Audiences now know the track listing for the upcoming Gang of Four tribute record The Problem of Leisure: A Celebration of Andy Gill and Gang of Four.

The record, which is scheduled for release in May, will feature performances from a who’s who of the rock community. Artists and acts, such as Gary Numan (whose new album Intruder is scheduled for release in May), the Dandy Warhols, and Killing Joke are all listed on the track listing for the 2LP vinyl set. Pre-orders for the compilation are open.

Serj Tankian (System of a Down) and Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, Prophets of Rage) premiered the compilation’s lead single last week, a cover of Group of Four’s hit single ‘Natural’s Not In It.’

Prior to his passing last year, Gill had envisioned the new compilation record as a celebration marking 40 years since the release of Entertainment! Following his death, that changed, and artists instead opted to lay out the compilation’s body with works that represented much more of Gang of Four’s catalog, according to Gill’s widow Catherine Mayer.

Mayer said in her comments, that Gill approved of the changes.

“Andy was massively excited about this project,”said Mayer. “It wasn’t of course conceived as a tribute album, but it’s comforting to me that he lived to see artists he hugely admired enthusiastically agreeing to participate, signaling that the admiration was mutual.”
