Murda Beatz Launches First House Music Tour, "No Phones Tour"
When a hip‑hop producer swaps the studio for a club, the streets are about to feel a new rhythm.
Canadian beat‑maker Murda Beatz, whose real name is Shane Lee Lindstrom, has announced a bold pivot into house music with his first headline tour, the “No Phones Tour.” The run kicks off on July 3 at Culture in Washington, D.C., and wraps up in Miami on August 8 after stopping in five cities across the United States.
The tour’s name hints at a philosophy that puts the moment over the digital: no phones, just live beats and dancing bodies. It follows a string of recent dance‑music experiments, most notably a collaboration with the English duo Prospa and appearances at high‑profile festivals.
Beatz’s reputation began in hip‑hop, where he helped craft chart‑topping hits such as Drake’s “Nice For What,” Travis Scott’s “Butterfly Effect,” and Migos’ “MotorSport.” His catalog boasts more than 40 platinum and multi‑platinum singles and has been featured on nine Grammy‑nominated albums. The producer’s signature tag—“Murda on the beat so it’s not nice”—has become a staple of contemporary rap.
In early 2026, Beatz partnered with Prospa to release “Baby,” a track that appeared on the duo’s debut album released through CircoLoco Records. The collaboration was followed by a live performance at Coachella, where Beatz joined Prospa onstage, and a show at EDC Las Vegas with DJ Josh Baker, who invited him to play an unreleased collaboration during the festival.
The “No Phones Tour” formalizes Beatz’s transition into the house‑music arena. The schedule is as follows:
• July 3 – Culture, Washington, D.C. • July 11 – Club Vinyl Basement, Denver, Colorado • July 18 – The Spotlight, Los Angeles, California • August 1 – House Calls, Chicago, Illinois • August 8 – Floyd, Miami, Florida
Pre‑sale tickets will open on Friday, June 12 at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can register for the pre‑sale through the link on the tour’s official website.
This move marks a notable genre shift for a producer whose career has been rooted in hip‑hop and trap. By touring under a house‑music banner, Beatz is positioning himself alongside DJs and producers who traditionally dominate club circuits. The tour’s venues are mid‑size clubs known for their dance‑floor programming, which may attract both longtime hip‑hop fans and clubgoers who are less familiar with Beatz’s earlier work.
Industry observers note that Beatz’s entry into house music could broaden his audience base and open new licensing opportunities. The tour’s name, “No Phones,” suggests a focus on live, in‑person experiences, a contrast to the increasingly digital nature of music consumption.
As of the announcement, no additional releases or collaborations have been confirmed beyond the tour dates. Ticket sales for the pre‑sale period will determine the final lineup of supporting acts, if any. Fans and industry stakeholders will be watching to see how Beatz’s production style translates to a live house‑music setting and whether the tour will influence future cross‑genre projects.
In summary, Murda Beatz’s “No Phones Tour” marks a deliberate expansion from hip‑hop production into the house‑music scene. The tour’s dates, venues, and pre‑sale schedule are set, and the project underscores a broader trend of genre fluidity among contemporary producers.
