BARELY ALIVE are gearing up for one of the most ambitious chapters of their career with the announcement of the ‘OVERDRIVE’ Tour, a 15+ date headline run that promises to push the boundaries of the modern dubstep experience. Spanning January through April 2026, the tour brings their forward-thinking vision to some of the country’s most iconic venues, transforming clubs, warehouses, and theaters into a fully immersive 360° world of sound and light.
The run launches January 31 at San Francisco’s 888 Warehouse, setting the tone for a high-octane journey across the United States. From there, the tour will hit Philadelphia’s The Ave, Virginia Beach’s Peabody’s, and Minneapolis’ Fillmore before weaving through Houston, Spokane, and Seattle’s WAMU. A massive night awaits at New York City’s Webster Hall on March 14, followed by a heavy dose of bass in Denver, Chicago, Pontiac, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and Portland. The tour will ultimately culminate in a special ‘OVERDRIVE Finale’ at an undisclosed location, closing the run with a larger-than-life celebration of BARELY ALIVE’s impact on the scene.
Each night will feature a curated lineup of heavy hitters including Hairitage, Tisoki, TYNAN, Oliverse, and Edison Cole, artists who match the intensity and innovation BARELY ALIVE bring to the stage. “Fans can expect BARELY ALIVE’s Overdrive Tour to deliver a next-level experience with its 360° stage design and mind-blowing laser and visual production,” the duo shares. “We will unleash a mix of brand-new dubstep alongside nostalgic brostep throwbacks, blending the future and roots of bass music into one explosive set. Surrounded by sound and light, fans will be fully immersed in the music, taking part in an unforgettable experience at the cutting edge of the dubstep scene.”
Momentum for BARELY ALIVE has skyrocketed over the past year. Their latest single “HANDS UP” became one of the defining moments of Lost Lands, while their official remix of Marshmello, TRICKSTAR, and Lil Jon’s “Bad Boys” with YDG further cemented their production prowess. Tracks like “next to me,” “don’t stop,” “chicken jockey,” and “hold me” showcase their signature versatility, moving effortlessly between crushing drops and nostalgic callbacks to dubstep’s golden era.
With global tour dates ahead, BARELY ALIVE enter 2026 with a renewed sense of purpose. The ‘OVERDRIVE’ Tour marks the beginning of a new chapter, one defined by experimentation, evolution, and a relentless commitment to shaping the future of bass music.

Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
