Conan: New Album Done; Asian Touring Announced
In addition to the shows listed below for tours in Asia and Australia, Conan have already confirmed for Spring 2025 appearances at Hellfest in June, and Desertfest London and Heavy Psych Sounds Fest in Italy in May, so safe to say the crush-prone UK three-piece are going to do some traveling even after this big trip for February and March is done. US in the summer? Misses some Eurofests, but Conan have done just about all of them, and they’ll have just been out in Spring, so their bases are covered either way. I don’t know.
Wherever and whenever they end up, you know Conan aren’t going to let a new album go unsupported, and their new album, as their latest newsletter informs, is finished. Not saying I’ve heard the masters or anything, but it is on-form and as massive as one would expect/hope while pushing a bit deeper into the ambience of the last record and introducing David Ryley on bass in place of Chris Fielding, shifting the dynamic there a bit. It’s a little more noise rock, actually. Rawer in its shove than Conan have wanted to be in a while, but in a way that suits them. Not that I’d know.
Maybe you fly to Tokyo to see Conan in February? Trip of a lifetime, it could be.
Some of the below comes from the newsletter and the dates come from socials. Ticket links are confusing but that’s the age we live in and if you don’t want global concert monopolies, you might have to click a different link to buy a ticket in your region. A minor consideration among this future’s many horrors. I’m probably also missing a bunch of dates, so make sure you confirm some shit before you sell your car and uproot your life to get a plane ticket to Japan.
