The new album will be released worldwide on April 10, 2026, and is available to pre‑order now. ‘Hope And Fury’ is Jackson’s first studio album since 2019’s ‘Fool’.
On the new single ‘Welcome to Burning-By-Sea’, Joe Jackson sketches, with his characteristic sharp wit, a fictional English seaside town – inspired by Brighton and Jackson’s hometown Portsmouth – which becomes a microcosm of the whole country, with all its contrasts and contradictions.
After laying the groundwork for the new 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’.
To celebrate the new album, Joe Jackson and his band will embark on a major North American tour starting May 2026, followed by an extensive European run starting September. In total, Joe Jackson will perform 80 shows across 14 countries. Tickets are available under Joe Jackson’s website.
Dividing his time between New York City and Portsmouth, Jackson describes himself as “bicoastal” both geographically and musically — and the new album ‘Hope And Fury’ as Bicoastal LatinJazzFunkRock.
