Franz Ferdinand Tickets

Due to great demand, Franz Ferdinand add three new appointments in Italy for the summer of 2025, on Thursday 28 August at Villa Ca' Cornaro di Romano d'Ezzelino (VI) for the AMA Music Festival, on Friday 29 August at Villa Torlonia di San Mauro Pascoli (FC) and 30 August at the Cavea Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone in Rome for the Roma Summer Festival. The three summer dates are in addition to the already announced 20 February 2025 at the Fabrique of Milan, which is sold out.

Franz Ferdinand have released the video for Night Or Day, the last track from their new studio album, The Human Fear, which will be released on Friday 10 January 2025 via Domino.

The band released their single Audacious in September.

The song is accompanied by an imaginative black and white video, dramatic and aesthetically stunning, directed by Rianne White.

Produced together with Mark Ralph, who had already collaborated with them for the 2013 album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, the album shows Franz Ferdinand in shape, lively and full of energy, which point without hesitation to the more pop side, in classic Franz style.

Recorded at AYR Studios in Scotland, the 11 songs of The Human Fear all refer to the deepest human fears, and how overcoming and accepting them drive and define our lives.

Franz Ferdinand are Alex Kapranos (vocals, guitar), Audrey Tait (drums), Bob Hardy (bass), Dino Bardot (guitar, backing vocals) and Julian Corrie (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals).

Since the beginning, when they still held illegal parties in disused buildings in Glasgow, they have distinguished themselves for a fresh, unstoppable and future-oriented vision with a transgressive perspective typical of art schools but with a love for great songs. The Human Fear is undoubtedly a continuation of this tradition; different but new, musically and creatively it’s an album eager to look ahead.

First studio album with members Audrey Tait and Dino Bardot, the record also sees Julian Corrie collaborate with Alex Kapranos and Bob Hardy in the writing of songs and creative.

Franz Ferdinand signed to Domino in May 2003 and released their first single, Darts Of Pleasure, shortly after. The second single, Take Me Out, exploded on the international scene, making the band known globally and was a precursor to their debut self-titled album that sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

Artisticamente sempre all'avanguardia, gli album successivi, You Could Have It So Much Better (2005), Tonight: Franz Ferdinand (2009), Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action (2013) e Always Ascending (2018) offered a new interpretation of the Franz model and saw them collaborate with some of the most cutting-edge producers around, including Dan Carey, Joe Goddard and Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip, Todd Terje and Philippe Zdar.

Their music continues to resonate globally and over the course of almost two decades they have become, commercially and critically, one of the largest British bands in the world, selling over 10 million albums, 2.5 billion streams to date, 14 platinum albums, winning awards such as Brit, Ivor Novello and Mercury Prize, with Grammy nominations and selling 6 million tickets for their live shows around the world, which have included headliner slots at festivals like Reading & Leeds, Rock En Seine, Primavera and All Points East. The greatest hits compilation Hits To The Head, released in 2022, was a powerful reminder of how many of their songs have been universal and loved. The UK tour sold out at the Alexandra Palace in London.
