North America is about to “get cranked.” Crankdat has just unveiled a headline tour of the continent for 2025.
The Ohio-based dubstep producer and DJ’s upcoming “Get Cranked! Tour” will see Crankdat—real name Christian Smith—bring his raucous beat drops on the road for a 16-date club run next year, with each show set to feature a 360-degree performance setup.
“Im dumb happy to FINALLY announce my next tour project – 16 high ass energy shows with a brand new big body 360 style production in the biggest rooms I’ve ever had the honor of playing,” Crankdat wrote on Instagram today.
The tour will open in Montreal on February 13, 2025, and make further stops in cities like Philadelphia, Charlotte, Denver, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Chicago, Vancouver, Columbus, and more through April 19, before closing in a TBA city. Check out the full list of dates below.
Known for his viral speed-run production tutorials on TikTok and his simultaneously aggressive and fun-loving bass cuts like “STFU” and “Ground Shake,” Crankdat will be joined in support on select dates by a bevy of fellow bass heavyweights, including Blanke, Kompany, PhaseOne, YDG and many more.
The tour announcement follows a huge 2024 for Crankdat, who this year continued his ascent to the top of the dubstep scene with a milestone EDC Las Vegas debut, further landmark festival gigs at North Coast and Lost Lands, a slew of commanding Dog Eat Dog B2B’s with Riot Ten, and even his own curated takeover of Brooklyn’s famous K Bridge.
He’s also been at work in the studio this year, linking up with music giants DJ Snake and Juicy J to release their respective collaborative singles “Big Bang” and “Open The Pit.”
Pre-sale ticket access for Crankdat presents “Get Cranked!” is now live with the code “GETCRANKED.” General on-sale will follow this Thursday, December 5 at 10AM local time.
