Sparks Announce Largest North American Tour To Date

Sparks have announced a major world tour that will see the band playing some of the biggest venues in their more than 50-year history.

North American dates get underway Tuesday, June 27 at New York City’s Beacon Theatre and then continue through a massive hometown finale in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, July 16 (venue to be announced soon). Sparks Fan Club presales begin Tuesday, January 31 at 10:00 am (local); Maeling List presales follow on Wednesday, February 1 at 10:00 am (local). General on-sales begin Friday, February 3 at 10:00 am (local).

“We are thrilled to be back on tour again and to be able to share our joy with so many Sparks fans around the world,” say Sparks. “See you all soon! It’s a Sparks show, a Sparks show, a Sparks show tonight!”

Sparks Tour 2023–which includes a pair of sold-out headline shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall on May 29 and 30–celebrates the imminent arrival of Sparks’ 26th studio album, The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte. The new project is due Friday, May 26 via Island Records – their first release on the venerable label in close to five decades.

Described by brothers Ron and Russell Mael as a record that is “as bold and uncompromising as anything we did back then, or for that matter, anytime throughout our career,” the new album follows such classic Sparks releases on Island as 1974’s landmark Kimono My House, highlighted of course by the indelible hit single, “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us.”
