Peter Gabriel shares "Playing for Time" from new LP, announces North American tour
Peter Gabriel has shared a third song from his long awaited album i/o, the orchestral ballad “Playing for Time.” Says Peter, “‘Playing For Time’ is a song that I have been working on for a long time and have performed live, without lyrics, so some people may be familiar with it. It’s been an important song for me. It’s about time, mortality and memories and the idea that each of us has a planet full of memories which get stashed inside the brain.” You can listen to it below.
Songs from i/o are being released monthly on the full moon throughout the year, and Gabriel will be on tour starting this spring. He’s just announced North American dates, which begin September 8 in Quebec City, hitting 12 cities total, including NYC, LA, Montreal, Boston, Philly, Chicago, and more. All dates are listed below and more will be announced soon.
The NYC stop is at Madison Square Garden on September 18. Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday, March 10 at 10 AM local time, with presales beforehand.
