David Gray has returned with the announcement of his first new album since 2021, Dear Life , and a sprawling 2025 tour with dates across North America and the UK.
Due on January 17th via Gray’s independent label, Laugh A Minute Records/Secretly Distribution, Dear Life will include new songs about the ups and downs of the human experience. “A lot has happened to me,” Gray said in a statement. “There’s been change on so many levels, all the ups and downs and dramas and tragedies and joys that the slow movement through life brings. This record has been a reckoning with stuff that’s been building up like static for years. But I say this with joy and a smile on my face. I know what I’ve done is as good as anything I could possibly do.”
In support of Dear Life , Gray will kick off his 2025 “Past & Present World Tour” on January 24th in Boston, followed by dates in cities like New York, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more. He’ll then finish up the American leg with a final stop in Nashville on February 24th, followed by a UK leg with dates in Glasgow, Manchester, London, and more cities. Check out the full list of his upcoming dates below.
