Danish indie starsICEAGE, who formed in 2008 and are spearheaded by Elias Rønnenfelt released their 6th full-length, For Love Of Grace & The Hereafter, their first in 5 years, last May. It gave Rønnenfelt time to write/record/release 2 solo LPs.
The band will take the road next year to play in the US and UK/Europe.
Illinois‘ rock megastars FALL OUT BOY celebrate their 25th anniversary as a band this year. They’ll party with their innumerable fans next year in the US and UK/Euro. The tour is dubbed the Twilight of the Punks. In the US, Offspring, Good Charlotte and The Story So Far will join them.
Frontman Black Francis clarified back in 2004, when PIXIES reunited
after a 11 years hiatus, that the reason for the return was the fact that
playing music is the only job he’s good at.
Now 22 years, 5 albums and countless tours later he’s still working.
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of 4th album, a limited vinyl reissue came out.
It came with 2 previously unreleased tracks, Brackish Boy and Punk Loop on 7″.
They songs are now released digitally too.
.
That said, Black and his compadres
will continue their lust for touring.
English hot shot rocker FRANK TURNER and his band Sleeping Souls will be busy on the road next year.
His latest full-length, his 10th, named Undefeated, dates from 2024.
Last June, he came up with a reworked version of the album’s single Do One featuring Montreal-based artist Guilhem.
The tour is billed ‘Last Evenings’; no idea what that means; No First Evenings?
Last August, the unwearying prog-rock maniacs KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD from down under released their 28th album in 14 years. Hallelujah. Champagne.
A truly unexpected one, as they, obviously, had thrown their guitars through the window
and dropped the full-electronic record ALIEN METAL. Stream all the synth havoc below.
They just announced Tour Dates for 2027, starting with the
UK and Europe. I suppose they will bring their guitars along.
Mysterious and experimental, Canadian wackadoos ANGINE DE POITRINE
(French for angina pectoris. A severe pain in the chest and left arm, caused
by heart disease) featuring (cuckoo aliases) Khn de Poitrine (guitar/bass) and Klek de Poitrine (drums) became a stunning sensation overnight with the
release of their 2nd jaw-dropping LP, Vol. II, last April.
Suddenly, all their tour dates sold out in no time.
And everybody – press, social media, TV – wants
a piece of them.
2027 looks like it will be their year too.
They just announced new tour dates.
As all U2 fans know, their heroes are releasing album number 16, their first
in 9 years, titled Carnival De Luz on November 13th. Pre-order info here.
Bono:“Roll up, roll up, roll up! Bring your purple socks, your broken hearts, your
rose-tinted naivety… oh be amazed in the hall of mirrors. There will be loud guitars,
deep bass, some ecstatic rhythms and, yes, some silver tears will make an appearance.
The Edge: “It’s a messy, provocative, sacred collection of songs, and
features the first-ever use of flat-wound strings on a U2 recording.
Just saying.”
Three weeks ago, following debut single Fireflies, they
premiered the 2nd preview with Silencio. A solid gold
crackerjack.
Enough about the music. Tour news now.
They just announced the first shows of a 2027 world tour.
They start with Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and São Paulo.
