READ MORE: Phoebe Bridgers: “I definitely feel a lot less apologetic than I did before” The indie icon and Boygenius member is set to release her long-awaited third solo record next Friday (August 14) via Dead Oceans. It comes as the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Punisher’, and has already been previewed by lead single ‘Lost Boys’. Ahead of the release, she has also revealed the full tracklist for the album, and sparked rumours that it could feature guest vocals from Geese frontman Cameron Winter, who may be singing under an alias. Now, Bridgers has confirmed that fans can listen to the album in full at planetariums around the world, and each listening session will come with a specially-designed visual display. Beginning on Monday August 10, the shows come as part of a partnership with Spotify, and each showing will display one of two original visual accompaniments. The first is a custom dome show designed by renowned night-sky photographer Babak Tafreshi, and the second is a unique immersive laser show designed by Laser Fantasy. Aiming to turn the album into a shared sonic and visual experience, there are 44 planetariums taking part, including 35 locations based in the US. In Europe, there are shows being held in Switzerland, France, Ireland and Scotland, and in Australia and New Zealand there are five planetariums taking part, situated in Melbourne, Wellington and more. Recommended All of the showings will be phone and camera free, and visitors will have to place all phones, smart watches, recording and filming devices into Yondr pouches upon arrival.

Bridgers recently performed two different versions of the lead single on The Tonight Show, including a haunting acoustic rendition. Before then, the indie star played her first solo live show in three years in Roswell, New Mexico, where she debuted three new songs. Later this year, Bridgers will head out for a tour across North America, the UK and Europe, celebrating ‘Lost Weekend’. Support comes from Alex G at the North American shows and Isaac Wood at the UK and European dates.
