Quadeca, the project of singer-songwriter and producer Benjamin Lasky, has announced a 2026 North American tour in support of his upcoming album Life 1. He’s also shared “Hell of a Time,” the album’s latest single.
After appearances at Fuji Rock Festival on July 25th and Lollapalooza on August 1st, Quadeca’s “Life 1” North American tour will formally commence in Mesa, Arizona on October 10th. He’ll continue with shows in cities like Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Washington D.C., New York, Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Denver, Vancouver, Seattle, and more. The tour concludes with a show in Quadeca’s native Los Angeles on November 10th. Derby and Oleka will open throughout the run. See Quadeca’s full list of tour dates below.
Tickets for Quadeca’s “The Life 1 Tour” will first be available via an artist pre-sale running on Wednesday, July 29th at 10:00 a.m. local time; fans can sign up for pre-sale access to their desired show date(s) here. Tickets will go on sale for the general public on Friday, July 31st at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. A portion of the tour proceeds will go to City of Hope, and organization that works to advance cancer research, provide lifesaving treatments, and support children and families facing cancer.
“Hell of a Time” is Quadeca’s latest offering from Life 1, his fifth album; Quadeca has yet to reveal the album’s release date. It follows prior singles “Dark Magic” and “Baby Steps” and takes a heavily-layered sonic direction; with a drum machine beat, piano flourishes, and auto-tuned vocals from Quadeca, “Hell of a Time” is a busy, bustling earworm. “I know, I know/ Palm of your hand like the back of mine,” he sings before and after his falsetto-laden chorus. Stream the new song below.
Quadeca’s last album was 2025’s Vanisher, Horizon Scraper.
