EPIC ANNOUNCE: Eric Burdon Announces New Album and Massive World Tour, The Legendary Voice of The Animals and War Set for a Triumphant Return.
After a prolonged absence from the stage, legendary rock and blues frontman Eric Burdon is making an epic comeback with the announcement of a brand-new album and an accompanying world tour. Known for his iconic work with The Animals and War, Burdon has thrilled fans by confirming that his first album in over a decade will drop in mid-2025, followed by a massive global tour that will span several continents.
Burdon’s last tour took place in 2019, where he performed hits like “House of the Rising Sun,” “We Gotta Get Out of This Place,” and “Spill the Wine” across Europe and the U.S. In 2020, he stepped away from touring due to health concerns, leaving fans uncertain if they’d ever see the rock icon on stage again. However, Burdon has now confirmed that he’s not done yet, announcing the new album, *The Fire Inside*, as a return to his blues-rock roots.
*The Fire Inside* will feature original tracks inspired by his decades-long journey through the world of music, as well as a few reimagined versions of classic songs. Described as a deeply personal record, Burdon has said the album captures his reflections on life, love, and the enduring power of music. Fans can expect the raw emotionality and distinct voice that made him one of rock’s greatest vocalists to shine in this new work.
To celebrate the release, Burdon is embarking on a world tour that will kick off in late 2025. The tour will start in the UK, with stops planned in major cities across North America, Europe, South America, and Australia. In addition to his new material, the tour will include a setlist full of the timeless hits that made him famous, ensuring that longtime fans will experience the full spectrum of his career.
At 84 years old, Eric Burdon’s return is nothing short of monumental. His fans can now look forward to a thrilling new chapter in his career as he continues to inspire generations with his unparalleled voice and lasting influence on rock and blues.
