"Celebrate Ash's New Album 'Ad Astra'"
ASH has just released their highly anticipated new album, “Ad Astra,” available now via Fierce Panda. Following a series of successful performances, fans can expect the same classic Ash power-pop sound infused with fresh creativity. With tracks like the roaring “Hallion,” the striking “Keep Dreaming,” and the eclectic collaboration “Fun People” featuring Graham Coxon, the album showcases the band’s signature style while venturing into new sonic territories.
Critics are already lauding “Ad Astra.” Publications are praising it as a “colourful, charismatic, and cosmic offering” while remarking that it could easily have fit into their early 2000s era, particularly with standout tracks like “Hallion” and the title track itself. Classic Rock has even rated the album four stars, noting that Ash takes on this new chapter with undeniable energy and creativity, proving they have not lost any of their edge over the years.
To celebrate the album release, Ash will kick off a series of UK instore performances starting tonight. Many shows are already sold out, emphasizing the continued popularity of the band. For those fortunate enough to snag tickets, these intimate gigs offer a unique opportunity to experience Ash’s electrifying live energy up close.
Fans can also find detailed information about the band’s upcoming UK and Ireland tour dates, with concerts scheduled through the end of the year and into early 2026. Notably, the band is set for a series of gigs in Japan, along with several other exciting performances lined up in various cities.
Additionally, for those who cannot attend the instore events, the music video for “Fun People” is available to watch, providing a glimpse into the vibrant world of “Ad Astra.” This visual accompaniment adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the already dynamic sound showcased on the album.
As the band continues their streak of engagements—including recent shows at Glastonbury and a tour supporting The Darkness—it’s clear that Ash remains a driving force in the indie music scene. Their relentless spirit and innovative approach to music keep fans eagerly anticipating what they will do next.
With “Ad Astra,” Ash proves once again why they have remained a beloved staple in the indie-rock genre for over three decades.
