Shinedown hints at upcoming album with a focus on experimentation
tour, “What we’re looking forward to is seeing the audience and seeing the fans, and just playing the new music for everybody. But a lot of these buildings that we’re playing on this particular tour, we’ve never played them before, especially as a headliner, so that’s extremely exciting for us. The stage show that we’ve built, we’ve spent a lot of time on it. We really wanted to make sure, because this show was in all arenas, we developed it and designed it for that. There’s multiple stages, so that’s going to be super fun for the audience. There’s not a bad seat in the house. That was the objective when we started to build the design. And then also just being able to play with Bush and Beartooth, and having Morgan Wade on both legs of the tour is going to be super exciting. We’re just big fans of those artists. It’s going to be awesome.”
