Phoebe Bridgers is set to release her new album, Lost Weekend, with a series of immersive listening events at planetariums around the world. Beginning Monday, August 10th, participating planetariums will host advance playbacks of the album ahead of its official release on Friday, August 14th via Dead Oceans. Each phone-free session will pair Lost Weekend with one of two visual presentations: a custom dome show designed by night-sky photographer Babak Tafreshi or an immersive laser show created by Laser Fantasy.
Planetarium Events and Release Parties
The events will take place across more than 40 planetariums in the US, Canada, Europe, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, with multiple screenings scheduled at select locations through August 14th. Participating venues include Chicago’s Adler Planetarium, San Francisco’s Morrison Planetarium, Paris’ Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie, and Melbourne Planetarium. Bridgers and Spotify will also hold a separate invitation-only listening event for select Spotify listeners in the Jersey City area.
The planetarium screenings are not the only communal listening events planned for the album’s arrival. More than 300 record stores and other locations around the world will host midnight release parties on Thursday, August 13th, including events across North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Lost Weekend Album and Tour
Lost Weekend marks Bridgers’ first solo album since 2020’s Punisher. The 16-track record includes the lead single “Lost Boys”, and Bridgers previously revealed its full tracklist in July. For more on the record, read our review of Lost Weekend, which hailed the album as a “lyrical masterwork” and praised Bridgers’ ambitious exploration of memory, grief, and destructive cycles which can be difficult to escape along with our review of the album’s lead single.
Following the album’s release, Bridgers will take Lost Weekend on the road with “The Lost Tour,” her first solo headlining trek in several years. The run is already completely sold out across the US and UK, though fans still hoping to attend can check out our guide to finding tickets.
