The Bloody Beetroots Announce Worldwide 2025 20th Anniversary Tour
“The Baddest Man In Electronic Music” aka The Bloody Beetroots aka Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo will celebrate two decades of making music that blur the lines between punk rock, electro and dance music. Today, The Bloody Beetroots announces details of his 20th Anniversary North American tour for spring 2025.
The worldwide tour kicks off February 8, 2025 at London’s Dingwalls. The North American leg begins April 16 at Warehouse Live in Houston. It will take The Bloody Beetroots through many major US and Canadian markets such as Austin, Albuquerque, Seattle, Vancouver, Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego, Montreal, New York and more.
The Bloody Beetroots reflecting on 20 years:
“Looking back on the past 20 years of my career, one word encapsulates it all: Chaos. It’s the force that has shaped The Bloody Beetroots, driving every reinvention and defining its evolution. At its core lies a single root – punk – woven into the fabric of electronic music. This fusion wasn’t just a creative choice; it was a way to fully articulate my identity, my influences, and my philosophy in sound.
When I started The Bloody Beetroots, it was more than a project—it was a vision. A bold attempt to reconcile two seemingly opposite worlds: the raw rebellion of punk and the boundless energy of electronic music. Growing up immersed in both, I wanted to create something that bridged the gap, something that allowed these influences to coexist naturally. It wasn’t just about innovation—it was about finding harmony in the chaos.
The project took shape out of sheer necessity. I needed to break conventions and create a space where my own rules applied. This wasn’t easy; it demanded discipline, experimentation, and sacrifice. Yet, staying true to the punk ethos that inspired me has been a responsibility I’ve embraced with pride. It’s a foundation I continue to build on, evolving with every step.
Now, two decades later, The Bloody Beetroots stands as a testament to individuality. It’s a voice for those who resist conformity, for those forging paths less traveled. While some may know the name through popular tracks, the heart of the project has always been about pushing boundaries—defying expectations, learning from failure, and celebrating success in equal measure.
As I return, you can expect nothing less than raw honesty, relentless energy, and unapologetic noise. There’s still so much to discover, so much to create. The journey is far from over, and there’s no better way to embrace what’s ahead than to do it together.”
The 20th Anniversary The Bloody Beetroots Tour will showcase all the music that put Sir Rifo on the map. Inspired by his lifelong love of punk rock and comics, Rifo first introduced The Bloody Beetroots in 2005, offering music fans an intense sound that mixes classical training and a passion for electronic music into an edgy rock-meets-dance hybrid. At each show, fans can experience the best of the genre-smashing Italian recording artist, songwriter and producer who is currently supporting his latest track “This is Blood,” featuring N8NOFACE and Teddy Killerz alongside material from his upcoming his two-part series, The Bloody Beetroots Forever Pt. 1 & Pt. 2, which will be released via Out of Line Music in 2025.
His set will include material from his albums 2009’s Romborama, featuring the iconic “Warp 1.9” with Steve Aoki, 2013’s Hide which successfully migrated into crossover territory with collaborations with rock and alternative icons like Paul McCartney and Tommy Lee and 2017’s The Great Electronic Swindle, where Rifo continued the electronic-rock narrative with guest spots from Perry Farrell, Jet, Gallows, Deap Vally and more, as well as EPs 2019’s Heavy (with Zhu and Dr. Fresch) and 2021’s The Catastrophists (with Tom Morello).
