Electronic trio Above & Beyond have shared details of “Acoustic III”, their upcoming acoustic album and live tour. The album is set for release this summer on the band’s Anjunabeats imprint and will be supported by a tour of some of the most prestigious concert venues in the UK and North America, including Los Angeles’ iconic Greek Theatre for two nights June 25 and 26.

The Goldenvoice presale begins Thursday, February 13 at 10:00 AM with the password PLUSONE. The general onsale is Friday, February 14 at 10:00 AM via AXS.com.

In a new music video shot at The Alexandra Palace Theatre, a historic North London concert hall, Above & Beyond (Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo SiljamĂ€ki) introduce a new live collaborator to the stage: Marty Longstaff. Longstaff, lead singer of The Lake Poets and the voice of the title theme for hit Netflix documentary “Sunderland Til I Die”, has previously performed on two of Above & Beyond’s dance anthems; “Flying By Candlelight” and “Tightrope”. He will be joined on the Acoustic III live tour by long-time Above & Beyond collaborators Justine Suissa and ZoĂ« Johnston. Sam Burger of Opposite The Other completes the vocalist line up, having featured on the recent Above & Beyond & Seven Lions hit, “See The End”.

The band has once again enlisted musical director and producer Bob Bradley to arrange and co-produce “Acoustic III”. The album is a subtle departure from the first two albums in this well-loved series. Fans can expect more varied arrangements, with some up-tempo and even funky grooves. In Bradley’s words: “We’ve had some fun with the songs this time. It’s a little more Quincy Jones and a little less orchestral, with some really intimate moments.”

“Acoustic III” will feature completely new arrangements of some of the biggest hits from Above & Beyond’s #3 Billboard Hot 100 Album “Common Ground”, including Northern Soul, My Own Hymn and Happiness Amplified, plus reinterpretations of 2019 club singles ’There’s Only You’ and ‘Waltz’.
