Ahead of the release of highly-anticipated new material next year, American hard rock outfit Breaking Benjamin have announced two Irish shows for next summer, with very special guest Chevelle. Breaking Benjamin will play The Telegraph Building, Belfast on 13th July and The National Stadium, Dublin on 14th July 2026.
Consistently dominating the rock charts since their debut in 2002 with “Saturate”, Breaking Benjamin has accumulated ten #1 hits, platinum and multi-platinum albums, 8.5 billion streams globally, and a social following of over 6.5 million, they’ve solidified their global influence and devoted fan base. The past release, “AURORA,” earned them their 10th #1 rock radio hit with “Far Away”. Their previous album, EMBER debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200, marking their fourth Top 5 debut. Their track record includes #1 hits like “Red Cold River” and “Torn in Two.” Both AURORA and EMBER achieved Top 10 status in multiple countries and #1 spots across various charts, including Top Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums and Top Digital Albums.
In October, after announcing their recent signing to BMG, Breaking Benjamin released their anthemic new track “Awaken”, which marked their first single in five years.
“Working on this song has been something new and exciting for all of us I believe” guitarist Jasen Rauch adds and continues “We’ve been able to explore more of who we are traditionally, while at the same time push boundaries and try things we haven’t done in the past. Musically we’ve tried hard to stay true to what Breaking Benjamin is, but offer a new take as well
