About

Multi- platinum, chart topping, and record breaking band Shinedown announce the release of not one but two singles “Three Six Five” and “Dance, Kid, Dance” today via Atlantic Records. Releasing not only two singles to kick off 2025, the band are also celebrating their US tour “Dance, Kid, Dance” which goes on sale today.

Listen to Shinedown’s “Three Six Five” and “Dance, Kid, Dance” HERE.

Speaking on the two new songs and the “Dance, Kid, Dance” tour frontman Brent Smith said: “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 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 honors 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 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) but Morgan Wade on all shows. See full tour dates below and at www.shinedown.com.
