The War On Drugs announce new live album ‘Live Drugs Again,’ share visualizer for “Burning”

Philly-born rockers The War On Drugs continue to cement their reputation as one of the best live acts of their generation with the announcement of Live Drugs Again, a follow-up to their 2020 live album. Recorded throughout their 2022-23 world tour, the album features 11 tracks that capture the evolving energy of their performances. Live Drugs Again arrives on September 13, coinciding with the band’s co-headlining tour with The National.

For frontman Adam Granduciel, this project reflects not just the band’s live prowess but their ongoing musical journey. “Live Drugs Again chronicles the evolution of these songs from the studio to stages all over the world; documenting our continued growth as a live band,” Granduciel shared. His bandmates, including David Hartley (bass), Robbie Bennett (keys), Charlie Hall (drums), Jon Natchez (saxophone), Anthony LaMarca (guitar), and Eliza Hardy Jones (keys/backing vocals), bring added depth and spontaneity to these performances.

The first taste of the album comes with a visualizer for “Burning,” an exhilarating live version of the ‘Lost in the Dream’ standout track, with sprawling instrumentation and a powerful live dynamic. The album’s release will coincide with the kickoff of their tour with The National, featuring special guests Lucius. Philadelphia fans can catch them at The Mann Center on September 17.
