Aminé

Aminé announces a tour in support of his recently-released album 13 Months of Sunshine across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe for this Autumn, including a stop off at 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Monday 24th November 2025.

He will be joined by very special guest Tommy Gold.

Tickets priced from €38.15 including booking fee & €1.50 restoration levy on sale now with Ticketmaster Ireland 

He’ll be kicking off the tour with the second edition of The Best Day Ever Festival taking place September 13th and 14th in his hometown of Portland before taking the music of his new acclaimed album and his storied catalog across the Live Nation-promoted 4-month run.

The tour announcement closely follows a pair of sold out release parties in Los Angeles and New York, where Aminé and friends celebrated the release of the new album and debuted the songs live for the first time since its release. 13 Months of Sunshine's title is a play on the Gregorian 13-month calendar that Aminé’s native Ethiopia and Eritrea follow, as well as a direct reference to the Western marketing campaigns to entice tourists to visit Ethiopia in the 60’s and 70’s. “They came up with this slogan to show people that there was so much more to Ethiopia than what is advertised,” the rapper shared, “I related so heavily to it, because on this album, I am showing that there’s so much more than what everyone assumes about my music—myself included.” Guided by intimate conversations with family members, specifically his father, and the strong ties to his East African heritage, 13 Months of Sunshine sees the rapper reevaluate his meteoric success and the legacy he wants to leave behind through intentional storytelling.

Executive produced by Dahi (Ravyn Lenae, SZA, Kendrick Lamar), every line on the 16-song album passes the “small reading room test” through lyrics that he “would be proud to read, without music and in front of 30 people,” Aminé explains, “Every line had to pass that test.” From the Waxahatchee-featuring indie pop beauty of “History” to the psych-synth invocation of Toro y Moi-assisted album closer “Images” on 13 Months of Sunshine, the rapper presents his most exacting vision to date as well as a ferocious appetite as both a listener and curator of sound. 

About Aminé

On 13 Months of Sunshine, Aminé reevaluates what he wanted to say on his songs. He celebrates his success and mourns family members and friends gone from this world. On the album—which was executive produced by Dahi—Aminé adhered to a specific goal: “My whole vision with the album was to write lyrics that I would be proud to read, without music and in front of 30 people. Every line had to pass that test.

“It’s this seriousness, passion, and attention that makes 13 Months such a stellar listen. Every line on the 16-song album passes the “small reading room test,” from the Waxahatchee-featuring indie pop beauty of “History” to the psych-synth invocation of Toro y Moi-assisted album closer “Images.”

On 13 Months of Sunshine, Aminé presents his most exacting vision to date, full of flowers both fully bloomed and on their last legs. It may not always be sunny, he seems to say, but plants need water from stormy days, too.
