Tom Odell Announces New Album & 2025 UK/European Tour

Tom Odell is set to enchant music lovers with the release of his new album ‘A Wonderful Life' scheduled for September 5, 2025, under UROK/Virgin. Following the critical success of ‘Black Friday' released in 2024, this album promises to explore a spectrum of human experiences, wrapped in Odell's signature honest songwriting style. Described as a project capturing the “messy and convoluted” nature of human existence, Odell's latest offering dives deep into the complexity of life's joys and sorrows. The album's creation was a labor of love for Odell, who spent nine months perfecting the lyrics during commutes and tours, ensuring that each word was deliberately chosen and reflective of his intent to portray an authentic depiction of modern life.

The anticipation surrounding ‘A Wonderful Life' is fueled by the release of singles like ‘Don’t Let Me Go' and the introspective ‘Don’t Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder'. Odell's new material is expected to illuminate both the challenges and the hopeful undercurrents of life's journey, with songs that resonate on a deeply personal level. The album’s sound is characterized by Odell’s raw vocal delivery, complemented by a backdrop of subtle instrumentation, which together create an intimate atmosphere for listeners.

In support of his new album, Tom Odell has announced an extensive UK and European headline arena tour set to launch in October 2025. Kicking off in Cardiff on October 21 and culminating in Antwerp on December 4, the tour promises to be a significant event in the live music calendar. With performances scheduled at iconic venues such as London’s O2 Arena, Paris’s Accor Arena, and Berlin’s Uber Arena, the tour highlights Odell’s increasing popularity and international appeal. Throughout the tour, audiences can expect to experience the emotional breadth of Odell’s new work live, an opportunity that fans will undoubtedly cherish. Tickets for the tour are slated to go on general sale beginning May 30, 2025.

The new album and tour are significant milestones in Tom Odell's illustrious music career, embodying his transition from chart-topping success to a more introspective and profound artistic expression. Throughout his career, Odell has been celebrated for his ability to convey raw emotions and universal truths through music, a theme that ‘A Wonderful Life' continues to explore. Fans can expect tracks such as ‘Prayer' and ‘Can Old Lovers Ever Just Be Friends?' to showcase his narrative storytelling prowess, while songs like ‘Ugly' and ‘The End Of Suffering' may present a more vulnerable side to his songwriting.

Tom Odell's commitment to authenticity and emotional honesty has won him a devoted fan base and numerous accolades, including the BRIT and Ivor Novello Awards. Not one to rest on his laurels, Odell's latest album and tour are a testament to his ongoing artistic evolution and dedication to pushing the boundaries of his music.
