Perfume have announced an autumn release date for a new bonus edition of their album LEVEL3. The worldwide release in October will come just before the Japanese girl group make their US concert debut in early November. LEVEL3 was released in Japan last year, and the worldwide re-release will be via label Astralwerks.
“Perfume WORLD TOUR 3rd”, which will see the group perform in the United States for the first time, takes the trio one step closer to their stated ambition of “going global”. Although it’s a “global tour”, there are only five dates. The tour kicks off in Taiwan on October 31, followed by appearances in Singapore and the United Kingdom, before landing in the United States to play the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on November 9, and the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York on November 15.
EDM-focused label Astralwerks, which is parented by Universal, is based in New York and is home to Swedish House Mafia, The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim and Eric Prydz. On the revamped LEVEL3 (Bonus Edition), which will be released digitally on October 7 and on physical media later in the month, fans can look forward to two new remixes of the trio’s single ‘Spending All My Time’: one by Greek-Belgian electro DJ duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and a radio mix.
