Official press release:
Today, Angels & Airwaves have officially announced their highly anticipated sixth studio album, Lifeforms, that will be released September 24. They have also announced a world tour, beginning on 29th September of this year that will extend into 2022. Both of these announcements were first made from space, when the band partnered with Sent Into Space to launch a renewable hydrogen capsule which played an out of this world premiere of the entire album along with displaying the tour and album information – watch here:
This celebration extends to the release of the band’s second track from the forthcoming record entitled “Restless Souls” which is written from the perspective of God as a letter to humanity regarding life’s trials and the necessity for humans to demonstrate resiliency.
Frontman Tom DeLonge said:
“’Restless Souls’ in many ways is a honest letter from God to humanity – because life seems to always be looking for ways to inspire, clarify and teach us when things become more difficult.”
Of Lifeforms, he said:
“This album for me is a journey through different relationships, different points of view, and how we each have our own life path.”
The tour will begin on 29th September in Riverside, CA and will move throughout the United States before spending the month of March 2022 in Europe and the UK.
Tickets for the EU shows go on sale on June 18th at 10am local time
Tickets for the UK shows go on-sale on June 25th at 9am local time.
