Diamond Cafe to Join Teddy Swims on North American Arena Tour, Announces ‘Fantasy Real’ EP

Diamond Cafe is hitting the road this spring, opening for Teddy Swims on his upcoming North American leg of the I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy arena tour. The 14-date run kicks off May 9th and will travel to cities across the US and Canada including New York City, Boston, Toronto and more.

To coincide with the upcoming tour, Diamond Cafe will release an EP titled Fantasy Real on April 25th. With his next full-length album nearly complete, the project serves as a warm-up for what’s ahead — a collection guided by fan-favourite moments from his recent Sex Love Color tour.

This announcement follows Diamond’s debut headlining Sex Love Color Tour coming to an end. The tour took him to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Vancouver and Seattle, of which several shows sold out. Diamond is keeping the momentum going, joining his friend Teddy Swims for his Eastern North American run. The two artists connected in 2024 when Diamond supported Teddy in New Hampshire, and Teddy has continued to champion and share Diamond’s music across his platforms, and now bringing him on the road.

Diamond Cafe has quickly become one to watch, captivating audiences with his impeccable falsetto and church choir vocals. His Festival D’ete performance in Quebec put him in front of 65,000 concert goers and quickly drew in more fans by his highly energetic and magnetic live performance, with Radio-Canada admitting they are “still trying to recover from” his stage presence and electrifying energy. Fans can expect the same on the upcoming tour.

Diamond Cafe has emerged as an artist on the rise with his latest tracks “Lover Boy,” and “Sweet Cherry.” He recently did a special live performance for Cadillac Chronicles and continues to gain more champions like TikTok music tastemaker Sam Murphy (popsamcam) slating Diamond as a must listen to. With upcoming festival appearances and new music on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be Diamond Cafe’s biggest year yet.

Hailing from Victoria, BC, Diamond Cafe has been labeled a “Pop-Funk Prodigy” by Pitchfork and has impressed audiences, alongside some of your favourite artists, with his signature sound, incredible live performances, and latest LP, Diamond Cuts. Diamond has garnered support from notable figures such as Zack Fox, Anderson .Paak, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, PNAU, and the legendary El DeBarge (“Rhythm Of the Night”), who joined him on stage for a duet during his sold-out debut show in LA. He possesses a unique quality that inspires and excites fellow musicians, which has led to collaborations with the likes of Free Nationals, SG Lewis, PNAU, Jenevieve, and Bones. He has also been a featured artist on several projects, including Gashi’s album 1984 and the Cool Kids’ album BABY OIL STAIRCASE / CHILLOUT. In addition to all this, Diamond has taken on the role of producer not only for his own music but also collaborated with BNYX on Zack Fox’s wood tip EP. His music has been heard on screen, with eight tracks synced in the HBO series Ballers, as well as placements on The Lake (Netflix) and Flinch (Prime). For the past seven years, Diamond Cafe has honed his craft, preparing for this breakthrough moment in his career.
