Somewhere in the Sky Tour was the seventh concert tour by American pop band AJR. The tour began on July 18, 2025, in Sparks, Nevada, and ended on October 4, 2025, in Los Angeles, California. The tour features 16 shows across the United States and Canada.
Background The tour was announced in March 2025 via AJR's social media platforms and their official website. According to the band, the tour will showcase a blend of theatrical storytelling, interactive lighting effects, and new arrangements of their chart-topping songs.
AJR revealed a rotating lineup of opening acts throughout the tour, with several artists joining on select dates. The support acts include indie-pop performers Cavetown, Valley, and Elio Mei, with additional openers include Quinn XCII, Lawrence, Beach Weather, Goth Babe, Chelsea Cutler, Ben Steer, and Ryley Tate Wilson.
AJR also added two additional shows to the tour schedule: July 18, 2025, in Sparks, Nevada, and August 12, 2025, in Toronto, Ontario, both of which expanded the North American leg.
On June 3, 2025, AJR announced that they would be heading to China for the first time to perform at the MTA Festival in Hebei, marking their debut show in the country.
