Alter Bridge – return with their self-titled 8th album; announce 31-date European tour too include a Dublin date

With more than two decades performing together, acclaimed rockers Alter Bridge show no signs of slowing down. Known for their memorable riffs, infectious vocal melodies and duelling guitar attack, the quartet comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark Tremonti on guitars/vocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums have garnered themselves massive critical and fan acclaim around the globe.

The band looks to continue that trend when they release their self-titled, eighth studio album next year via Napalm Records. Alter Bridge will be released on January 9, 2026.

Alter Bridge is comprised of 12 all new tracks from the band and features some of their most iconic moments on record. Songs like “Rue The Day,” “Disregarded” and “Scales Are Falling” will fit alongside any of the classic songs from Alter Bridge’s catalogue. “Trust In Me” shows Myles and Mark sharing vocal duties as Myles handles the verse duties while Mark takes the chorus. That strategy is flipped on “Tested And Able” as Mark handles the verses and Myles takes on the choruses behind one of the band’s heaviest intros to date, giving way to an unforgettable melody. “Hang By A Thread” is sure to become a show favourite as it hints at some of the most popular songs in the band’s catalogue. The album closer “Slave To Master” is the type of epic track that Alter Bridge has come to be known for and is the longest song the quartet has recorded to date. The band worked with longtime collaborator and producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette on their eighth album. Alter Bridge was recorded over 2 months this spring in the legendary 5150 studio in California and Elvis’ recording studio in Florida.

1)  Silent Divide (5:06)

To coincide with the announcement of the new album, Alter Bridge will be touring in support of the release. The band is heading out on the What Lies Within Tour. The 31-date tour of Europe will kick off on January 15th in Germany before it wraps on March 5th in Nottingham, UK. Joining the band on the tour will be Daughtry and Sevendust. Public on sale for all shows is July 18th. More information on all tickets and VIP packages for the upcoming tour can be found at www.alterbridge.com.

Alter Bridge will be reuniting for one show in 2025. The band will be doing a rare acoustic show on October 1st in Nashville, TN to support the Tremonti Family Charity Golf Outing. The outing is a benefit started by guitarist Mark Tremonti to support the National Down Syndrome Society – an organisation close to Mark after his daughter Stella was born with Down syndrome. The event will raise money for NDSS – an organisation that engages grassroots advocates at the federal, state, and local levels and creates resources to support individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and caregivers across the lifespan on topics including education, employment, health and wellness, and aging. Also performing will be Mammoth and Tremonti Sings Sinatra. Tickets for the event can be purchased at: https://charity.pledgeit.org/rockforeDownsyndrome.
