Above & Beyond announces new LP 'Common Ground'

Above & Beyond have announced their 4th studio album ‘Common Ground’, due out on Anjunabeats in January 2018.

They chose the occasion of the biggest weekend in their history, performing to almost 35,000 rapturous fans at two landmark U.S. shows. Following a sold-out headline show at Red Rocks, Colorado on Friday the band moved on to host ABGT250 at The Gorge Amphitheatre the next evening, where Jono, Tony and Paavo revealed the album.

The new album, the follow up to 2015’s Grammy nominated “We Are All We Need”, will feature latest single “My Own Hymn” feat Zoë Johnston, as well as recently released fan favourite “Tightrope”. “My Own Hymn” received a rapturous response when Jono, Tony and Paavo dropped it at The Gorge, which was organised in celebration of 250 episodes of Above & Beyond’s hugely popular Group Therapy radio show, their 700th radio show overall.

Above & Beyond commented: “ABGT250 felt like the perfect occasion to tell everyone about our new album and The Gorge was the ideal location to host our first Group Therapy Weekender – we’re already plotting our return and want to say a special thank you to all the fans who created such a special atmosphere at ABGT250.”
