Spiritualized’s magnum opus, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, turns twenty in 2017, so to celebrate, the English space-rock greats announced that they will play the album in its entirety at a show on November 7. To encapsulate the expansiveness of the album, the band will perform at Barbican Hall in London and be accompanied by a gospel choir and 15-piece orchestra made up of percussion, brass, and strings.

In the same Facebook post announcing the gig, Spiritualized also confirmed that they plan to release a new album next year “twenty years to the day since ‘Ladies and gentlemen.’” So, for now, it looks like the followup to 2012’s Sweet Heart Sweet Light is coming on June 16, 2017. Read the Facebook post below, and head here for ticketing information on the Ladies and Gentlemen show.
