Electronic dance music has become a massive draw at nearly every major music festival, as most top headliners include at least one electronic DJ act. Once the festival season dies down, EDM artists have the opportunity to take to the road on their own, and this fall, two major headlining tours from Disclosure and Zedd have been hitting major cities throughout North America. While both tours will be winding down by the end of October, both artists have seen high demand from fans, as Zedd’s ‘True Colors’ tour and Disclosure’s tour are both averaging over $100 on the resale ticket market.
Zedd’s ‘True Colors’ tour kicked off at the end of August in Las Vegas, and the tour has weaved through North America, making stops in major cities like Seattle, Los Angeles and New York City. The tour run features openers Madeon and Dillon Francis on select dates, and is in support of Zedd’s second studio album, True Colors, which he released in May. In June, the album took a no. 4 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, moving 39,000 units. With just about a week left on the road, tickets to see Zedd are averaging $101. The priciest date left is Zedd’s stop at the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, where an average ticket is $129, with a get-in price of $50. His least expensive date is his October 22 stop at the Deltaplex in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where an average resale ticket is $65, with a get-in of $46. Hotels in Grand Rapids on Hipmunk.com start from $59 for those traveling to the cheapest Zedd tour stop.
Electronic duo Disclosure is also on the road celebrating the release of their new album, Caracal, which they debuted on September 25. Their tour kicked off September 29, and will officially wrap on October 25 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The band has been known for epic collaborations, and a live performance in Los Angeles included a guest appearance from British crooner Sam Smith, who rose to fame through the hugely popular hit collaboration, “Latch.” Disclosure tickets are currently averaging $130 on the secondary market with their priciest date at MSG, where tickets are averaging $176, with a get-in of $44. Their cheapest date is their October 20 stop in Philadelphia, where an average ticket is $53, with a get-in of $35. With a get-in price of only $35 to see the duo live in person, cheap Philadelphia flights on Hipmunk can get fans to the venue from any major city or airport.
EDM artists are also well known for their collaborations, as perhaps best witnessed through Disclosure’s collaboration with Smith, or Zedd’s major effort with Paramore’s Hayley Williams on his 2012 megahit, “Stay the Night.” Zedd’s True Colors track “I Want You to Know” features ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, who also recently announced tour dates for the spring of 2016. The dates kick off in May, and resale tickets to see Selena Gomez are already averaging $195. In the past, Zedd has hinted at wanting to work with Miley Cyrus. Although the “Wrecking Ball” singer will also be busy with her own epic tour this fall, perhaps a duo-hit will be in the works eventually. Tickets to see Miley Cyrus and The Flaming Lips are rising quickly, as her sold-out six-date tour jaunt is averaging $175 on the resale ticket market.
