Rick Astley Announces New Album, Royal Albert Hall London Shows And 2024 UK Arena Tour
Tuesday, 20 June 2023

Rick Astley has announced a new album.
'Are We There Yet?', the follow-up to 2019's 'The Best Of Me', is due for release on October 6. As a preview, he's shared the the first single, Dippin My Feet. The song sees American influence seeping into his pop-rock sound. He explained:
“It’s not Americana, but the tag-line at the start of the chorus is: ‘Dipping my feet in the Mississippi River…’ It’s definitely not country, but I’ve never twanged a guitar as much as I have in the past couple of months. And there’s a bit more emotion with those guitar parts. I just think spending five months in America has retuned my ear a little bit.”
The Never Gonna Give You Up singer will support his new record with two London shows at the Royal Albert Hall on November 1 and 2. He'll then embark on a UK arena tour in 2024, with stops lined up in Nottingham, Newcastle, Leeds, Cardiff, Glasgow, Bournemouth, Birmingham and Manchester between February 22 and March 2.
Support will come from The Feeling in London and Belinda Carlisle on the 2024 dates. Tickets go on general sale at 9.30am this Friday (June 23).
