Peter Gabriel: “i/o” album comes this December

The latest issue of the UK’s MOJO magazine has an update on Peter Gabriel’s plans. In December, i/o will be released as a “real” (physical) album. Until then, all twelve tracks of the album will be available digitally. It is not yet known which formats will be available. However, the article suggests that all mixes will also be released physically, i.e. all songs in the bright-side mix, dark-side mix and in-side mix. Even though the article dowsn’t say anything about the specific release date, we think December 1st is the most likely release date.

Gabriel also revealed that after the tour he will “be a family man for 6 months” before returning to music: “There’s still more stuff in the can and I might keep releasing it on other full moons”.

There is no information on whether the tour will continue in 2024. However, given his statements, it is unlikely that there will be any concerts in the spring.

The new album i/o contains the following songs:

01 Panopticom02 Playing For Time

03 The Court

04 Four Kinds Of Horses

05 i/o

06 Love Can Heal

07 Road To Joy

08 So Much

09 Olive Tree

10 This Is Home

11 And Still

12 Live And Let Live
