Fitz And The Tantrums Details Anticipated Album ‘Man on the Moon’

Multi-platinum band Fitz and The Tantrums have officially announced their highly anticipated new album, Man On The Moon, will arrive on July 25th via Atlantic Records. Alongside the announcement, the quintet unveiled the album’s wildly infectious title track and lead single.

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 confident in their signature style, yet unafraid to venture into bold new territory.

Frontman Michael “Fitz” Fitzpatrick explains:

“I decided I was simply going to write for my heart and for my soul and nobody else. 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 vapour in the wind. I’m going to just do what I want.”

Co-lead vocalist Noelle Scaggs adds:

“We’ve never wanted to be stuck in a box. We refused to do that. 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 the album track “Ruin The Night” in March.

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 24th in San Diego, CA, visit major markets across North America, and wrap on August 31st 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. A complete list of upcoming live dates and ticket information can be found HERE.

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.
