Franz Ferdinand are kicking off 2025 with the release of their first new album in seven years, The Human Fear, on January 10. Now, the Scottish indie-rock band has announced tour dates in North America and Europe in support of that LP. The run begins on February 14, in Lisbon, Portugal, and brings Franz Ferdinand through Spain, Italy, Germany, France, England, and other countries before heading to the United States and Canada. The run ends on April 15 in Toronto, Ontario. Check out the group’s full list of tour dates below.
Inspired by the thrill of danger that makes life so memorable, The Human Fear is Franz Ferdinand’s sixth album since they formed back in 2002. The band reunited with Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action producer Mark Ralph to record the new LP in Scotland. The follow-up to 2018’s Always Ascending is led by the single “Audacious,” which also came with a music video.
