Tallying billions of streams, selling out legendary arenas, and earning widespread critical acclaim, platinum-certified group LANY consistently deliver rafter-reaching anthems anchored by airtight songcraft and the outsized personality of enigmatic frontman and songwriter Paul Jason Klein.
Fresh off the back of their latest release Soft , the album marks a defining moment in the band’s personal and professional lives. Writing the album just weeks after a serious accident that saw Paul wake up in an ambulance, the project solidifies a sonic identity that is simultaneously incredibly fresh and peculiarly familiar (another dichotomy that defines the record). Its subsequent deluxe edition Soft 2 serves as the project’s “Part 2”, showcasing the contrast of hard and soft with tangible, literal, physical hardness, juxtaposed with metaphorical, relational (and, at times too, physical) softness.
Performing across the globe in 2025, including two special nights with The National Symphony Orchestra at The Kennedy Center in DC and headlining Seoul Jazz Festival in May, LANY then rounded out the year announcing their soft world tour . Previously nominated for ‘Best Pop Tour’ by Pollstar , the band’s energetic, entrancing, and ever-evolving live show continues to captivate fans on multiple continents – and the soft world tour is no exception. The band’s most impressive live show yet, selling 300,000+ tickets has already seen them perform in Dubai, Mumbai, Santiago and Buenos Aires, with North America, Europe and Asia still to come across 2026. The tour will see LANY headline first-time venues including the Intuit Dome locally in LA, Barclays Center in Brooklyn and OVO Wembley Arena in London, alongside a return to the largest indoor arena in the world in Manila.
With four gold singles— ‘Malibu Nights’ , ‘Super Far’ , ‘I Quit Drinking’ [with Kelsea Ballerini], and ‘Mean It’ [with Lauv]—in addition to scoring platinum status with ‘ILYSB’ , LANY have quietly cracked the mainstream on their own terms as one of the most ubiquitous, unpredictable, and undeniable alternative rock bands of this era.
Don’t miss the anticipated return of alt-rock duo LANY as the soft world tour lands in Sydney this November.
