TØKIO M¥ERS is proud to announce his DEBUT solo classical piano tour, ‘Awake but Dreaming’
commencing May 2024 in the UK. Tour dates below.
Tøkio will be performing his new solo classical album featuring an array of beautiful and reflective pieces
of original music inspired by the birth of his first daughter. Tokio will also include stripped back
arrangements of his most popular works; released & unreleased.
For the first time ever, Tøkio will be adding selections of traditional classical music to this tour –
showcasing not only his technical prowess, but also inviting you to experience which artists inspired &
influenced the TØKIO M¥ERS we all love and know today.
“If I hadn’t gone to dark places in life and explored as much as possible the extremities of music, then I
could’ve never understood how beautiful & perfect simple music is – I’ve learnt after all these years that
my training and experimenting were essential, in order for me to finally understand, appreciate, and truly
feel how to play the most simplest of pieces – it feels like an awakening.”, says Tøkio.
ABOUT TOKIO MYERS:
– After capturing the nation as Winner of Britain’s Got Talent in 2017, TØKIO M¥ERS was dubbed a ‘Rising
Star’ by Simon Cowell. His sense of originality and musicianship garnered immense praise from both the
judges and public, subsequently earning him a record deal with Syco Entertainment.
– Tokio went on to reach top 5 status in the UK official album charts with his debut cinematic album ‘Our
Generation’, the only pianist ever to achieve this feat.
– The album went gold, selling over 100,000 copies in the UK alone.
– He has become one of the most innovative artists of today, creating his own unique artistic lane. His
alchemist approach to writing and performing classical & contemporary music is what sets Tøkio apart
from his peers. Drawing on his life experiences, Tokio and turns them into cleverly constructed
compositions, which seamlessly integrates music from the past and present.
Since his success, Tøkio has performed sold out UK and Ireland Tours in the UK & Ireland including the
iconic London ‘Printworks’ venue for his ‘Our Generation’ tour.
He has performed twice at the London’s legendary Royal Albert Hall, supported by none other than the

sellout audience at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, and performed at the Fifa Fan Festival for the World
Cup in Qatar 2022 with 60,000 attendees in total.
More recently he has received critical acclaim, collaborating with Jaeger Le Coultre as part of the ‘Made
of Makers’ programme – which led to Tøkio featuring in Vogue Hong Kong, GQ Japan, New York Times,
Culture L.A, as well as seeing him perform in Shanghai China, Los Angeles U.S, & London U.K.
Lastly, it gives us great pleasure to announce that TØKIO M¥ERS will also be releasing a series of
