Jason Pierce, nome por trás do projeto Spiritualized, anunciou para os dias 7 e 8 de novembro shows em comemoração dos 20 anos de Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space em Londres, na casa de shows Barbican.
Além de falar sobre estes shows, o músico disse através do Twitter que o sucessor de Sweet Heart Sweet Light, de 2012, será lançado no próximo ano. Jason, porém, não deu mais detalhes de sua nova obra.
It’s the 20th anniversary of ‘Ladies and gentlemen…’ next year so we figured we should be playing a celebratory concert to coincide.

Fortunately the new album is also due next year… twenty years to the day since ‘Ladies and gentlemen…’

…and so as they don’t compete, we decided to run an anniversary show this year and leave some clear space for the new album.

I just didn’t wanna pass on the opportunity to perform ‘Ladies and gentlemen…’ live again.

It’s such a massive and detailed piece of music to play and is still as demanding and relevant to me as it was on its release.

In one 70 minute blast it just about covers everything I still find interesting and engaging in music…

…from free jazz, doo-wop, and soul to rock & roll, gospel, and the blues…
All with heavy guns and the Barbican’s wide screen stage as the backdrop… It’s a real honour to be asked to play it there again.
