The upcoming gig will mark Pop’s first UK performance since he played at London’s Barbican Centre in late 2019. That show saw the iconic artist air his latest album ‘Free’ in its entirety.
‘Every Loser’ is scheduled for release on January 6 via Atlantic and Gold Tooth Records, the label of producer Andrew Watt (pre-order here). Pop has already previewed the 11-track project with the single ‘Frenzy’.
“I’m the guy with no shirt who rocks; Andrew and Gold Tooth get that, and we made a record together the old-fashioned way,” he said in a previous statement announcing the partnership with Gold Tooth and Atlantic.
“The players are guys I’ve known since they were kids and the music will beat the shit out of you. Have a great day.”
Iggy Pop will release a 10th anniversary edition of his 2012 album ‘Aprés’ as part of Record Store Day’s Black Friday next week (November 25).
