Yeah Yeah Yeahs Release Live Album

Yeah Yeah Yeahs have released a live album, Hidden in Pieces Live at the Royal Albert Hall, recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall during their 2025 Hidden in Pieces Tour. The album is available digitally now, with a physical version and digital deluxe edition to be released on October 23.

The live album features 13 songs, and a 22-minute visual companion piece directed by Barnaby Clay. The visual companion piece will be screened in select venues in the U.K., Australia, Japan, and the U.S.

The band worked on the live arrangements in February 2025 at Sonic Ranch. According to Karen O, the album was born out of a need to commune with the band and fan family in 2025, after the election. The band's last studio release was the 2022 album Cool It Down.

## What's Next The physical version of the album will be released on October 23, along with a digital deluxe edition. The band's live performances on this tour were described as extraordinarily vulnerable, and they hope that this translates to the live album.

## Background The live album was recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall, a venue that the band had never performed at before. The band felt a sense of excitement and nervousness leading up to the performance, but ultimately felt that the show clicked into place. The performance features a pipe organ moment in the song 'Skeletons', which was described as immaculate vibrations.

The release of the live album marks a new chapter for the band, who have been together for over two decades. With their unique sound and energetic live performances, Yeah Yeah Yeahs continue to be a beloved and respected band in the music industry.
