Phoenix will soon kick off the Asia leg of their world tour on March 3 in Hong Kong, before embarking on a string of European dates starting in Benicàssim, Spain on April 7.

Speaking to NME in their recent Big Read interview, the band likened their upcoming shows to a “digital opera”.

“Our lighting designer is on the verge of a breakdown for real,” Thomas Mars laughed.

“We’re playing with the same tools that have worked for centuries. You can open the curtain to different environments and mess with people’s perceptions. In a live show, everything is possible.”

Reviewing their London show in November last year, NME described the show as a “another staggering assault on the senses”.

Elsewhere, in September last year Beck shared a new cover of Neil Young‘s ‘Old Man’. It followed a new collaboration with Gorillaz, with the singer and cartoon band giving ‘Possession Island’ its live debut at Gorillaz’ Los Angeles show in September.
