Blood Orange

BLOOD ORANGE (UK) "Tour 2026" presented by radio FM4

Devonté "Dev" Hynes will come to Vienna for an exclusive open-air concert in the summer of 2026 with his critically acclaimed music project Blood Orange. On August 26, 2026, the British-American artist will bring his genre-defying sound to the Arena - a highlight for fans of innovative pop, R&B, indie, and experimental soul music.

For years, Dev Hynes has been one of the most influential figures in contemporary pop culture. As Blood Orange, he combines personal narratives with stylistic openness and political sensitivity - shaping not only his own albums but also the work of numerous international top acts. In recent years, Hynes has been responsible for the musical direction of Harry Styles' Grammy performance and accompanied him on 15 sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden. He has also collaborated extensively with artists such as Lorde, Turnstile, Caroline Polachek, and Daniel Caesar. In addition to his pop productions, Blood Orange has established himself as a composer of classical works, created film scores, and conceived music for the fashion house Marni.

2024 marked another highlight in his career: Dev Hynes won a Latin Grammy for his production work on Nathy Peluso's song "El Día Que Perdí Mi Juventud." At the same time, his earlier track "Champagne Coast" experienced an impressive revival and achieved gold status after going viral on TikTok.

The album "Essex Honey," released in August 2025, is his first full studio album in several years and his most personal work to date. Blood Orange impressively demonstrates that he will continue to be musically groundbreaking with his releases in the coming years. Inspired by Hynes' childhood in Essex and his exploration of loss and memory, the album weaves intimate reflections with a rich musical palette, ranging from warm alternative pop to soulful sounds and experimental textures. The project features numerous prominent contributions - from Lorde, Caroline Polachek, Daniel Caesar, Mustafa, and Brendan Yates (Turnstile) - and has been described by critics as a deeply moving meditation on identity, home, and healing.

The open-air concert at Arena Wien promises an atmospherically rich evening filled with new songs, classics from the celebrated Blood Orange catalog, and the unmistakable live aesthetic of an artist who continually reinvents himself.
