Franz Ferdinand Announce Third Album Name And Release Date

Franz Ferdinand have revealed that their new album, 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand', will be released in the new year.

The band's third album will be available in the UK on January 26th, and a day later in the US.

Frontman Alex Kapranos has previously described the record as “a bit more assured and friendlier on the dancefloor”.

He added that there was a notable difference from the “teenager having sex” sounds of their last album 'You Could Have It So Much Better'.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Franz Ferdinand are expected to perform at next year's Glastonbury Festival after playing a special fundraiser at the event's Somerset home last month.
