at Pryzm, 6:30pm (14+)
EXTRA SHOW ADDED DUE TO MASSIVE DEMAND.Admission will be via e-ticket. Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event).To celebrate the release of the new album The Human Fear, Franz Ferdinand returns to Kingston to play at Pryzm.Produced with Mark Ralph, who previously worked with them on their 2013 album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, the album showcases Franz at their most immediate, upbeat and life-affirming, unashamedly going for the pop-jugular in classic Franz style.Recorded at AYR studios in Scotland, the 11-songs on The Human Fear all allude to some deep-set human fears and how overcoming and accepting these fears drives and defines our lives.Ever since their beginnings, throwing illegal parties in condemned Glasgow buildings, Franz Ferdinand have been defined by a fresh, unfading, forward-facing outlook, a transgressive art-school perspective, but with a love of a big song and The Human Fear undoubtedly continues in this tradition; distinct yet new, musically, and creatively it’s a record eager to push forward.Pretty much all written before they hit the studio, the idea was to have a songbook ready before they started recording and once in the studio it was all quickly executed - a lot of it recorded live with the band in the room and many of the vocals on the album being the original takes.The first studio album to feature members Audrey Tait and Dino Bardot, the record also sees Julian Corrie step forward to collaborate with Alex Kapranos and Bob Hardy on song writing and creative duties.A band for whom the aesthetic and style is almost as important as the sound, as ever the importance of this is reflected in the cover artwork which was inspired by Hungarian artist Dóra Maurer’s self-portrait 7 Twists - Maurer’s work appealed because it does exactly what they want from their music: a striking immediacy that is impossible to ignore, but with a depth and vulnerability that bears many returns and satisfactory repetition.Maybe this is a set of songs about fear, maybe this is a set of bangers from an era-defining band continuing their unquestionably living legacy. Is that something to be afraid of?-Times TBC but we expect doors at 6:30pm with a stage time of 7:30pmThose aged 14+ can attend unaccompanied. 8 to 13 year olds must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult (18+).

Thursday 8th February
at The Hippodrome, 6:00pm
Just before the release of their new album Franz Ferdinand return to Kingston to play a shorter all ages matinee show ahead of the sold-out New Slang show.
The fifth studio album from the New Slang (and Banquet) favourites titled Always Ascending sees the iconic post-punk influenced indie-rockers pushing themselves as they lace their songs with even more groove laden and anthemic, dancey sounds. It's great to know these legends are returning once again to Kingston.
Nothing short of a rebirth, the album’s 10 songs are a triumphant recasting of the group, bursting with fresh ideas and vigorous sonic experimentation.
PLEASE NOTE: If you choose Collect In-store as your delivery option your full order, including tickets, will need to be collected from the shop rather than from the venue.
The Hippodrome is 14+ for this show anyone under will have to be accompanied by an adult. Please do bring PHOTO ID if possible.

With the MGMT show and Franz Ferdinand playing at New Slang, we want to allow time for people to get to and from each venue. Times can be found below on our Twitter.
