Purity Ring at Van Buren

Place of My Own Tour 2025

Phoenix!! Crazy dudes in the AZ crew — y’all feeling that heat?! Well it’s nothing like the middle of the summer now that it’s November and holiday time, but we got a scorcher coming in for y’all to start your Monday off proper. ‘Cause on THIS Monday, November 10th, us here at the VB are turning a once distant dream into a full on heater fever dream when Purity Ring brings their Place of My Own 2025 Tour straight to the desert to all make us sweat a little bit more. From the snow-capped corners of Canada all the way down through the NOLA for some Mardi Gras style fun, this run has been lighting up every city it touches with Purity — and you already KNOW Phoenix’s gotta bring that same energy back again for the band. The Van Buren’s about to glow, pulse, and shimmer as The Ring delivers us one of the most lost in the moment live shows of the year - a night to take off the Purity Ring for the one time, no regrets here.

And now: let’s take a second to talk about why this moment matters so much. Purity Ring didn’t just show up on the scene in the early 2010s and disappear - they planted the seeds to start their movement. Ever since they dropped Shrines back in 2012, the Canadian electro pop band has been one of the most innovative forces in indie-pop at the moment Their debut cracked open the genre, mixing ghostly vocals, warped synths, and hip-hop percussion into something totally new — a sound that’s inspired a whole generation of artists to keep it soft and make it bedroom-core to the max. Follow-ups like Another Eternity and WOMB showed their evolution and ability to hit high on the BIllboard. They pushed their music into a cinematic soundscape, creating emotional spaces while keeping the beats hypnotic and the lyrics and stories dreamlike. Their music videos became visual art pieces, their remixes caught fire across the internet, and their collabs — from Danny Brown to Jon Hopkins — proved they could glide between worlds without ever losing their identity. Now, after a long-awaited return, their 2025 self-titled album Purity Ring marks a powerful new chapter: bold, nostalgic, and intimate all at once. For Megan James and Corin Roddick, this new tour run is about coming home to the fans who’ve been with them since those late-night headphone days, when “Fineshrine” or “Obedear” felt like secret codes only we understood. The Van Buren is about to be that shared space again — a glowing, pulsating moment where the sound, the lights, and the crowd all blend into one big, cosmic rhythm.

Tickets? Almost gone - but don’t worry, like we said we got you!! Grab your crew, grab your favorite jar of glitter that’s lasted you since Sophomore year homecoming, and then : let’s lose ourselves in the middle of the ring. Time for a rebirth folks - right here in the middle of PHX.
