After announcing an 18-date tour through Europe, self-produced melodic metal and electronicore band Esprit D’Air worked hard to add a few more European dates to this tour, with shows in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. These shows are scheduled in March and April of 2024. Dubbed as the Leviathan Tour, the tour is entirely self-promoted by Kai, and it is to be expected that Esprit D’Air’s latest album Oceans will get a full spotlight during this tour, but it has been mentioned that there is some new material on its way as well.

Esprit D’Air’s European tour will kick off with a short run in October 2023 with shows in Poland, Hungary and Spain, which will continue in February with shows in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. The band, led by vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Kai, has announced the band line-up for the upcoming tour and will be joined by akeshi on bass, Yusuke on guitar, and Jan-Vincent Velazco (Pendragon, Gus G) on drums.

The show in Hungary has been sold out four months in advance, which is quite impressive, and it has been announced that there are other shows that are on the verge of getting sold out. Tickets for the four newly added tour dates will go on sale starting Friday 7 July, 2023, at 10:00 AM local time.
