New drops and tour noise

A recent social roundup highlighted several fresh music moments — Enter Shikari’s surprise album, a new Lady Gaga single, and circulating tour rumors involving Bring Me the Horizon, My Chemical Romance, and System Of A Down. (x.com) The thread itself became a shorthand for fans griping about how many releases and ticket campaigns are colliding this season. (x.com)

Fans spent the weekend trying to keep up with a pileup of music news: Enter Shikari surprise-released an album on April 10, and Lady Gaga and Doechii dropped a new single the same day. (entershikari.com) (universalmusic.ca) Enter Shikari said *Lose Your Self* arrived with “no lead up, no singles,” and the band’s official post lists 12 tracks and a release date of April 10, 2026. The album came out through So Recordings and Ambush Reality, with CD, vinyl, cassette and merch formats going on sale alongside it. (entershikari.com) Rou Reynolds said the band wanted listeners to hear the record “as a cohesive whole” and avoid “chart races” after their last album reached No. 1. Enter Shikari also tied the release to three intimate United Kingdom shows with record-store partners later in April. (entershikari.com) Lady Gaga and Doechii’s “Runway” was released on April 10 as the first song unveiled from *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, according to Universal Music Canada. The label said the track was teased earlier in the week in the film’s final trailer. (universalmusic.ca) That put a rock surprise drop and a pop soundtrack launch on the same Friday, while major touring acts were already selling tickets for spring and summer dates. Bring Me the Horizon’s official site lists a North American run from April 23 in Los Angeles through May 16 in Columbus, plus European festival and arena dates in June, July and August. (bmthofficial.com) My Chemical Romance’s official homepage is also advertising “The Black Parade 2026 Stadium Tour,” with dates including May 10 in Daytona Beach, May 14 in Columbus and June 30 in Liverpool. Their news page separately spent 2025 promoting a deluxe reissue of *Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge* while pointing fans to the band’s stadium run. (mychemicalromance.com 1) (mychemicalromance.com 2) System Of A Down’s official site is currently routing fans to tour updates, and Live Nation lists 2026 dates including April 25 at Sick New World in Las Vegas, two Mexico City shows in May, and European stadium dates from June 29 in Stockholm through July 19 in Warsaw. Live Nation’s Sick New World announcement also names Bring Me the Horizon on that April 25 festival bill. (systemofadown.com) (livenation.com) (newsroom.livenation.com) Some of the “tour noise” online appears to be less about unannounced joint tours than about overlapping schedules, festival lineups and simultaneous on-sales. As of April 12, 2026, the official band sites reviewed here show active 2026 dates for all three acts, but they do not show a shared Bring Me the Horizon, My Chemical Romance and System Of A Down tour package. (bmthofficial.com) (mychemicalromance.com) (systemofadown.com) That helps explain why one social roundup traveled so fast: it captured a week when a surprise album, a soundtrack single and several big-ticket campaigns all landed in the same fan feeds at once. The result was less one announcement than a crowded release calendar hitting the same audience on the same days. (entershikari.com) (universalmusic.ca) (bmthofficial.com)
