AIRPLANE MODE ALBUM - JAMES BLUNT | TRACKLIST, RELEASE DATE & DETAILS

James Blunt's eighth studio album, Airplane Mode, will be released on November 6, 2026, through Atlantic Records. It is his first album since "Who We Used to Be" (2023), and it was recorded largely at Pig Music Studios in Banbury, Oxfordshire, with his long-standing live band.

Blunt has said: "Somewhere back there, I lost my way, but found it again in a studio in Banbury." The title refers to the phone mode used on planes. He will support the album with a UK and Irish arena tour in spring 2027, running from Leeds on March 26 to Brighton on April 8, including London's O2 Arena on April 4. European dates are also scheduled in February 2027, including Brussels Forest National on February 19, 2027.

HMV describes the record as Blunt's "strongest work in 20 years", reconnecting with late-90s and 00s warm acoustic-pop sounds.
