Shinedown now teasing Jan. 21 date

While the first day of 2025 did not include new Shinedown music, we may not have to wait much longer.

As previously reported, the “Second Chance” rockers hinted that they might be announcing something on Jan. 1 in a December Instagram Story, which featured the date typed on an otherwise blank page.

When New Year’s Day arrived, Shinedown put up an Instagram post displaying the phrase “A lot can happen in a year…” without any other information. Now, they’ve posted another date on their Instagram Story: Jan. 21. 

Shinedown previously teased that they were working on a new album, writing in a November social media post that the upcoming record is “going to sound like everything.”

“We are doubling down on every style that has ever inspired us so that we may be fearless, and be the band that we set out to be from day one,” the band said. “That includes bending genres, flirting with soundscapes and personality, and above all pushing the envelope when it comes to creativity.”

Shinedown’s most recent album is 2022’s Planet Zero, which spawned the singles “A Symptom of Being Human,” “Dead Don’t Die,” “Daylight” and the title track.

Meanwhile, bassist Eric Bass is prepping his debut solo album, I Had a Name, due out Feb. 28.
