Phoebe Bridgers announces third album Lost Weekend for August release

The announcement follows weeks of speculation and a series of surprise US pop-up shows, which culminated in a sold-out performance at New York's Madison Square Garden. Bridgers has also seen her newly announced arena tour sell out across North America and the UK within hours of tickets going on sale.

Lost Weekend arrives as the follow-up to 2020's Punisher, which earned Bridgers multiple Grammy nominations and was released during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. On the new record, Bridgers appears to be refining the motifs that distinguished her earlier work while delivering what her label describes as an album "full of surprises". The album's title suggests a thematic departure, though the only further details about its musical direction come from word-of-mouth reports from material played at her pop-up shows.

Since her last solo record, Bridgers has remained highly visible. With boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, the trio collected Grammy Awards for their 2023 album the record, including Best Alternative Music Album and Best Rock Song for "Not Strong Enough". Bridgers also won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her feature on SZA's "Ghost in the Machine" and completed a stint opening for Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour.

Bridgers' upcoming tour includes multiple nights at major venues across the US, UK and Europe. The run begins in September and continues through December, with all UK dates already sold out. Support on the US leg comes from Alex G, with Isaac Wood and Anaïs joining for European shows. Two London dates at the O2 are already sold out.
