German experimental band Can will release ‘Live in Arles 1975’ on 25 September 2026 via Mute and Spoon Records, marking the seventh installment in their archival live series. The double LP, CD, and digital release documents a summer 1975 performance at Théâtre Antique d’Arles in southern France, sourced from a fan tape featuring the classic four-member lineup of Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Michael Karoli, and Holger Czukay. The album contains six untitled instrumental improvisations, recorded during the post-Damo Suzuki vocal period when the group operated purely as an improvisational unit. Schmidt fondly recalled the concert’s atmosphere on that special summer evening. This release continues the band’s retrospective project overseen by Schmidt, the sole surviving founding member, adding another previously unreleased concert to Can’s growing catalog of archival materials.
