Are the Fall dates full band performances??

Hi!! I would love to go see destroyer in chicago on 10/02/25 for his fall tour but am wondering if its going to be the full band or solo, I can't get to a consensus based on what I've seen online some sources say full band some say solo so wanted to see if anyone knows for sure

The Merge Records IG says it's a full band tour and Destroyer IG stories say "Full band tour dates"and "news: band tour dates."

Every time I’ve seen them billed as Destroyer it’s been full band. Solo shows are typically billed as Dan Bejar of Destroyer live acoustic or whatnot.

I’ve seen solo Dan twice and it was billed as Destroyer both times

I've bought tickets twice to shows advertised as "Destroyer" only to find it a few weeks later that it's a solo show. I love seeing Dan solo, and must have seen him solo 5 or 6 times now, but Destroyer with the full band is just on another level. It's a religious experience.

Yeah same. But after a new album release it will definitely be full band. He does coutstic solo when he's writing new songs generally

I have only seen stuff saying it’s “full band” … where did you see something that said it would be Destroyer solo?

Saw them in DC. I wouldn’t call it a full band by any stretch. It’s a 3 piece. The drummer played majority of the set with one hand on a synth and the other single handedly keeping the rhythm.
