Get ready to turn up the volume—Zephyr Love is hitting the road for their much-anticipated 2025 Zephyr Love Summer Tour across the U.S., and it’s shaping up to be a sun-drenched retro-rock spectacle for the ages.

Expect plenty of surprises: Zephyr Love will be playing all-original jams that shimmer with vintage flair, and they’ve tapped on-the-rise opening acts like Gas Money to keep the stage buzzing. This is more than just nostalgia—it’s a living, breathing homage to a bold rock tradition, yet filtered through the band’s modern-lens creativity.
So no matter where you land on the tour map, prepare to rock out at The Big Easy with a band that’s dialing up the retro voltage—and delivering punchier, more intimate versions of their evolving sound.
