2025 sees Penguin Cafe bringing the music of the legendary Penguin Cafe Orchestra back to life, with UK dates featuring a collection of PCO classics, celebrating the unique sound that has captivated audiences worldwide.

To coincide with this revival, six original PCO albums are being re-released on vinyl for the first time since their initial pressings, courtesy of [INTEGRAL] / Universal Music Recordings at the end of 2024 and will be available to buy at live shows.
