The Delta Riggs Announce New Album “Active Galactic”

The rockers and rollers from The Delta Riggs have made a mammoth announcement today, making official their brand new album. Titled Active Galactic, it marks their third album and the long-awaited follow-up to 2014’s fantastic Dipz Zebazios.

New material looked to be on the horizon for The Delta Riggs after the release of the incredibly funky Surgery Of Love earlier in the year, a single they’ve just wrapped up a national tour for, but few could have predicted just how soon we’d hear an album’s worth of new stuff from the Riggs. Wonder no more, we’ll be getting our ears on that record in just a few weeks.

The finished record promises to traverse a myriad of different genres and, as Surgery Of Love has demonstrated, still stick with the vintage rock and roll sound that has won The Delta Riggs so many fans here and abroad.

You can pre-order Active Galactic now and by doing so, go in the running to win a heap of sweet prizes, including activities with some of The Delta Riggs themselves (cooking with Monte and creating a one-off piece of art with Simon sound like great fun), as well as getting access to one of the very exclusive and very secret Active Galactic launch parties out there.

As if a brand new record wasn’t enough and without showing any signs of fatigue from their tour just gone, The Delta Riggs will be taking Active Galactic on a galactic-sized tour of the country. 20 separate cities all feeling the love from September.
