Dirty Projectors Release “Jumbotron” and Announce 2027 Solo Tour
Dirty Projectors have released a new song called “Jumbotron” as the band makes changes ahead of the new year.
Frontman David Longstreth will play solo shows in North America and Europe in 2027, starting in North America in April and heading to Europe in June.
The listed stops include cities such as Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Berlin.
The band has signed to Joyful Noise and launched its own imprint, Well-Tempered Zealot.
Longstreth said the song reflects on contrasts such as big and small screens, attention and detail, and entertainment and life.
The tour follows a long gap since the band’s last full-length album, released in 2018; its most recent group releases were five EPs in 2020.
The next step is the 2027 tour, with dates listed from April through June.
Dirty Projectors released the single “Jumbotron” on November 10, 2026, through Well-Tempered Zealot/Joyful Noise.

What people are saying
I was thinking about the big screen and the small screen. The big tent and the kind of tent you can make in the living room with a couple couch cushions and a blanket or two. Life and entertainment; attention and volume; focus and detail; quality and value. Listen to the song!
