The War On Drugs have announced a new album and accompanying North American, UK and European shows for 2022.
The trek will get underway in the United States in January and includes headline gigs at Madison Square Garden in New York, as well as Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
Following that, it'll expand across the UK and Europe in the spring, with concerts confirmed in Birmingham, Dublin, Leeds, Edinburgh and London, where they'll play the iconic O2 Arena on April 12. Tickets for all dates go on general sale at 10am local time on July 23.
The announcement comes with news of the band's new record, 'I Don't Live Here Anymore', their first studio album in four years and fifth overall, due out on October 29 via Atlantic Records.
As a preview, they've shared the LP's soothing opener and first single, Living Proof, a combination of atmospheric synths, acoustic guitar and integrated piano. Press play below alongside the cover art and tracklist.
The follow-up to 2017's Grammy-winning 'A Deeper Understanding' was conceived by band leader Adam Granduciel, bassist Dave Hartley, and multi-instrumentalist Anthony LaMarca in early 2018. The trio recorded it over three years across seven studios, including Electric Lady in New York and Los Angeles' Sound City.
