Blondie fans have reason to celebrate as the legendary band gears up for a major musical comeback. Co-founder and guitarist Chris Stein recently took to social media to confirm that Blondie is working on a brand-new album, set for release in 2025. This will be the band’s first full-length studio album since 2017’s Pollinator and marks a significant return to the studio for one of the most influential new wave and punk rock groups of all time.
Stein, who has been an integral part of Blondie’s sound since their early days in the 1970s, shared images of lead singer Debbie Harry recording new material, fueling excitement among longtime fans. While specific details about the album’s tracklist and overall direction remain under wraps, early reports suggest that the band is once again working with renowned producer John Congleton, known for his work with St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, and Angel Olsen. This collaboration hints at a fresh, modern sound while staying true to the band’s signature mix of punk, pop, and disco influences.
The upcoming album will add another chapter to Blondie’s storied career, which has spanned five decades and produced some of the most iconic hits in music history, including “Heart of Glass,” “Call Me,” “Rapture,” and “One Way or Another.” The band has continued to evolve over the years, proving their staying power in an industry that constantly changes.
Blondie has remained active on the live circuit, performing at major festivals, including Coachella 2023, and touring internationally. While no official tour announcement has been made in connection with the 2025 album, fans are hopeful that the new release will be accompanied by a series of live performances.
With Blondie set to make their mark once again, 2025 promises to be a thrilling year for both the band and their loyal listeners.
