SOMBR: You Are The Reason Tour 2026

Artist Information

He’s been called Gen Z’s rockstar heir apparent, but SOMBR is still, in many ways, Shane Boose, the kid who found his voice via a makeshift bedroom studio on the Lower East Side and who is, to this day, the sole writer (and co-producer) of his world-beating songs.

The 20-year-old NYC native taught himself production and recorded by night while studying classical music and vocal performance at the prestigious, public LaGuardia High School. Now, with a sticky mix of arena pop, indie yearn, and glam charisma, he documents young love with a smoldering vulnerability and depth celebrated around the globe.

In 2025, his smash single “back to friends” hit #1 on Spotify’s Global and U.S. charts, cracked the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 (#7), dominated Alternative Radio (#1 for 5 weeks), and is now the #1 Pop song in America. His rapid rise is also reflected in his headline tours (North America, U.K., Europe, Australia / New Zealand), which sell out instantly and have pulled in surprise guests like Sam Smith and Laufey. sombr entered 2026 with a Best New Artist GRAMMY nod following a year in which he stormed the MTV VMAs (performing and winning “Best Alternative”), played both Fallon and Kimmel, and climbed the rafters on SNL.

He also released his debut album, I Barely Know Her, co-produced by the legendary Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, The Replacements). Near-universal press raves followed, while three of the singles charted simultaneously on the Hot 100.
