Two weeks after Franz Ferdinand announced the January 10 release date of their sixth studio album, The Human Fear, the Scottish indie rock band revealed their North American tour dates for 2025. Franz’s newly announced run of 12 North American shows begins on March 24 in Seattle, and finishes on April 15 in Toronto. The shows come in support of the Glasgow group’s first new record in seven years, which will be released by Domino and includes the previously released lead single, “Audacious.” The album features “a bunch of songs searching for the thrill of being human via fears,” according to frontman Alex Kapranos. “Making this record was one of the most life-affirming experiences I’ve had,” Kapranos shares. “But it’s called The Human Fear — fear reminds you that you’re alive. I think we all are addicted in some way to the buzz [fear] can give us. How we respond to it shows how we are human.” (Consequence of Sound)
