Joe Jackson & Band - Hope And Fury Tour 2026
"Hello cruel world / I'm not going away / So I might as well have my say" - Joe Jackson opens his upcoming album Hope and Fury with these words and shows that he is still full of energy and creativity. As with his previous works, Hope and Fury is bursting with strong songs, original lyrics and funky grooves - with Jackson's vocals and keyboard playing as powerful as ever, if not more so. In keeping with the title (an ironic allusion to "Land of Hope and Glory"), this is a very English Joe Jackson, whose new songs reveal an ambivalent relationship with his homeland. At a time when many of his companions have fallen silent, Jackson sounds stronger than ever.
With Hope and Fury, Jackson presents nine brand new songs that showcase his entire stylistic range - from Latin jazz to funk to rock. Recorded with his long-standing band around Graham Maby, Teddy Kumpel and Doug Yowell, supplemented by percussionist Paulo Stagnaro, the album was created between Berlin and New York in collaboration with co-producer Patrick Dillett.
Musically, Hope and Fury is reminiscent of classics such as Night and Day or Fool: melodic, clever, groovy and full of British humor. Jackson sings about life between hope and anger, about society, love and self-irony - from the biting anthem I'm Not Sorry to the touching ballad See You in September.
To accompany the release of Hope and Fury (in April 2026), the exceptional artist will embark on a major world tour in 2026 - with concerts in North America in May and a subsequent European tour in the fall. Joe Jackson will also be stopping off in Germany with eight exclusive shows.
