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.

Tyla Announces 34-Date Global Tour in Support of New Album APOP*
Fresh off the release of her new album APOP*, South African singer-songwriter Tyla has announced a 34-date global tour that will take her across Europe, North America, and Africa.
The tour kicks off in Paris, France, in October before moving through the UK and Europe. Tyla will then begin the North American leg in San Francisco on November 13, followed by a stop at Vancouver’s Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre on November 15.
The singer will return to Canada later in the run for a November 26 performance at Toronto’s Coca-Cola Coliseum. From there, she’ll continue through the United States before heading back to Africa for shows in Lagos, Cape Town, and her hometown of Johannesburg, where the tour will wrap up.

The upcoming tour follows the July 24 release of APOP*, Tyla‘s latest full-length project and the follow-up to her self-titled debut.
