"Hello cruel world / I'm not going away / So I might as well have my say," sings Joe Jackson on his new album, and there's no doubt that at a point when many of his contemporaries have lost their passion, their talent, their voices or even their lives, Jackson goes from strength to strength. Hope and Fury might, in fact, just be his best album yet.

The new album will be released worldwide on April 10, 2026 and is available for preorder now. To accompany the release, Joe Jackson and his band will embark on a major North American tour from May to July 2026, followed by an extensive European run from September to December. In total, the Grammy-winning artist will perform more than 80 shows across 14 countries.
