All London's live music

This show will feature work from throughout Joe Jackson’s remarkable career, and also celebrate the release of his new album Hope and Fury, which will be released worldwide on 10 April 2026.

“Hello cruel world / I’m not going away / So I might as well have my say”, sings Joe Jackson on his new album, and there’s no doubt that at a point when many of his contemporaries have lost their passion, their talent, their voices or even their lives, Jackson goes from strength to strength. Hope and Fury might, in fact, just be his best album yet.

Hope and Fury returns to the present, and the “JJ mainstream”, with nine strong new songs. After laying the groundwork for the album in Michael Tibes’ Fuzz Factory studio in Berlin, Jackson returned to New York’s Reservoir Studios with co-producer Patrick Dillett and assembled his on-and-off band since 2016 — “bassist for life” Graham Maby, guitarist Teddy Kumpel, and drummer Doug Yowell — augmented by the Latin percussion of Peruvian native Paulo Stagnaro. The result might strike a fan as a cross between 2019’s Fool, 1991’s Laughter and Lust, and 1982’s Night and Day.
