Shinedown Announces New Album Tour
Shinedown announced their eighth studio album 'EI8HT' and a 2026 world tour, with lead single 'Safe and Sound' already generating fan excitement. Frontman Brent Smith discussed personal loss and music's healing power in a recent interview, adding emotional depth to the band's latest work. The tour represents a major return for the alternative rock veterans following their previous album cycle.
- Their previous album, 2022's 'Planet Zero', was the band's seventh studio album and their first to top the all-genre Billboard Top Album Sales chart. Like their 2018 album 'ATTENTION ATTENTION', it was produced by the band's bassist, Eric Bass. - 'Planet Zero' was a concept album that explored themes of "growing toxic intolerance," the negative impacts of social media on mental health, political division, and cancel culture. The album's narrative involved a dystopian AI character named Cyren. - The band has a history of extensive touring. Their "The Revolution's Live Tour" spanned multiple legs across North America in 2022 and 2023, featuring a rotating lineup of special guests including The Pretty Reckless, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, and Spiritbox. - Shinedown holds the record for the most number-one singles on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts, with 21 chart-toppers to their name. The band has sold over 10 million records worldwide since their formation in 2001.
