i am new in this subreddit but i have been listening to franz ferdinand for a while now. and seeing that this subreddit has only 2.3k contributors makes me wonder why there is so little content abt this band on social platforms despite them having 10M+ monthly listeners on spotify

Does anybody know if they are currently planning on selling updated posters for their upcoming states part of the tour? I'm going to the Buffalo show and I would die for one. Or how is the merch in general? Thanks so much! Very excited for this concert.

The Dallas show is now having a 2 for 1 special .
Do you think that they will cancel the show due to poor ticket sales? Are the other US dates ticket sales healthier ?

I bought a shirt on the Tour earlier this year (2026 tour, at one of the concerts in Germany) and it is sadly a very tight fit.

I'm wondering if anyone accidentally bought a shirt a size too big and is willing to trade it? I live in Germany, if you want to take shipping into account.

I have worn it, washed it a couple times but always inside out to preserve the print.

I am also willing to trade for other designs, just hit me up in DMs :]

During a lesson on ww1 while discussing franz ferdinad my teacher mentioned how "there's a Canadian band with the same name", google is telling me the band is Scottish. Does anyone know where the confusion on his part may have come from? This question has been bugging me for awhile.

Still my favourite track from the new album. Has any reason been given for why it hasn't been performed live?

Fastest purchase I’ve ever made lol

Hi. If you're selling a Saturday ticket to Osheaga please let me know!

Just curious what everyone thinks of this

I adore RT,RW,RA

Its in my top 3 favorite albums I've ever listened to, and I've noticed none of the songs from this have really gotten a lot of love.

So just curious what y'all think?

I rewatched 'Beck; mongolian chop squad', anime that follows 14 year old kid Koyuki as he learns to play guitar, makes friends & starts a band with them. There are many popular western bands references, especially on the shirts Koyuki wears, but I didn't expect to see Franz Ferdinand reference. Seems pretty cool to me

I'm excited :)

Hey everyone, I bought two tickets, plus fast passes to their show in Buffalo on 8/2, but I live in NYC, and there is no way I will be able to make it. I paid $130 for everything, but I am trying to find someone who would like to take it off my hands. Willing to sell for $85-$100?

It sounds so good?? The audio is so crisp, oh my god.

My grandpa had a record player lying around, and immediately after picking it up this afternoon, I went and bought my two very first vinyls! (This one and MCR's Danger Days)

It was a tough choose between You Could Have It So Much Better and The Human Fear - the latter is definitely next!

At 13:31

Mine is many. Take Me Out, Walk Away, This Boy, Your Diary, Right Action, This Fire, Darts of Pleasure, Lucid Dreams, Michael

Edit: okay I just found the full tracklist 😭 It was on Double J, I had been searching for YEARS. But the audio is gone unfortunately

Do you remember those weeks in Feb 2022 when Alex was a host on that radio station? Every week, for an hour or two. First week of Februrary was dedicated to "wtf moments", had songs like Take Me Out, another from Fleetwood Mac... Next week was dedicated to "couch jumpers", where he even played Colombian Cumbia lol. And so on.

I have put some of his songs that I remember, in a playlist :) So you get what I mean. But I can't remember which Françoise Hardy track he played on the third week, for example.

Pretty random, but yeah. Does anyone have a recording of any of those sessions? Or at least, a list of the songs he played? I remember listening to his commentaries before each song began... it was like being taken on an auditory trip. 🎑

Im still getting into Franz Ferdinand (new gen fan here) but I always find myself coming back to the Take Me Out music video. I love love LOVE the fact that it’s inspired off of the work of Terry Gilliam (my GOAT) and Monty Python is my hyperfixation. I can’t stop watching this vid, ITS SO GOOD!!!

Hello! I've been listening to Franz Ferdinand for about a year now and decided to buy some physical media from them. I've been looking at Ebay for the Do You Want To EP because it has a song I really like that doesn't even show up on the band's discography page on Wikipedia (Get Away).

Does anyone know if the EP ever released physically or anywhere where I can get Get Away physically? All I find on Ebay is the Do You Want To single. Thank you!
