Phoenix last week played a headline show at the O2 Academy Brixton in London as part of their current European tour. In a five-star review, NME hailed the performance as “a complete assault on the senses” with some “decidedly human moments, too”.
Speaking to NME for a Big Read cover feature in September, frontman Mars described Phoenix’s impressive new gig production as a “digital opera”.
“Our lighting designer is on the verge of a breakdown for real,” he said.
“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.”
Phoenix are also set to play two nights at Paris’ L’Olympia next week (November 28, 29) following concerts in Brussels (23) and Amsterdam (25, 26).
In other news, the group recently shared a music video for their ‘Alpha Zulu’ single ‘After Midnight’.
