Temples, formed in England in 2012, are known for their modern take on psychedelic rock, blending vintage influences with contemporary production. Their latest album, ‘BLISS,’ released earlier this year, is the focus of the current tour, which follows a series of European dates in October, according to the band’s official website and social media updates.
The inclusion of support act GIFT on several North American dates marks a continuation of Temples’ tradition of featuring emerging artists on their tours. Poppy Jean Crawford is also listed as a support act for the Tucson show, according to Discotech and other ticketing sources.
While most ticketing and event listings refer to the North American shows as part of The BLISS Tour, some platforms do not explicitly use the tour name for every date. However, the majority of sources, including Ticketmaster and Discotech, confirm the branding for key stops such as Brooklyn, Washington, DC, and Madison, Wisconsin.
According to the band’s official channels and ticketing partners, fans are encouraged to purchase tickets early due to anticipated demand in major markets. No official statements have been released regarding additional dates or changes to the current schedule.
