The expanded release adds nine new songs to the original album, introducing collaborations with The Kid LAROI, Yeat, Anyma, and Corbin.

For longtime fans, the project delivers two highly anticipated unreleased recordings: “DYKILY (2017 Demo Version)” and “FTC,” offering a glimpse into Joji’s creative evolution.

A Career-Defining Album

Originally released in February, Piss In The Wind became one of Joji’s most successful projects to date. The album debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 1 on the U.S. Current Alternative Albums and Current Pop Albums charts.

The record also achieved Top 10 debuts in multiple countries, including Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, further strengthening Joji’s global presence.

Known for blending atmospheric production with emotional songwriting, the album bridges Joji’s earlier lo-fi influences with a more expansive and cinematic sound. Collaborations with Giveon, 4batz, Yeat, and Don Toliver helped shape the project into one of 2026’s most talked-about releases.

SOLARIS Tour Begins This Month

The deluxe release arrives just days before the launch of Joji’s highly anticipated SOLARIS Tour, which begins on June 16 at Prudential Center.

The arena tour will take the artist across North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, including performances in Singapore, Bangkok, Kaohsiung, and Hong Kong later this year.

Fans can expect a setlist featuring fan favorites such as Glimpse of Us and SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK alongside the first-ever live performances of songs from Piss In The Wind.

Why It Matters

The surprise release demonstrates Joji’s continued ability to evolve while maintaining the emotional depth that has made him one of the most influential alternative pop artists of his generation. With a successful album, global chart achievements, and a major international arena tour ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be another milestone year for the artist.
