Fresh off one of the most dominant years of their career, Shinedown entered their next global chapter riding unprecedented momentum. Over the past year, the multi-platinum band released four major songs, “Dance, Kid, Dance,” “Killing Fields,” “Three Six Five,” and the era-defining “Searchlight,”each reinforcing their position as one of the most powerful forces in modern music.

“Dance, Kid, Dance” and “Killing Fields” both reached #1 at rock radio, while “Three Six Five” became a global crossover hit, topping #1 at Alternative radio, landing Top 10 at Hot AC and AC, and breaking into the Top 20 at Top 40. In the process, Shinedown extended their record with the most #1 songs on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart history (with 21 #1’s) and Mediabase’s Active Rock Chart (with 23 #1’s), continuing a legacy built on consistency, ambition, and emotional connection.

Recently the band made history with “Searchlight,” as they debuted the track at the band’s Grand Ole Opry debut.  Frontman Brent Smith introduced the song by telling the audience: “Sometimes when you listen close enough to the universe and you’re willing to receive something from it- a song can come out of thin air. We didn’t find this one, it found us.”

The performance quickly became the most talked-about moment of the night, resonating deeply with fans and critics alike. Written by Brent Smith, Eric Bass, and Dave Bassett and produced by Eric Bass at Big Animal Studio, the song showcases Shinedown at their most expansive, blending rock with Americana, rhythm and blues, bluegrass, and outlaw country influences, while retaining the anthemic power that defines their sound.

Recently the band’s impact over the past year has also been recognized at the highest levels of the industry. Shinedown are nominated at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards for Rock Artist of the Year, Duo/Group of the Year, and Rock Song of the Year for “Dance, Kid, Dance.” These nominations follow a landmark showing at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, where the band won both Rock Artist of the Year and Rock Song of the Year for “A Symptom of Being Human,” marking the second consecutive year Shinedown have been recognized among the genre’s top honors.

Beyond the studio, Shinedown’s recent live milestones reflect their global scale. The band sold out Madison Square Garden for the first time during their Dance, Kid, Dance arena tour, a career-defining achievement that mirrored the explosive demand seen across the entire run. The tour also carried a meaningful philanthropic impact, raising $300,000 for Musicians On Call through a $1-per-ticket donation that helped launch a new bedside music program in partnership with HCA Florida Healthcare.

With chart-topping releases, historic first, major award recognitions and the long awaited EI8HT coming May 29th, Shinedown are kicking off 2026 with unmatched momentum. Be on the lookout for more coming from Shinedown soon!
