“Fairytale of New York” is available now
Genre-bending multi-platinum rock superstars Good Charlotte unwrap their new holiday cover of the punk classic “Fairytale of New York” via Atlantic Records.
Legendary punk icons The Pogues originally dropped “Fairytale of New York” featuring Kirsty MacColl back in 1987. Nearly 40 years later, Good Charlotte pays homage to the classic while simultaneously making it their own by updating it with the signature GC sound.
“This has always been one of our favorite Christmas songs of all time!” Good Charlotte shares. “What a classic story – We have always wanted to do our own little version of it with our friends and family for years to come. We love Christmas and the holidays, so it was really fun to make another Christmas song to add to our favorite Christmas playlist – happy holidays from GC to you and yours!”
The band joins the star-studded lineup for ABC’s annual television special, The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular, with the first official performance of the track, set to air on December 1st and available to stream the following day on Hulu and Disney+.
Tonight (Fri, Nov 21st), they’re set to headline Neon City Festival in Las Vegas. Firing on all cylinders in the new year, the guys will kick things off with their first Los Angeles show in a decade at the iHeartRadio ALTer EGO on January 17th, followed by a massive headline tour in Australia and New Zealand. It commences on February 17th in Perth and sees them roll through Brisbane, Ascot, Sydney, and more. Plus, they’re set to grace the stages of Sonic Temple and Slam Dunk Festival.
Back in August, Good Charlotte returned with their first new album in seven years—the acclaimed Motel Du Cap. Among many highlights, “Rejects” notched their highest ranking entry on the Top 10 Alt Radio Singles Chart at No. 7.
