The following description comes from the event organizer.

Our sixth album, My Big Day, is now finished and we're getting ready to put it out into the world. 

We hope this album will surprise people. After nearly 20 years together, there is always a danger of falling into a comfort zone and we've pushed harder than usual against that on this record. We continue to make music together not only because of the deep connection we have to one another, but also because we believe something magical happens when we make music together. 

My Big Day is also a shared endeavour with old and new friends. It features Damon Albarn, Holly Humberstone, Jay Som and Nilüfer Yanya, along with a very surprising and frankly iconic guest we'll tell you about later in the summer. We also relied on Flyte, Rae Morris and Kawala to provide backing vocals on several songs and we are grateful to them for indulging us with last minute sessions. Finally, although Jack drove the production of this record, Paul Epworth and Ben Allen (who produced several songs on A Different Kind of Fix) produced a song each. 

We could tell you more about the actual album but you'll have to wait until 20 October to hear for yourselves.  You can preorder it now on our website.

To make up for this very earnest post, please now go watch our new music video where Jack smokes a bong, Jamie pretends to shit himself, Suren lives out his childhood dream to be a TV weatherman, and Ed christens a portaloo. 

See you soon, BBC x
