Air To Play ‘Moon Safari’ In Full On First Tour In Seven Years
Air have announced that they will perform their much-loved 1998 debut album Moon Safari in full for the first time on a series of live dates throughout Europe, including a date at London’s Coliseum, in February and March next year.

The venues and cities have been carefully curated by the duo, Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel, to celebrate the album’s 25th anniversary. Tickets will be available via the band’s official website, except for the London date, which will be on sale here.
In a statement released to celebrate 25 years of Moon Safari earlier this year, Dunckel reflected on the album’s success, “Air’s music is not accessible or easy to discern: The format is strange, the voices are strange, the subjects are strange. Even Sexy Boy sounds strange. We were a duo doing some electronic thing, dreaming of selling 10,000 copies and being recognised by other musicians as cool. Then suddenly, we met the world. Personally, it took me time to see that we could be a big, important band.”
During Moon Safari’s gestation in 1996-97, a “new wind of freedom and creativity was carrying through the same creative part of Paris,” recalls Dunckel. “And it was not only in music — graphic design, cinema and fashion were alive.”
