Alabama Shakes haven't released an album in a decade, but the band has done a number of shows and will do a bunch more in 2026. The positive part for fans is that Brittany Howard and her friends signed to Island in 2025, so that might mean a new record will be coming soon.
One thing to watch for is how many new songs the band tries out on their run of 2026 shows. If there are several unfamiliar tracks, that could be a great sign that Alabama Shakes is getting back to full business and working on a new record, too.
While fans will need to wait on that news, we do know when the band will be playing next year. The run of shows begins in April in the United States and continues until late May. The group had already announced it would be playing at Bonnaroo in June, followed by concerts in Europe.
Alabama Shakes announce a run of 2026 tour dates
If you are a Zach Bryan fan as well, you are in luck. Alabama Shakes will open for him once in late May and once in September.
Presale tickets for the Alabama Shakes will begin on Monday, December 15, for Citi card members, Wednesday, December 16, with an artist presale, and to the general public on Friday, December 19, at 10 am local time. In other words, just in time to get a Christmas gift for someone.
