Alabama Shakes Reunite for 2025 Tour and Tease New Music
After a surprise reunion set in December, Grammy-winning band Alabama Shakes has officially announced their first tour since 2017—and they’re bringing new music with them. The North American tour will kick off in summer 2025, featuring support from artists like Sam Evian, El Michels Affair, Shannon & the Clams, and Lee Fields.
Brittany Howard on the Reunion and New Material
In a press statement, lead vocalist Brittany Howard expressed her excitement about getting back together with bassist Zac Cockrell and drummer Steve Johnson:
“Last year, Heath, Zac, and I started chatting about how much fun it would be to make music together and tour again as Alabama Shakes. This band and these songs have been such a source of joy for all of us.”
She acknowledged the long gap since their last album and tour but emphasized that this reunion isn’t just about nostalgia:
“It is crazy that it has been 10 years since we released Sound & Color and eight years since we played a show. But we didn’t want this to entirely be a look back. We wanted it to be as much about the future as the past. So we have a bunch of new music that will be released soon.”
According to a press release, the band is currently working on new material with producer Shawn Everett, the mastermind behind Sound & Color.
A Long-Awaited Return
Since Alabama Shakes’ last album in 2015, Brittany Howard has pursued a successful solo career, releasing two albums: Jaime and What Now. However, fans have eagerly awaited a full band reunion—and now, the wait is over.
