Halestorm And Lindsey Stirling Announce 2025 nEVEREST US Tour
Halestorm, the GRAMMY-winning band initially formed by siblings Lzzy and Arejay Hale with guitarist Joe Hottinger and bassist Josh Smith, released Everest, their sixth studio album, on August 8 via Atlantic Records. The band also announced their “nEVEREST” US tour this fall, alongside Lindsey Stirling and Apocalyptica. Tickets are available HERE.
Produced by GRAMMY Award–winner Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell), the new album dives deep both lyrically and sonically, chronicling the band’s mountainous rise over the past two decades.
“Our album Everest is a story of our journey as a band, full of beautiful endings and new beginnings,” says Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale. “We weave a tangled web of melancholy, frustration, anger and the vast purgatory of love and love lost. It is a rollercoaster of epic musical detours, great songwriting and completely unhinged twists and turns. Everest is an auditory representation of the 4 pillars of Halestorm. Let us reintroduce ourselves and invite you into our world…if you dare.”
Rolling Stone said of “Darkness Always Wins”: “What the song has going for is its catchy, brooding, and dramatic in all the ways we love Halestorm songs to be”, while Revolver noted: “The arrangement remains lean even as the amps begin to crank into the red, though ‘Darkness Always Wins’ still sports some exquisite minor-key melodicism, a metal-chunked bridge, loud-as-hell requiem bells and a classically rippin’ rock guitar solo.”
Already making waves on Active Rock radio, “Darkness Always Wins” was quickly named the Greatest Gainer thanks to strong early airplay.
The “nEVEREST” tour follows a series of memorable performances, including opening for Iron Maiden in Europe, sharing the stage with Volbeat in the U.S., and appearing at Black Sabbath’s final show in Birmingham, England. The full list of upcoming dates can be found below.

What started as a childhood dream of Lzzy and Arejay Hale, Halestorm has scored seven #1 hits at rock radio, and their music has surpassed one billion streams across platforms worldwide. They’ve received two GRAMMY nominations and won in 2012 for “Love Bites (So Do I)” as Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. The band has built a reputation for their dominating live performances and has shared the stage with rock icons like Heaven & Hell, Alice Cooper, and Joan Jett.
