Speaking on the two new songs and the Dance, Kid, Dance tour, frontman Brent Smith comments, “We needed to approach everything different this time… The last two albums were both conceptual so it was important for us to really ask ourselves creatively where do we want to go. The answer to that was we want to go everywhere so there was no specific direction. We just started writing, and let the new songs guide us. I also think we stopped saying “why” and started saying “why not?.” When we were thinking about touring, we had certain artists in mind. Instead of being of the mindset that they wouldn’t want to come out to tour with us, we just asked them — and they said yes. Honestly, it’s quite humbling, we are extremely excited for this new chapter, and tour. So let’s go!!!!

The two new singles embody the many multifaceted talents of the Shinedown: One part rock ‘n’ roll dynamism and one part incredible songwriting and passion. “Dance, Kid, Dance” hits hard right out of the gate with incredibly heavy guitars and a tempo that just doesn’t quit. It’s part social commentary and part “don’t overthink it, let’s just rock out and let’s dance!” The song pushes boundaries and is a reminder of why Shinedown hold the record for the most #1 songs at U.S. Active Rock Radio of all time with “Dance, Kid, Dance.”

“Three Six Five” is an example of the band’s ability to tackle the tough subjects through impeccable songwriting. Anyone who has ever experienced loss knows that every day we draw breath is an opportunity to live out loud – to live for those we have lost. At its core “Three Six Five” is a reminder to stop wasting time and focus on the moments we have right now and treasure time with the ones you love the most. The song honours the people in our lives who aren’t with us anymore. It reminds us to stop taking time for granted, because it’s not promised. Take chances, be bold, and don’t sweat the small stuff, because as the song says: a lot can happen in a year. “Even though I said all the things that mattered most, while I held on tight to the end of the rope, I could keep you close, but I couldn’t keep you here, a lot can happen in a year.”

Brent Smith and Eric Bass (bass) co-wrote “Three Six Five” and “Dance, Kid, Dance” was co-written by Brent Smith, Eric Bass & Dave Bassett. The songs were produced by Eric Bass at his own Big Animal Studio in Charleston, South Carolina.

In celebration of the new songs for 2025 the “Dance, Kid, Dance” tour kicks off on April 25th in Des Moines, IA and will be one of the band’s largest U.S. tours ever. The 35 date run will hit some of the country’s most iconic venues including New York’s Madison Square Garden (July 20th), Boston’s TD Garden (July 19th) and Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (May 10th) and more! Joining them on the tour are Beartooth & Bush (on select dates) with Morgan Wade on all shows. See full tour dates below and at www.shinedown.com.

Shinedown has teamed up with Musicians On Call and will be donating $1 for every ticket sold for the tour.

In addition, this week Shinedown was nominated for numerous iHeartRadio Music Awards including Rock Song of the Year for “A Symptom of Being Human,” Rock Artist of the Year, and Sanjay Parikh was nominated for Favourite Tour Photographer for Shinedown. The new nods bring the band to a total of 13 iHeartRadio Music Awards since the band’s inception with no sign of slowing down!

Shinedown continues to demonstrate that they are one of the most forward-thinking powerhouses in music, forever pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a modern-day rock band. The tour & new music not only kick off a new era for Shinedown but continues to celebrate the momentous acclaim the band received from their juggernaut song “A Symptom of Being Human” off their 7th studio album Planet Zero (Atlantic Records). The song, which has racked up over 100 million streams and counting, crossed over not only to U.S. Alternative but U.S. Top 40 radio and resonated with fans across the globe for the unifying message of its lyrics: that it is our human connections that matter the most.
