Cortis brings "Put Your Phone Down" tour to North America: Dates, ticket info and what to expect

There’s something rare about an artist who names a tour after the one thing nobody wants to do anymore. This August, CORTIS brings the Put Your Phone Down tour to North America, daring fans to experience live music the way it was meant to be felt: present, connected and fully in the room.

The full tour also includes dates in Asia, with shows in Incheon and Seoul, South Korea and Kanagawa, Japan, but the North American run is concentrated entirely in August.

What to expect at CORTIS’ "Put Your Phone Down" tour

The tour name is the mission statement. Put Your Phone Down signals a show built around being fully present — not filming, not scrolling, just experiencing the music and the room together. That kind of intentionality typically translates to a tighter, more emotionally charged performance where every production choice is designed to hold your attention.

CORTIS’ live energy blends intimacy with intensity. You can expect a set built for theater-sized venues, with staging and pacing designed to keep the room focused from the first song through the final moments.
