Lenny Pearce is taking the baby rave coast to coast.Ad 0:00 Click for sound 0:00 / 0:00 The Australian DJ behind the viral “toddler techno” movement has announced a 42-date North American tour, his largest run yet, spanning the U.S.
and Canada from September through late November.The fall leg launches September 25th in Baltimore and arrives on the heels of Pearce’s debut at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre this past weekend.
Along the way, Pearce will play marquee rooms not typically reserved for the under-five demographic, including New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom, Los Angeles’ The Wiltern, the Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas and the Aon Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier in Chicago.If the name is new to you but the concept somehow isn’t, that tracks.
Pearce, a former member of Australian dance group Justice Crew and the identical twin of Wiggles member John Pearce, began remixing nursery rhymes for his daughter, including ‘Wheels on the Bus’ and ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes.’ After sharing them on TikTok, Pearce’s account rocketed to more than two million followers.The songs found a home on the storied EDM label Spinnin’ Records and he ultimately signed a Disney development deal to produce a full remix album, Lenny‘s Toddler Techno (Vol.1), ‘ which dropped in May.
Pearce’s discography highlights a genuinely underserved market for millennial parents who came up in rave culture and would rather not simply surrender their weekends to the Paw Patrol soundtrack.It’s proof the family-rave format has graduated from novelty to touring business.
Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday, June 19th, following Disney+ presales.Follow Lenny Pearce: Facebook: facebook.com/Lenjpearce/TikTok: tiktok.com/@lenjpearceInstagram: instagram.com/lenjpearceSpotify: bit.ly/3Q4FKAB...
