The fall tour will follow the upcoming release of the band’s eighth studio album, Let All That We Imagine Be the Light, which will drop on May 30. Tickets for the tour will go on sale on April 4 here. Singer Shirley Manson said in a statement last month that the follow-up to 2021’s No Gods No Masters will flip that LP’s rage into a more optimistic outlook.
“Our last album was extremely forthright. Born out of frustration and outrage – it had a kind of scorched earth, pissed off quality to it,” Manson said. “With this new record however, I felt a compulsion to reach for a different kind of energy. A more constructive one. I had this vision of us coming up out of the underground with searchlights as we moved towards the future.”
She added, “Searching for life, searching for love, searching for all the good things in the world that seem so thin on the ground right now. That was the over-riding idea during the making of this record for me – that when things feel dark, it’s best to try to seek out that which is light, that which feels loving and good.”
The band that also features original members producer/drummer Butch Vig and guitarist/keyboardists Duke Erikson and Steve Marker recently wrapped a South American tour and have a pair of dates in Mexico in early April. They were forced to cancel the rest of their 2024 dates in August after Manson required “surgery and rehabilitation” for an undisclosed injury she suffered on tour in Europe earlier in the year.
