Bigger Than All of Us: Above & Beyond’s Euphoric Tour Heads to UK + Europe

The announcement of a tour is, in the churn of the music industry, rarely newsworthy on its own. But when Above & Beyond unveiled the dates for their Bigger Than All of Us European tour this fall, it felt less like a calendar update and more like a quiet cultural event; the kind that reverberates beyond venues and ticket queues.

The trio, Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki, have spent over two decades threading together a community of listeners, known affectionately as the AnjunaFamily, who treat trance not as escapism but as ritual. In July, they released Bigger Than All of Us, a record steeped with the expansive warmth and melancholy that have long been their signatures. This autumn, they are taking that sound across the continent, staging it not in festival fields but in cavernous indoor spaces, including Amsterdam’s AFAS Live, London’s O2 Academy, Copenhagen’s Vega, and Paris’s Phantom – all rooms that can hold thousands while still insisting on intimacy.

It is not difficult to imagine what the nights will feel like: the low hum before the first synth rises, the sudden communion when strangers sing the same lyric, the brief sense that, for once, the fractured world outside has been suspended. Above & Beyond have always trafficked in these moments, drawing their listeners into what can feel like a collective act of remembering: remembering joy, grief, and the possibility that connection might outlast the song itself.

The tour begins in late October, with dates stretching into early December, a season when Europe tends to darken early. For fans, there is something fitting about gathering in that twilight: light shows scattering across ceilings, choruses breaking the cold. Tickets, predictably, are in high demand, with presales opening September 16. The urgency to buy isn’t simply about securing a seat; it’s about ensuring entry into a space where music functions as both balm and catalyst.

If the title of the tour reads like a manifesto, it is also a reminder. Bigger Than All of Us is not merely a declaration of sonic ambition; it gestures toward the collective experience that the group has cultivated since their early days. At their best, Above & Beyond shows are less of a performance than an assembly. The music is the scaffolding, but the architecture is built from bodies, voices, and the ineffable sense that something fragile and rare is being sustained, even if only for a few hours.

In a season crowded with spectacle tours and maximalist productions, Above & Beyond’s offering is quieter in its radicalism. It does not rely on pyrotechnics or pop-star bravado. It relies, instead, on the simple, enduring gamble that a roomful of people will still choose to show up, for each other, for the music, for the reminder that we are, in fact, not alone.

“This album is us appreciating how amazing this thing we have is. The realisation of how lucky we are that we get to be part of something like this for 25 years, and to have built a community that cares for each other in the way it does. It’s not about any of us individually. When we all work together to make something happen, something bigger happens.”

– Jono, Paavo & Tony
