Sunlit grooves drift like heat off pavement, blurring the line between movement and meditation. Fresh off the release of their debut album UNICORN, RIO KOSTA extend their psychedelic orbit with newly announced 2026 North American tour dates. Rooted in ’70s psychedelia yet shaped by global funk, jazz, and modern soul, the project thrives on warm harmonies, elastic rhythms, and an unhurried sense of ease. Formed by multi-instrumentalists Mike Del Rio and Kosta Galanopoulos, RIO KOSTA emerged from chance, meeting backstage at a festival before discovering an immediate creative chemistry. That first jam session yielded not only the album’s title track, but the emotional blueprint for "UNICORN" itself.

The music doesn’t chase momentum—it sways, pulling listeners into a space where time loosens and feeling leads the way. Critics have gravitated toward the duo’s ability to balance sophistication with serenity. The newly announced 16-city North American run kicks off February 15, following a sold-out UK and European tour that confirmed the duo’s growing global pull. RIO KOSTA’s sound continues to ripple outward crafting songs that feel decadent and immersive without losing their human core. Experience UNICORN live and step into RIO KOSTA’s orbit as the tour makes its way across North America by following them on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.
