The Bloody Beetroots will celebrate 20 years of “chaos” with a headline world tour in 2025.
Masked man Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, the founding member of the punk-meets-electro project that helped define the bloghouse movement of the 2000s with hits like “Warp 1.9” and “Rocksteady,” announced the 20th-anniversary run on social media yesterday.
Rifo will hit the road for 19 headline dates, beginning in London on February 8, 2025. He’ll then play cities such as Austin, Seattle, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, and more before the tour closes in the Netherlands in late May. More dates will be announced in the coming months. Check out the full list below.
“From a vision to reality. 20 Years of transformations, driven by one word: Chaos,” Rifo wrote on Instagram. “The Bloody Beetroots was born from the urgency to merge punk and electronic music into a single, unapologetic voice. A project for those who walk their own path, breaking the rules and rewriting them along the way.”
Now known as “the baddest man in electronic music,” Rifo established the Bloody Beetroots in 2005 alongside former member Tommy Tea, who stepped away in 2012. Hailing from Italy, the group gatecrashed the electronic scene with their screaming synth basslines in the first decade of the new millennium, playing an instrumental role in the rise of Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records and cementing electro house’s place in history.
The Bloody Beetroots latest release, “This is Blood,” with N8NOFACE and Teddy Killerz, arrived in November, complete with punk rock vocals and guitar riffs, high-octane breakbeats, and the artist’s signature sawtooth basslines.
