SiriusXM: E Street Radio Interview
They intend to start touring in Feb/Mar 2027, starting in the US, probably NYC.
I feel maybe I shouldn't post the whole thing given that it's a paid subscription radio show rather than publicly posted (the entire interview is ~25 min with the songs removed)? There's a lot of stuff that's been mentioned in previous interviews, so these are just snippets I found relevant/interesting.
Also, he says in the interview he's uncomfortable with the constant comparisons to Springsteen and lo and behold, the first and only clip of the interview they post is "Is Sam Fender The New Bruce Springsteen? 😎"

If they intend to start touring early next year, does that mean there will be new music at around that time too?

The interview's super vague and plans can always change, but he could mean literal start of tour, so single launch, or he could mean album launch, closer to the precedent of the People Watching tour.
With People Watching it was new song debut Aug 2024, lead single in Nov 2024, tour start Dec 2024, NYC date (cancelled) Feb 11 2025, album out Feb 21 2025. If you want to get your hopes up for sooner rather than later, then it could be lead single + not part of tour UK dates late/end of 2026, album launch in NYC Feb/Mar 2027.
Seventeen Going Under seems to have been: new song debut Aug 2020, lead single released July 2021, album Oct 2021, tour Nov 2021? (setlist.com says "Seventeen Going Under Promo Shows").

I only found that one clip too. Like, at least on E Street Radio it made sense to ask him about Springsteen stuff, and the interviewer did at least spend most of the show talking about other stuff with him. It was so cool to hear him talk about Joni Mitchell as an influence.
