The War on Drugs are releasing another live album. Just about four years after Live Drugs, the band will drop its new live full-length, Live Drugs Again, on September 13. The first preview of the album is a live rendition of Lost in the Dream’s “Burning.” Check it out below.

The War on Drugs recorded Live Drugs Again, on tour, between February 2022 and December 2023. “Live Drugs Again chronicles the evolution of these songs from the studio to stages all over the world; documenting our continued growth as a live band,” frontman Adam Granduciel said in a statement. “This series ensures that these versions, and some of our favorite moments on stage, will live on.”

In other War on Drugs news, they’ve released a new cover of Tom Petty’s “You Wreck Me,” which they made for the soundtrack to Apple TV+’s Bad Monkey. Hear that below, too.

Next week, on Thursday, September 12, the War on Drugs will begin their co-headlining Zen Diagram Tour with the National. They’ll be playing music from their most recent studio LP, 2021’s I Don’t Live Here Anymore, and more.
