Shinedown has announced a co-headlining tour with BUSH that will take place in Australia and New Zealand this September. The tour marks the band's first performances in the region in more than 15 years. The run begins at Auckland's Spark Arena on September 17, followed by shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. Key dates include Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on September 23 and Melbourne's John Cain Arena on September 25, with the tour concluding at Perth HPC on September 29. Tickets are now available.

The tour is part of Shinedown's 'Dance, Kid, Dance Act II' world tour, which continues after the Australia and New Zealand dates. The European leg begins on October 31 in Paris at the Zénith, with stops in Glasgow, London, and Manchester before concluding in Dublin on November 22. COHEED AND CAMBRIA will join the U.K. dates, with THOSE DAMN CROWS supporting across the entire European run.

The announcement follows the release of Shinedown's new album 'Ei8ht', available now via Atlantic Records. The album, produced by Eric Bass at Big Animal Studio in Charleston, explores themes of resilience, loss, hope, and human connection. The single 'Young Again' has reached No. 1 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart, extending the band's record for most chart-topping songs in the format's history.

The band's 2024 tour schedule reflects their continued global presence, building on their legacy of chart-topping success and emotionally resonant music. Shinedown is composed of Brent Smith (vocals), Zach Myers (guitar), Eric Bass (bass, production), and Barry Kerch (drums).
