 1 at TD Garden in Boston, with stops across Baltimore, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Montreal, Houston, Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, San Diego and more, before concluding Thursday, May 27 at Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Tickets will be available starting with Reserved by Spotify on Monday, October 19th at 10AM local time, followed by an artist presale beginning Tuesday, October 20th at 12PM local time. Fans can register for artist presale access now at CalvinHarris.com.
The general on sale begins Thursday, October 22nd at 12PM local time at CalvinHarris.com.
Calvin Harris’ Reserved by Spotify tickets may be available to eligible US Spotify Premium subscribers through Ticketmaster. These fans will be notified by Spotify via email and app notification, and will have the opportunity to purchase up to two tickets during the Reserved presale.
The North American run follows an extraordinary year of live milestones for Harris. This summer, he performed to more than 100,000 fans across his two sold-out hometown shows at Glasgow’s Hampden Park, followed by three sold-out headline shows across Ireland, bringing his UK and Ireland total to more than 210,000 tickets. His recently announced Australian headline tour subsequently sold more than 330,000 tickets across 11 dates, making it the biggest headline tour by an electronic artist in the market.
Earlier this year, Harris also earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title following his February performance in São Paulo, Brazil, which drew an estimated 1.6 million people, setting the record for the largest attendance at a DJ set by a single artist.
The North American announcement follows Harris’ acclaimed performance at Head Trip Festival in Indio, California, with upcoming performances in Las Vegas and festival appearances in Mexico and Chile. He will also headline a sold-out show at Coliseo MedPlus in Bogotá, Colombia on Friday, November 13.
One of the defining artists in global dance music, Harris has spent more than a decade creating records that have become part of the fabric of contemporary pop and electronic music. With more than 56 billion global streams, two UK No. 1 albums, 11 UK No. 1 singles and 31 UK Top 10 singles, his catalogue has consistently crossed the boundaries between clubs, radio, festivals and stadiums.
His recent run of releases has continued that legacy, with “Blessings” featuring Clementine Douglas becoming one of the year’s biggest dance records, peaking at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and marking his 31st UK Top 10 single. He followed with “Ocean” featuring Jessie Reyez and “Release the Pressure” with Kasabian as well as “Satisfy” with Jazzy, continuing his instinct for unexpected collaborations and genre-spanning dance music.
Harris returns to stages across North America with a show that reflects his extraordinary evolution as a live artist, bringing together a catalogue of global anthems, cutting-edge production and the communal energy that has made him one of the world’s most successful electronic artists.

The All-American Rejects, The Wallflowers, David Gray, O.A.R., Matt Nathanson, and The Lucky will join the band as special guests on select dates. The tour is the centerpiece of a yearlong anniversary celebration that began last night with an intimate, one-night-only performance at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, where the band played songs from their landmark debut Yourself or Someone Like You, alongside other fan favorites. The celebration continues tomorrow when Matchbox Twenty perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Just ahead of the tour, Matchbox Twenty will perform at Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA on Sunday, April 25.

Released in 1996, Yourself or Someone Like You introduced Matchbox Twenty (Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook) to the world and launched a career that has now spanned three decades. Featuring smash hit singles “3AM,” “Push,” “Real World,” “Back 2 Good,” “Long Day” and more, the diamond-certified, 12x-platinum album became one of the defining rock records of the era and established the band as a fixture of pop culture.
In the 30 years since, Matchbox Twenty have built a catalog of hits including “Bent,” “If You’re Gone,” “Unwell,” “How Far We’ve Come,” “She’s So Mean” and more. The band have sold more than 40 million records worldwide, topped charts, garnered multiple GRAMMY® Award nominations, and played to millions of fans across arenas, amphitheaters and stadiums on multiple continents.
