Alter Bridge announces self-titled album, 2026 European dates

The band’s new album will drop in January 2026, followed by a lengthy tour

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 dueling 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, has garnered massive critical and fan acclaim around the globe. The band looks to continue that trend when they release their self-titled, eighth studio album, Alter Bridge, set for January 9, 2026, via Napalm Records.

Alter Bridge is comprised of 12 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 catalog. “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 favorite as it hints at some of the most popular songs in the band’s catalog. The album closer “Slave To Master” is an 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.

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.

All tickets on sale on Friday, July 18th.

Alter Bridge will be reuniting for one show in 2025. The band will be doing a rare acoustic show on October 1st in Nashville 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 organization close to Mark after his daughter Stella was born with Down syndrome. The event will raise money for NDSS – an organization 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.
