Multi-platinum rock powerhouse Shinedown just dropped massive news on February 17, 2026: their eighth studio album, cleverly titled EI8HT, arrives May 29 via Atlantic Records, and they’re hitting the road for the Dance, Kid, Dance Act II World Tour — a sprawling 50+ date run across 11 countries in North America and Europe. Fresh off recent singles like “Safe And Sound” (out now), the album builds on 2025 tracks including “Dance, Kid, Dance,” “Three Six Five,” “Killing Fields,” and “Searchlight.” Frontman Brent Smith called it a year-plus labor of love, pushing the band harder than ever alongside producer Eric Bass.
This tour picks up right where their previous Dance, Kid, Dance era left off, delivering high-energy arena and festival shows packed with classics (“Second Chance,” “Sound of Madness”) and new material. North American leg launches May 13, 2026, in Green Bay, WI, at Resch Center, with support from Coheed and Cambria, Black Stone Cherry, From Ashes to New, and DJ Rock Feed on select dates. It wraps headline runs in late August before festival stops and their Lunatic Ball Beach Weekend in Florida (Oct 23-25). Europe kicks off October 31 in Paris.
