Phoebe Bridgers Announces New Album Lost Weekend
Phoebe Bridgers will release her new album, Lost Weekend, on Aug. 14 via Dead Oceans. The 16-track project follows her multi-Grammy-nominated 2020 breakthrough Punisher and will be supported by “The Lost Tour,” a phone-free concert series beginning Sept. 15 in Indianapolis.
When will the new Phoebe Bridgers album be released?
The album Lost Weekend arrives Aug. 14 through longtime partner Dead Oceans. A title song is scheduled to premiere June 25 at 7 p.m. ET on YouTube.
While the album contains 16 tracks, official names for the songs have not been released. This follows a period where Bridgers performed up to eight unnamed new songs nightly during a sold-out Madison Square Garden show and several surprise acoustic pop-up appearances.
The project features production assistance from Jack Antonoff and tour mate Alex G. It is described as a culmination of songwriting skills first seen on 2017’s Stranger in the Alps and expanded upon during Punisher.
What are the details for The Lost Tour?
Bridgers will support the new release with “The Lost Tour,” starting Sept. 15 in Indianapolis. The tour will cover North America before moving to Europe and the U.K. later this year.
Alex G will serve as the opening act for North American dates. Former Black Country, New Road frontman Isaac Wood will provide support for the overseas legs of the tour.
How will the tour handle phones and attendance?
The entire tour will be phone-free to preserve the communal atmosphere experienced during recent acoustic shows. Audience members must place phones and smart devices in Yondr pouches upon entering the venues.
This decision follows a pattern of arena sales that sold out across the U.K. and North America within hours.
What may happen next for Phoebe Bridgers?
Bridgers may reveal the official names of the 16 tracks prior to the Aug. 14 release date. Given the recent string of surprise pop-up shows, additional unannounced performances could occur before the official tour begins.
The success of the initial arena sales suggests that the tour’s reach could potentially expand if further demand is identified in the U.K. or Europe.
