Little Big Announce 17-Date ‘The Original Skibidi Tour’ Trough North America
Today, LA-based punk-pop-rave renegades Little Big announce their 17-date The Original Skibidi Tour, which will go on sale on Friday, August 1 @ 10 am local time via https://littlebig.band/tour. Their North American The Original Skibidi Tour will start in New York on 10.22 and bring them to Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, through Canada’s Montreal, Toronto, back over the border to Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, to Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and the final stretch takes them from Seattle, Portland to San Francisco, Los Angeles on 11.13 and will end on 11.14 in San Diego.
Originally from Saint Petersburg, they unleashed their latest anti-hero:“COCO COPTER,” last week, crashing onto the scene with a wild, no-holds-barred music video in their signature absurdist style. Frontman Ilya Prusikin explains: “Little Big – The Original Kings of Italian Brainrot are back with their latest wild creation! If you thought Bombardino Crocodilo was over the top, and Ballerina Cappuccina felt too tame for your hardcore disco cravings, buckle up. Coco Copter spins through chaos, dodges Skibidi Toilet, and drops bangers like it’s second nature. It’s loud. It’s absurd. And yeah… It’s definitely going to get stuck in your head for way too long. You’ve been warned.”
Little Big was originally formed in 2013 by frontman Ilya “Ilich” Prusikin and is now driven by the explosive duo of Prusikin and vocalist Sonya Tayurskaya. Known for their absurdist visuals, satirical edge, and viral hits, the Saint Petersburg-born group has built a devoted global following, collaborating with artists like Oliver Tree, Tommy Cash, Finch Asozial, Dillon Francis, Clean Bandit, and even Sacha Baron Cohen.
They are the true originators of the word “Skibidi”, unleashing the surreal, high-octane anthem in 2018, long before 2023’s “Skibidi Toilet” phenomenon. Their “Skibidi” video has garnered over 776 million views, making it their biggest hit, while their catalog has surpassed 3 billion total views. Their 2020 single “UNO” also made history as the most-viewed video in Eurovision history, with over 296 million views.
In March 2022, following their outspoken opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the band relocated from Moscow to Los Angeles, turning their art and platform into a powerful form of protest.

Beck Announces Ride Lonesome Single & Tour
Yesterday, eight-time GRAMMY winner Beck unveiled the stunning new surprise single, “Ride Lonesome.”
Today, Beck follows that hypnotically sublime ballad with the announcement of the Ride Lonesome Tour, a 25-date trek stopping at some of North America’s most renowned theaters and amphitheaters.
The Ride Lonesome Tour, promoted by Live Nation, will kick off September 16 at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre, with stops including the Santa Barbara Bowl, the Greek in L.A., Red Rocks, two nights each at The Masonic in SF, Massey Hall in Toronto and the Brooklyn Paramount, and more, before concluding October 31 at The Truth in Nashville.
Tickets for Beck’s Ride Lonesome Tour go on sale Friday, April 24 at 10am local time. For further information, go to Beck.com.
Produced by Beck and Mixed by Nigel Godrich, the song “Ride Lonesome” evokes the beautiful and haunting sonic landscapes and textures of 2015 Album of the Year GRAMMY winner Morning Phase and its spiritual predecessor, 2002’s classic Sea Change—and features multiple musicians who played on those milestone releases. From the resonant acoustic guitar strains of its opening to the emotional peaks of its final chorus, this long-awaited new original composition is the first indication of a different yet familiar direction for Beck in the year ahead.
Citi is the official card of the Beck: Ride Lonesome Tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, April 21 at 11am local time until Thursday, April 23 at 10pm local time through the Citi Entertainment program.
