AIR have never released a live album. After more than 25 years, that changes on April 18th, and they’ve chosen Record Store Day to make it happen. ‘Moon Safari, The Athens Concert’ is a limited-edition vinyl exclusive, recorded during the band’s Moon Safari Anniversary tour and pressed for independent record stores worldwide only.
The setting alone makes this release remarkable. Recorded on a warm night in Athens beneath the Acropolis, the duo performed inside one of the world’s oldest and most acoustically distinct theaters. The analog warmth AIR built their reputation on collides with that ancient architecture in ways a studio recording simply can’t replicate. It’s a genuinely rare combination.
The performance moves through the full ‘Moon Safari’ tracklist, from “La Femme d’Argent” to “Le Voyage de Penelope”, with new arrangements woven throughout. This isn’t a straight reproduction of the original album. AIR reimagined the material for the space and the moment, and the recordings capture that in full.
The Moon Safari Anniversary tour ran across 2024 and 2025, bringing the duo’s landmark debut back to stages around the world to a response that confirmed just how deeply that record has held up. ‘Moon Safari, The Athens Concert’ is the document that tour deserved.
It’s available April 18th, 2026, at indie record stores worldwide. Limited quantities. No second pressing has been announced.
