Wire Confirm Object 47 Release Date, Plan U.S. Shows

Wire Confirm Object 47 Release Date, Plan U.S. Shows Art-rock legends Wire are nothing if not precise, which makes it ironic that it took them so long to firm up a release date for their new album. But they've finally got one, and the waiting for the follow-up to 2003's Send will end on July 7, when Object 47 comes out in the UK.

The first taste of the new Object, "One Of Us", graced Forkcast earlier this week.

Wire's next show is tomorrow, May 30 in NYC, and the band has a handful of festival dates this summer. They also have a U.S. tour in the works for October.
