Going strong for over 2 decades, Alter Bridge are gearing up for a massive 2026. The hard rock heavyweights have just announced their European headline tour: “What Lies Within”, bringing along rock giants Daughtry and Sevendust.

The tour announcement comes alongside news of their highly anticipated eighth studio album – “Alter Bridge“, due out January 9, 2026 via Napalm Records.

Pre-orders here.

Recorded earlier this year across the iconic 5150 Studios in California and producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette’s studio in Florida, the album promises to deliver everything fans love. From crushing riffs, soaring melodies,to those signature dual vocal/guitar attack from Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti.

The new record features 12 brand new tracks, including standouts like Rue The Day, Disregarded, and Scales Are Falling, which feel right at home among the band’s classic cuts. Tracks like Trust In Me and Tested And Able see Myles and Mark swapping vocal duties, offering a fresh twist on their already dynamic sound. Meanwhile, Hang By A Thread is destined to become a live anthem, and the closer Slave To Master, which is their longest track to date to brings things to an epic conclusion.

Alongside their new album, Alter Bridge have are hitting the road early next year for the What Lies Within Tour. The 31-date European run kicks off January 15 in Germany and wraps up on March 5 in Nottingham, UK.

They’ll be joined by Daughtry and Sevendust for the entire tour, making it a powerhouse lineup fans won’t want to miss.
