I/O is a studio album by Peter Gabriel, released on December 1, 2023. It's Gabriel's first full-length album of new original material in over 21 years since 2002's Up, marking the longest gap between two studio albums in his solo career.
I/O had been in the works for nearly three decades, with its initial production dating back to 1995, at around the same time Gabriel began recording Up. He began planning the follow-up to Up as early as 2000 and had originally intended to release it in 2004, but the album was repeatedly delayed, reworked and re-recorded at seven recording studios (and one arena during soundchecks while on tour with Sting in 2016) before its completion in 2022. This was due to Gabriel focusing on other projects such as his two orchestral albums Scratch My Back (2010) and New Blood (2011), which contained covers of songs by other artists and rearrangements of his older material, respectively.
Starting on January 6, 2023, Gabriel has released a new single every full moon, eventually culminating in the album's release at the end of the year.
