Barely Alive Kick Off 2026 With Massive Overdrive Tour
Barely Alive are gearing up to ignite 2026 with the launch of the Overdrive Tour, a brand-new headline run featuring more than 15 dates across the U.S. The duo will be joined by a stacked support roster including Hairitage, Tisoki, Tynan, Oliverse, and Edison Cole, bringing some of bass music’s most explosive names under one roof.
The tour opens in San Francisco before hitting major stops like New York City, Denver, Tampa, Minneapolis, Chicago, and several others — marking a fresh era for Barely Alive as they ride the momentum of packed festival sets and heavy-hitting releases throughout 2025.
A Full 360° Production Experience
The Overdrive Tour debuts a 360-degree stage design crafted to surround the crowd from every angle. Barely Alive are preparing a high-adrenaline blend of unreleased music, classic brostep throwbacks, and signature IDs, all matched with dense laser arrays, immersive visuals, and a tour-exclusive tracklist designed to fuel maximum chaos.
The tour moves through warehouses, clubs, and theaters nationwide, with stops in San Francisco, Philadelphia, Virginia Beach, Houston, Spokane, Seattle, New York City, Boise, Denver, Chicago, Pontiac, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and Portland. The run will close with a special Overdrive Finale, set to be revealed soon. Each show features support acts specially selected by the duo to keep the energy levels peaking from open to close.
BARELY ALIVE — A Bass Powerhouse
Formed in 2013 by Massachusetts duo Matt and Willie, Barely Alive broke into the scene with a distinct, high-impact dubstep identity that quickly took them global. Their robotic mascot WATT became a staple of their branding as their world expanded through viral moments, international touring, and a catalog stacked with heavy bass anthems.
Throughout 2025, the duo stayed in high gear with releases like “Next to Me,” “Don’t Stop,” “Chicken Jockey,” and “Hold Me,” along with major remixes for Marshmello, TRICKSTAR, and Lil Jon. Their explosive performance at Lost Lands cemented their place as one of the most consistent forces in bass music heading into 2026.
