The group's sixth studio album The Human Fear will be debuted on January, 10 We previously reported how the band announced a homecoming Barrowlands show to celebrate the album next year.
They will perform at the iconic East End venue on Friday, March 7, 2025 to round off a new UK tour.
They will tour across America and the UK, before turning and putting on another show at SWG3 in Autumn.
They will then go back on the road with The Killers for their Latin and South America tour in October.
Recorded at AYR studios in Scotland, the 11 songs on The Human Fear all allude to some deep-set human fears and how overcoming and accepting these fears drives and defines our lives.
The Barrowlands has a special meaning to the band, as the music video for the album's lead single Audacious was filmed there.
Talking about the album, Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand said: "Making this record was one of the most life-affirming experiences I’ve had, but it’s called The Human Fear.
"Fear reminds you that you're alive. I think we all are addicted in some way to the buzz it can give us. How we respond to it shows how we are human.
"So here’s a bunch of songs searching for the thrill of being human via fears. Not that you’d necessarily notice on first listen."
