(There's absolutely a theme they're promoting with "sunrise"...)

Surprised I haven’t seen one yet from iheartradio in north america
I tried searching for listening parties in any other countries but nothing showed up - that's not to say they don't exist. Hopefully more will be announced today!
I’m curious where they’re going to take everyone. 9 hour round trip from London to the SE of England. My suspicion is maybe Stonehenge area? It’s the only place for sunrises!
My hubby said, ironic if it was Brighton 😂 go all the way up to London to come back down again.
I’ve entered even if this seems a little bit like a hostage situation.
Riding for hours on a bus only to step off and then…
”SIKE! Good luck getting home!”
I'm intrigued by this...no clue what takes 9 hours, is it a coach journey around Kent at night playing the new album on the tannoy?! wtf
I notice this is happening across the world too.
The Aussie one hints at a location on/near Darling Harbour with brekky provided - but the recurring theme is sunrise. The dawn of a new day.
Sunrises make me think of the Duran song and seems to fit..
Now the time has come (Has come), the music between us
Though the night seems young (Seems young), is at an end
Only change will bring (Will bring) you out of the darkness
In this moment everything (Everything) is born again
[Chorus]
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life
One of my favs.
Good luck everyone!! 🤞🏻
They're talking about it being filmed, I wonder if there's a documentary on the way?
Ooo! No one is going to look their best after a sleepless night 😂 hope they have a make-up team!
That’s the only reason why i’m not entering - that’s way too early to be emotionally ready to experience this new work, let alone be filmed having such visceral reactions. It was bad enough having a camera in my face at the LA tribute concert recording me sobbing my guts out!
Probably wise!
This intrigues me. Sony, who it appears organised through, did a listening party for Harry’s House and that’s the only other listening party I can find any info about - photos from that just show a room full of people inc him with headphones
Listening parties are very common - Sometimes they are really elaborate, sometimes you just sit in a room with a lyric booklet. Sometimes the artist shows up, sometimes they don't.
The BHWA one is a little more elaborate, but how can you thematically tie something in to an album that's just white? I suppose if there was a huge expanse of white in the South East of England they could Do very well to incorporate that.

Put on these headphones, stare at this cliff 😁
But you’d have to be on a boat…
Foo fighters tackling immigration by sending fans out to see
Did they mention they weren’t laying on flights back from Rawanda?
Ha! You guys are my fave!
Not that I saw but I’m sure the weather there right now is probably nice

Costa Rica: Can't find on site but promoted on their IG https://www.instagram.com/p/CsrabqORUX8/
So from what I’ve seen some of these sunrise listening parties have a location, Brits (ex- NI folks 😞 ) get to go on a magical mystery coach tour!
All together now “Are we there yet???” 😂
"But Here We Are" - the album title but also the thing the winners say when they finally get to wherever they're bloody going!
😂😂😂
ah good one 👏🏻
Anyone get lucky?
Not heard anything yet so guessing not?! Was there a timeframe for them to contact?
Just me then 😁
Welcome back. 👋🏼
