Bonobo announces new album ‘Fragments’ and 2022 world tour dates

Bonobo has announced details of a new album ‘Fragments’, which will come out early next year and is being previewed with first single ‘Rosewood’.

The producer – aka Simon Green – will then take his new record out on a world tour in 2022, ending with a trio of gigs at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

The new album, out on January 14, 2022 via Ninja Tune, will feature guest appearances from Jamila Woods, Joji, Kadhja Bonet, Jordan Rakei, O’Flynn and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson.

“I remembered all over again how much I loved crowds and movement and people connecting with each other,” Green said of the new LP in a statement.

Bonobo’s tour behind ‘Fragments’ will begin in mid-February in the United States, before he heads to Europe in April. UK dates end the tour, with the three Royal Albert Hall shows taking place in mid-May.
