Today, Angels & Airwaves have officially announced their highly anticipated new album “Lifeforms”, which will be released September 24th via Rise Records. They have also announced a world tour, starting September 29th of this year, extending 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.
The band also released their 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 reliliency.
“’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,” said frontman Tom DeLonge. 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 September 29 in Riverside, CA and will move throughout the United States before spending the month of March in Europe and the UK. Tickets will be on sale on Friday, June 18 at 10 AM local time at this link here. The Los Angeles and New York shows went on sale last month while it was also announced that the band would be playing Lollapalooza on Saturday, July 31. This newly announced tour is their last since their sold-out 2019 fall tour, which was their return to the live arena after a seven year hiatus.
