Beat, stylized in all caps as BEAT, is an American rock supergroup and touring project formed in 2024 featuring former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin alongside guitarist Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danny Carey. The project was assembled to reinterpret and perform material from King Crimson’s 1980s albums Discipline (1981), Beat (1982), and Three of a Perfect Pair (1984). [1]

Beat's tour began with a North American leg in 2024, where in excess of 60 dates were performed, featuring music drawn from the three King Crimson albums that inspired the project. [1]

In 2025, the group continued touring across Mexico and South America, [2] and later announced a return to Japan with a performance at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo scheduled for September 1, 2025 [3]

In December 2025, Beat announced an extensive summer 2026 tour across Europe, continuing its mission to honor the music of King Crimson’s 1980s period. The itinerary includes headline performances in major European cities such as London, Paris, Munich, Vienna and Barcelona, followed by additional festival appearances at venues like the Amphitheatre of Pompeii in Italy.
