Air Announce Album, Single And UK Tour

Air have announced a trio of live dates to support their new album ‘Pocket Symphony.’

The French purveyors of chilled-out electronica play shows in Glasgow, Manchester and London this March.

They coincide with the release of ‘Pocket Symphony’ on March 5, which will be followed by the single ‘Once Upon A Time’ a week later.

The follow-up to 2004’s ‘Talkie Walkie’ has been co-produced with former Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.

Nicolas from the group says it is a change in direction from previous efforts. He said: “This album is different. We decided to go back to the soundtrack music style, with more instrumentals and less songs.”

The tour dates are as follows:

Glasgow ABC – March 14
Manchester Academy – 15
London Forum - 16
