Phoebe Bridgers has announced her first solo album in six years, Lost Weekend, marking a fully-fledged return following her recent work as part of the supergroup Boygenius alongside Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker. The album, a follow-up to her acclaimed 2020 record Punisher, arrived after a run of surprise pop-up shows and a short-notice headline performance at Madison Square Garden, which built anticipation ahead of the wider comeback confirmed by the accompanying tour announcement.
Lost Weekend is set for release on 14 August via Dead Oceans and comprises 16 tracks, including lead single "Lost Boys".

How this story developed
- 4 months ago Phoebe Bridgers has announced Lost Weekend, her first solo album in six years, due out 14 August via Dead Oceans with 16 tracks including lead single "Lost Boys", alongside a phone-free Lost Tour set to begin a month after release with support from Alex G in North America and Isaac Wood in Europe.
Explained simply
Phoebe Bridgers is a US singer-songwriter known for introspective, often melancholy indie folk and rock songs. She built her solo reputation with albums including 2020's Punisher, before spending recent years focused on Boygenius, a trio she formed with fellow musicians Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker.
Lost Weekend is Bridgers's first solo album since Punisher, ending a six-year gap in which fans had only Boygenius material and scattered guest appearances to go on. It follows a string of unannounced pop-up shows and a surprise headline set at New York's Madison Square Garden, which had already signalled that a new phase of her career was likely imminent.
The album is being released through the independent label Dead Oceans, and its announcement comes bundled with details of a supporting tour. This matters to fans partly because Punisher was widely praised and helped make Bridgers one of the most closely watched artists in contemporary indie music, so a new solo record carries expectations built up over several years.
