They continued, “We can’t wait to be back in a room with people and seeing where the night takes us. We’ve got a lot of new music we’re excited to play, alongside some old favourites, and we can’t wait to spend a few nights making some beautiful noise and memories together.” The tour announcement arrives ahead of the release of The Avalanches’ upcoming album, No Bad Memories, set for Friday, 16 October. So far, they’ve released the singles Together with Nikki Nair, Jessy Lanza and Prentiss, Every Single Weekend with Jamie xx, Blue Shadows with Karen O, Can’t Get Over Losing You with Portraits of Tracy and Far Away with John Glacier and Khadija Al Hanafi.
