The Knife’s Olof Dreijer Announces Debut Solo Tour
Olof Dreijer, co-founder of the electronic duo The Knife, has announced his inaugural solo tour in support of his debut album released earlier this year. The announcement builds on his initial independent work, an EP released in 2023, and marks a significant expansion of his solo career.
The tour encompasses major cities across North America and Europe, with multiple performances in his native Scandinavia. Dreijer intends to programme the shows around dance-oriented arrangements of his recent work alongside reissued earlier material and remixes, enhanced by specially designed visual elements currently in development.

Explained simply
Olof Dreijer is a Swedish electronic musician best known as one half of The Knife, the duo he formed with his sister Karin Dreijer. The group became known internationally for electronic pop that combined synthesizers, unusual vocal effects and theatrical performance.
Since The Knife’s last album, Dreijer has released music under his own name, including an EP in 2023 and his first solo album this year. A solo tour gives him a chance to present that work separately from the duo’s catalogue, while drawing on his longer experience making music for dance floors.
