TOKiMONSTA opening for Duran Duran and Chic on tour, adds Panorama aftershow

LA beatmaker TOKiMONSTA produces electronic dance music that’s equally indebted to R&B and hip-hop. Her latest release, the mini-album Fovere out on her Young Art imprint, features appearances from Anderson .Paak, Jonny Pierce of The Drums, and Gavin Turek (whom TOKiMONSTA previously recorded a joint EP with).

The Flying Lotus disciple, who was the first woman to sign to his Brainfeeder label, has announced she’ll be joining the summer tour dates of new wave vets Duran Duran on The Paper Gods Tour with disco legend Nile Rodgers‘ current version of Chic.

As mentioned, that tour hits NYC at the famed Apollo Theater on July 19 (sold out) and then there’s a NJ show at BB&T Pavilion on July 21 (tickets). She also plays NYC a few days later at the Panorama festival on Randall’s Island (she plays 7/23). Tickets for the fest are still available.

UPDATE (7/12): TOKiMONSTA added a Panorama aftershow happening at midnight at Mercury Lounge (7/23) the same day she plays the fest. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, 7/13 at noon. All TOKiMONSTA tour dates are listed below.

This isn’t the first time Duran Duran and CHIC have featured a talented up and comer as their opener. Earlier this year, Shamir opened for the acts and released a stripped-down cover of “Hungry Like the Wolf.”
