Is there a new Alt-J album?

Not yet. The tour is called the Then Again Tour and the band have not announced new music alongside it. Their most recent album is The Dream, released in 2022, while frontman Joe Newman has since put out a solo album, The Canyon, under the name JJerome87.

The London show is part of The O2’s 20th birthday year – the venue opened in 2007, the same era Alt-J were forming at university in Leeds.
