The The's 2018 tour to be documented in a new package

One of The The's first performances in 16 years has become a live album, film and book titled 
The Comeback Special and due out Oct. 1.

Leader Matt Johnson’s London-based CinĂ©ola label has teamed up with Hamburg-based international rock and pop label earMUSIC for a series of exciting and exclusive releases.

To complete The Comeback Special experience, The The will also be launching a variety of exquisitely designed and exclusive products, all available in the official album store soon. This includes a 136-page Art Book, featuring 6 discs, exclusive photos and audio content plus director Tim Pope’s unobtrusive film of the show.

“Sweet Bird Of Truth” is now also available as a single release on all streaming and download services: https://TheThe.lnk.to/SweetBirdOfTruth

The Royal Albert Hall concert was the first of a trio of London shows during The Comeback Special tour—the others taking place at Brixton Academy and The Troxy—all of which sold out within minutes of going on sale.

Performing live for the first time in 16 years with a headline appearance at Denmark’s Heartland Festival a few days before the Royal Albert Hall concert, this lineup of The The featured previous members James Eller on bass, DC Collard on keyboards and Earl Harvin on drums and new member Barrie Cadogan on guitar alongside Matt Johnson. They would go on to play sold-out shows and make festival headline appearances across the globe including North America throughout 2018.
