Spiritualized Releasing New Album Next Year, Announce Ladies and Gentlemen… Shows
Spiritualized are revisiting their classic LP Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space once again. Ahead of its 20th anniversary next year, they’ll play the album at a pair of shows on November 7-8 at London Barbican. In announcing the show, Jason Pierce also revealed a new Spiritualized album, the follow-up to Sweet Heart Sweet Light, is coming next year. See some of his tweets below.
It’s the 20th anniversary of ‘Ladies and gentlemen…’ next year so we figured we should be playing a celebratory concert to coincide.

Fortunately the new album is also due next year… twenty years to the day since ‘Ladies and gentlemen…’

…and so as they don’t compete, we decided to run an anniversary show this year and leave some clear space for the new album.

I just didn’t wanna pass on the opportunity to perform ‘Ladies and gentlemen…’ live again.

It’s such a massive and detailed piece of music to play and is still as demanding and relevant to me as it was on its release.

In one 70 minute blast it just about covers everything I still find interesting and engaging in music…

…from free jazz, doo-wop, and soul to rock & roll, gospel, and the blues…

All with heavy guns and the Barbican’s wide screen stage as the backdrop… It’s a real honour to be asked to play it there again.
