“Holiday's signature style is full of character, utilizing vintage microphones, tape machines and old recording equipment. And now, Holiday's lo-fi New York sound has become infused with a Nashville edge in its songwriting and flair.”

“Hazy, sultry”

“Nashville’s provider of dark party tunes, delivers flickering lo-fi gloom on his debut LP.”


Romania-born, Nashville-based dark romantic, Vlad Holiday, today announces his 2025 headline tour that will span October and November. In between opening for Cage The Elephant as they return from their stadium tour with Oasis, Holiday will tour his own dates across North America. Tickets go on-sale Wednesday, July 16 at 10 am EST here. 


Last year, the down-tempo, lo-fi rock artist released his debut album My Favorite Drug. The LP dives into a lot of dark subject matter, but shows Holiday as a character very much so in the middle of his journey. He openly sings about low moments in his mental health, substance abuse, the thin line between sanity and insanity, and cyclical patterns of familial abuse, all to place an element of love into life’s heaviest topics. Album standout “I Don’t Wanna Party Anymore” features Kacey Musgraves in a more mischievous, sultry tone than she typically explores, while Cage The Elephant’s Matt Shultz can be heard on “Closer.”


Holiday contributed as a co-writer on Cage The Elephant’s latest album Neon Pill, including the title track that was nominated for Best Alternative Music Performance at the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards. The band also earned their 11th and 13th No. 1 songs on Billboard's Alternative Airplay radio chart with “Neon Pill” and “Metaverse,” both Holiday co-writes.

ABOUT VLAD HOLIDAY:

Vlad Holiday has made a career of romanticizing the past, the human condition, and looking at love and relationships through dark-tinted lenses. With downtempo crooner tracks all tinged with melancholy, Holiday has built a sonic world of his own that tries to find comfort in accepting the darker moments in life. Having gained over 40 million streams as a completely independent artist, it seems as if he’s resonating with a subculture of people that are also trying to do the same. 


Born in Bucharest, Romania, later having to flee to New York, and now based in Nashville, Holiday’s sound is heavily shaped by the weight of feeling like an outsider always on the move. Building the foundation of his music career with a downtown NYC lo-fi sound, he’s deeply indebted to his love for vintage microphones, tape machines and other old recording equipment; key elements of his signature sound and production style. 


Now in Nashville, there’s an optimism to Holiday’s current chapter as he releases his debut album My Favorite Drug. Recently, he co-wrote Cage The Elephant’s GRAMMY-nominated “Neon Pill,” “Metaverse” and “Over Your Shoulder” before spending the summer on the road opening for them. Matt Shultz and Kacey Musgraves are just two of the collaborators that can be heard on Holiday's record. After making his Austin City Limits debut, Holiday toured alongside Declan McKenna.

However bright the current moment may be, flecks of Holiday’s past always steep his music in a darkness that shows that he is a human in the middle of his journey.
