A few moments from the Fountain of Youth Tour. Earlier this year, we returned to some of the places that shaped us and celebrated 20 years of Future Islands with so many familiar faces and friends. Looking back on these shows with a lot of love. Thanks to everyone who shared them with us.

The Cradle has been part of our lives since long before Future Islands began. We grew up going to shows there, saw so many bands that inspired us, and eventually got to stand on that stage ourselves.

Still thinking about all the shows, the memories and everyone who celebrated 20 years of Future Islands with us. Now that we've had a minute to take it all in. What's your favourite Future Islands memory from the past 20 years? 📸 Emilio Herce

A few beautiful moments from our final Fountain of Youth Tour show at Pier Six Pavillion in Baltimore, captured by our old friend Mark Brown. Mark booked some of our earliest Baltimore shows, so it feels especially meaningful to be sharing his photographs from that night.

Forever grateful to everyone at The Late Show — from David Letterman to Stephen Colbert. That stage changed our lives. The night after our first appearance in 2014, we played the Orange Peel in Asheville. Tonight, we’re back there again.

2026. 20 years of Future Islands. From house parties to stages around the world, thank you for being there with us through every era of this journey. We wouldn’t be here without you — and it honestly feels like we’re just getting started.

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

2025 started with a winter writing session in Baltimore — the first sparks of the next album slowly beginning to take shape. The months that followed were spent deep in touring behind People Who Aren’t There Anymore.

150

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

We began 2024 with the release of our seventh album, People Who Aren’t There Anymore. After the long stretch from the release of ALAYA through the lost touring years, this was the first time in a while that an album could fully live its life in the world — release, tour, and connection.

191

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Much of 2023 was spent touring in support of ALAYA, and by the end of the run, three years had passed since we’d released a full-length album. That fall, we mixed People Who Aren’t There Anymore and began making plans for a January 2024 release.

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Amongst the many shows we played that year, one that will always remain close to our hearts was our appearance on ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ where we debuted ‘King Of Sweden’. The energy in The Ed Sullivan Theatre was electric. This was one for the books! #FutureIslands20

0151

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

In 2022, the ALAYA tour continued through much of the year. In between runs, we’d slip into the studio whenever we could and begin shaping new material.

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

In 2019, finally home long enough to unpack our suitcases, we began sifting through the soundcheck jams and shaping new material. From those fragments came the first sparks of “Glada,” “Waking,” and “I Knew You.”

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

After releasing The Far Field in 2017, we spent most of 2018 on the road — tours, festivals, the whole run. Somewhere in there, we started recording soundcheck jams and saving ideas to come back to later.

1100

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

2017 was a blur! We released our fifth album The Far Field and spent most of the year on the road. Highlights included our second performance at Coachella and a four-night residency at The Ottobar. This is “Through the Roses” from our 2017 KEXP session.

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

We also spent 2016 celebrating 10 years of Future Islands. #FutureIslands20

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

2016. We began the year with a feature on Jools Holland 2015/2016 Annual Hootenanny, honored to perform alongside incredible guests, including Sir Tom Jones.

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

March 3, 2014. A day that changed everything for us — our performance of “Seasons” on @letterman.bsky.social An incredible experience, and a true turning point. Later that month, on March 24, we released our fourth album, Singles, on @4ad.com, and spent the rest of the year on the road.

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

2013. We celebrated the 10-year anniversary of our first band, Art Lord & the Self-Portraits, with a one-night-only show at Kings in Raleigh. While rehearsing for that night, we began working on new material that would become our fourth album, ”Singles.”

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

2012. Six years in as Future Islands, three albums released and hundreds of shows played. We started teasing new songs that year — when we first played Light House, it didn’t even have a title yet. #FutureIslands20

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

The first time we ever performed in the UK, at Barden's Boudoir on 4th February 2009. #FutureIslands20

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

2008. Two years into being Future Islands and the release of our debut album Wave Like Home. We crossed the country with EAR PWR, played Alaska, did a second U.S. run with Adventure, and wrapped the year as part of the Baltimore Round Robin tour that fall.

Future Islands @future-islands.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Whartscape 2007 — pulled from deep in the archives. This was before we made the move up to Baltimore, shortly after finishing Wave Like Home, and we played some of those songs live for the first time that afternoon. #FutureIslands20
