Gary Numan will debut tracks from his upcoming album ‘Intruder’ live during a global livestream gig.
The singer will drop his latest collection on May 21 and, in support of the LP, he’ll hit the stage on June 17 for a special performance, featuring new tunes and “songs from throughout [his] career”.
“I have big news. We will be performing a one off, global online concert premiere of my brand new album Intruder on June 17th for you, wherever you are in the world,” the Tubeway Army star announced in a social media post.
“This will be the very first time the album has been performed live anywhere, and the set will include songs from throughout my career.”
Tickets are available now.
After announcing ‘Intruder’, Gary explained the concept of his latest record, revealing the set “looks at climate change from the planet’s point of view”.
“If Earth could speak, and feel things the way we do, what would it say? How would it feel?” he posed.
“The planet sees us as its children now grown into callous selfishness, with a total disregard for it’s well being. It feels betrayed, hurt and ravaged. Disillusioned and heartbroken it is now fighting back. Essentially, it considers human kind to be a virus attacking the planet.
“Climate change is the undeniable sign of the Earth saying enough is enough, and finally doing what it needs to do to get rid of us, and explaining why it feels it has to do it.”
Recorded at Gary’s home studio in Los Angeles and at producer Ade Fenton’s studio in Bath, ‘Intruder’ is the fifth in the pair’s long-running collaboration, beginning with 2006’s ‘Jagged’.
‘Intruder’ is available to pre-order in a number of formats – including CD, 2LP coloured vinyl and cassette – from Gary’s store.
Pre-ordering the album grants access to a private area of Gary’s online store, featuring exclusive album text, audio and video updates documenting the creation of the project.
