The Zombies Announce New Album And Spring 2020 Tour

• The Zombies announced a spring tour for 2020 with several locations already confirmed
• Keyboardist Rod Ardent also confirmed that the band is working on a new album, their first since 2015
• These announcements come after a long wait for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame despite being eligible since 1989

2020 is proving to be a great year for music. Several bands have released new content or have promising new tracks planned. Recently, the Zombies contributed some exciting news to music lovers. Doubly so, in fact. Not only will they have a spring tour for 2020, but they also confirmed they’re working on a new album.

This will be their first new album since Still Got That Hunger. In the meantime, they have many other popular tracks already circulating that fans still love listening to. Rolling Stone pays particular attention to “Time of the Season.” The Zombies actually enjoy playing it as much as listeners love hearing it, so expect a lot of that song in the coming months.

The Zombies are finally part of an elite group

In 2019, the Zombies became part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. To be included in this prestigious group, artists need to produce music that leaves a significant cultural impact. They also need to wait several years, since determining said cultural impact requires some decades to assess.

“Time of the Season” placed No. one on the U.S. single charts 51 years ago. When it first came out, the hip, trippy, psychedelic song became emblematic of the ’60s as a whole. Rod Argent still remembers it with great fondness from his role as the keyboardist. “Unbelievably, it’s a song that feels just as much a joy to play now as it did all those years ago,” he assured.
