Last year, the brothers Ron (79) and Russell Mael (76), known to the world as SPARKS,
who started their career 59 years ago, released their 28th LP, titled Mad! (stream below)
and took the road afterward for a tour that’s still going.

Now, the Maels have announced a live album. It’s named SPARKS LIVE ON THE MOON.
It’ll drop on planet Earth on September 14th. Pre-order info here.

The double LP comprises a full live set of 20 songs spanning the band’s 59 year career.

Sparks: “After our 2025 World Tour, we accepted an invitation to do a special one-off concert on the Moon, more precisely at the Taruntius Crater, near Mare Fecunditatis. Honored to be the first band to perform on the moon, let alone at the beautiful Taruntius Crater, we couldn’t have imagined the lunar fan interest, with all tickets being grabbed up within an hour. Sit back, close your eyes and imagine the wondrous setting, and enjoy Sparks’ first full concert album, Live On The Moon.”

Enjoy the first preview with Whippings And Memories.
