Eli played in Guadalajara (Luzy Boom – 06/06), Puerto Vallarta (Ánima Beach Club – 07/06), and Tulum (Vagalume – 08/06), wrapping up her time in the country with a special recording for the Ephimera platform in a breathtaking setting on June 9th.
Now, Eli arrives in the United States for two major appearances: her debut on the renowned Beats in Space podcast, hosted by Tim Sweeney, on June 12th in New York City, and a set at the Warung Tour during Wicked West in San Diego (June 14th). Both gigs highlight her growing international projection, placing her in one of the world’s most culturally influential cities.
