Blondie announce High Noon, their first album in nearly a decade, for February 2027

The band's first record since 2017's Pollinator features Johnny Marr, Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock and Beirut's Zach Condon, and is the last to include drummer Clem Burke.

Blondie will release a new album, High Noon, on 26 February 2027 via BMG, their first since 2017's Pollinator. Debbie Harry and Chris Stein have recruited Johnny Marr, Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols and Zach Condon of Beirut, among others, as guests, according to Pitchfork's report.

A single, 'Spectral Eyes', is out now. Pitchfork reports that Marr wrote the song and plays on it.

The last record with Clem Burke

High Noon is the final Blondie album to feature co-founding drummer Clem Burke, who died at 70 last year. Pitchfork describes the band as new-wave titans, and Burke's playing on the record will matter to anyone who has followed the group since their early years.

What the band have said

In a press release quoted by Pitchfork, Harry described the record as "an amalgamation of all our different influences and eras into something new". Stein, in the same release, said: "It's been a long, strange ride, and somehow here we are with another Blondie album."

Between records

High Noon follows Pollinator, and Pitchfork notes interim releases including an archival box set and Vivir en la Habana, the accompaniment to a live film of the same name. David Wrench is credited with additional production and mixing on the new album.

Tracklist

The thirteen-track album runs as follows:

1. Spectral Eyes 2. Heartbreak Kid 3. Come Back Home 4. Tambo Tambo 5. Man Who Had No Face 6. The End 7. Little Metal Drummer 8. Sleepwalking 9. Whistle Into the Wind 10. Antifreeze 11. East of Eden 12. Bad Underwear 13. Ah, Sunflower, Weary of Time

Only one track, 'Spectral Eyes', has been made public so far, so how the other guests are used across the album is not yet known. The source material does not detail which songs feature Matlock or Condon.

The report was published by Pitchfork on 15 October 2026.
