Darkside

In the fall of 2025, DARKSIDE held a six-show residency at Lodge Room in Los Angeles. The trio of Dave Harrington, Nicolas Jaar and Tlacael Esparza had so much fun that they decided to do it all over again and then some. The band will now bring this same residency format to three new cities as part of their 2026 touring schedule, with a return to Lodge Room, plus similar intimate runs in Paris, London, and New York City. The 2025 Los Angeles shows saw the band stretching out and improvising deeply, drawing from their entire catalog and collaborating with new musicians. Darkside was originally comprised of electronic producer Nicolas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington. They formed the band in 2011 after touring together for several years and experimenting with each others' sounds. Drawing on their vastly different backgrounds, each musician channels himself through the other, resulting in a progressive hybrid of electronic music and psychedelic rock with an otherworldly depth. Tlacael Esparza joined the lineup and became a full-time member of the band in the early 2020s.
