Multi-platinum band Fitz and The Tantrums have officially announced their highly anticipated new album Man On The Moon will arrive on July 25 via Atlantic Records. The 14-track collection is available to pre-order and pre-save beginning today. Alongside the announcement, the quintet have also unveiled the album’s wildly infectious title track and lead single. Stream “Man On The Moon”, and watch the track’s official animated visualizer, the second in a series of four stunning clips from Kidmograph, on the band’s YouTube channel.
Man On The Moon is Fitz and The Tantrums’ most daring album yet — a no-nonsense collection of soulful, pop-inflected masterpieces that both thrill and engross listeners in equal measure. It’s the sound of a band that’s confident in their signature style, yet unafraid to venture into bold new territory.
“I decided I was simply going to write for my heart and for my soul and nobody else,” explains frontman Michael “Fitz” Fitzpatrick. “At this point in our career, myself and the band feel we have complete creative license. Because, c’mon, nobody knows what the rules are anymore. So I’m not going to chase some vapor in the wind. I’m going to just do what I want.”
“We’ve never wanted to be stuck in a box. We refused to do that,” adds co-lead vocalist Noelle Scaggs. “With this project, we’re daring to be different.”
The album’s Motown-tinged lead single “Man On The Moon” jump-started the writing process, and set the compass and direction for the entire project. Fitz wrote the dreamy, escapist track about wanting to break free from the weight of everyday life. Over a Supremes-inspired groove, he croons, “Take me on a rocketship to outer space, don’t let me come down for nothing,” before the song soars into a massive, chantable chorus. The band set the stage for Man On The Moon with the surprise release of album track “Ruin The Night” in March. The song’s official animated visualizer, is brought to life by Kidmograph.
Fitz and The Tantrums will celebrate the release of Man On The Moon with a 31-city summer headline tour. The Man On The Moon Tour will kick off on July 24 in San Diego, CA, visit major markets across North America, and wrap on August 31 in Austin, TX. Aloe Blacc and Neal Francis will appear as special guests on select dates. Ax and the Hatchetman, SNACKTIME, and Gable Price and Friends will provide support. The tour’s itinerary can be found below. This weekend, the band will embark on a run of headline shows across the Southeastern United States, before joining Lindsey Stirling’s Master of Tides Cruise.
Man On The Moon follows Fitz and The Tantrums’ 2022 studio album Let Yourself Free. Highlighted by singles “Sway” and “Moneymaker,” the LP arrived to widespread praise from Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, Billboard, and more. The band toured extensively in support of the album, visiting sold-out venues coast-to-coast and abroad. They also delivered high-energy performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Good Morning America, and brought holiday cheer to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and The Rose Parade.
Since their inception, Fitz and the Tantrums have delivered hit after hit, including the 4x-Platinum “HandClap,” 3x-Platinum “Out of My League,” Platinum-certified “The Walker,” and Gold-certified “Moneygrabber.” With a new album and a headline tour on the horizon, Fitz and The Tantrums are poised to make this summer unforgettable.
