Her website will also let you listen to the songs “Angels On The Balcony,” “Live it Up,” “In the Flesh,” and “A Shark in Jets Clothing.”

And, if you haven’t already done so, now is the time to get your Blondie tickets. She’s heading back to the U.S. on Aug. 4 to perform at The Fillmore in San Francisco. And she’s playing with the B-52s and Cheap Trick on various dates this summer, too! Check your local listings for more information.

The launching of the new site also announced the first installment for her 2010 tour!  As of now, the tour will kick off June 8th at Villa Marina, Isle of Man, UK.  Blondie be across the UK & Ireland until August. 

Her first show in the North America is scheduled for August 5th at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, Santa Rosa, CA.  The tour will continue on across the US & Canada, ending September 12th at the House of Blues in Boston, MA.  For a complete listing of dates, check out her official tour page.

In addition to hitting the road this year, Blondie is in the final production stages for her upcoming new album, “Panic of Girls.”  No release date has been reported, only that it is expected some time in spring.  Blondie has announced that Dutch artist Chris Berens will be creating the cover art.  You can view the completed artwork on Berens‘ official website. 

“Panic of Girls” has been in development for over a year and according to guitarist Chris, “the long period since the last record has certainly pushed it into its own space…”  Don’t miss your chance to see the live this summer! Blondie tickets are sure to be on the way.
