LEVEL UP - The Ritual Tour 2027

LEVEL UP brings The Ritual Tour to Newport Music Hall on Friday, March 12, 2027, with Costa, St. Mary and Tazu opening. It's one of 18 North American dates on the run.

If you're not familiar with the name, LEVEL UP is the project of Sonya Kardon, a bass music DJ and producer who started as a battle DJ under the mentorship of Rob Swift. She eventually moved into dubstep and production, and her sound blends heavy bass and future bass with her own flips of classic dance and emo anthems. She's known for her intricate doubles and musical storytelling, and since 2021 she's headlined six North American tours, playing stages like Red Rocks, Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas, Lost Lands, Electric Forest and Ultra Music Festival.

Her catalog spans labels including Monstercat, Deadbeats, Subsidia and Cyclops Recordings, alongside her own imprint, Summoning Circle. 2026 was a breakthrough year for her: a sold-out Parallel Spirits headline tour, the hit 'Club XL' with Excision, and a 'Breakout Artist of the Year' nod at the EDM Awards. The Columbus date is part of an 18-date North American headline run, so it's one of the few times she'll be playing a room this size in the region.

Doors open at 7 PM at Newport Music Hall, with Costa, St. Mary and Tazu warming up before LEVEL UP takes the stage.
