“We’re beyond excited to make our Opry debut,” exclaims guitarist Zach Myers. “Being a kid from Tennessee, most of my early memories were watching the Opry show every weekend with my grandmother and never considering standing on that legendary stage to even be an option. Now that it is, we couldn’t be happier to be a part of such a historical year of Opry history.”

Shinedown continues to dominate 2025, having recently made history (once again) as their latest single “Killing Fields” recently reached #1 on the Active Rock Mediabase Chart. This is a massive moment for the band as it solidifies their 23rd single at the format. This marks the third #1 for the band this year with their #1 at Alternative for “Three, Six, Five,” and two #1’s at Active Rock with “Dance, Kid, Dance” and now “Killing Fields.” In addition, it further solidifies their record of holding the most #1’s, Top 5’s and Top 10’s in history on the  Mediabase Active Rock Chart.

Fresh off their massive Dance, Kid, Dance arena tour, where they sold out Madison Square Garden and performed at some of the countries’ most iconic venues, including KIA Forum in Los Angeles, the band’s song “Three Six Five” also hit Top 20 at Top 40 radio. Shinedown is the only rock band currently on the Top 40 chart as “Three Six Five” continues to reach new audiences with its message of love and loss. The song has been charting at five radio formats after hitting #1 at Alternative, Top 10 at Hot AC & AC, #16 at Active Rock, all in addition to reaching Top 20 at Top 40 radio. Sitting alongside some of the world’s biggest pop artists, it’s a massive feat to not only hit new audiences with their music but to continue to innovate their sound and reach.

Recently the band posted a video of frontman Brent Smith introducing the song on tour where he asked the audience “Do me a favor, if you lost someone in your life that’s no longer on this planet anymore and you think about them every single day and say to yourself ‘I wish had one more day (with them), if I had one more minute,’ and they’re no longer on this planet I want you to raise your hand.” In an emotional moment, the band then turned on the house lights in the room, and you could see half of the arena had their hands up. The video and the moment resonated with so many people online, as the comments section of the video has over 30,000 comments and was filled with stories about loved ones they have lost. The video has nearly a million views and has had a similar reaction to the animated music video for the song, where the comment section was also filled with stories of grief and resilience.

This year has also come with some historic wins for the band as they recently took home two trophies at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, where they won Rock Artist of the Year and Rock Song of the Year for “A Symptom of Being Human.” The awards were in celebration of the banner year they’ve had as “A Symptom of Being Human” has hit nearly 125 million global streams and charted at five radio formats, including a #1 at Active, Top 10 at Alternative, Top 10 at AC, Top 15 at Hot AC, and a Top 20 at Top 40. The song, off of their Planet Zero album, resonated with fans across the globe for the unifying message of its lyrics: that it is our human connections that matter the most.
