Shinedown Announces 2025 Dance, Kid, Dance Tour With Support From BUSH And Beartooth

Multi-platinum, chart-topping band Shinedown has announced their highly anticipated upcoming Dance, Kid, Dance Tour. Co-produced by FPC Live and Live Nation, the Dance, Kid, Dance Tour kicks off on April 25th in Des Moines, IA making stops across the U.S. in Nashville, New York and more before wrapping up in Memphis, TN on August 30th. The 30+-city trek will feature special guest Beartooth on the spring dates and legendary band BUSH on the summer dates with Morgan Wade opening all shows.
Fans can expect megawatt sets from all acts including fan-favorite hits and classics. In addition, Shinedown has teamed up with Musicians On Call, donating $1 for every ticket sold on the tour. Musicians On Call, the nation’s leading provider of live music in hospitals, has delivered the healing power of music to patients, families, and caregivers for 25 years.
Shinedown continues to demonstrate that they are one of the most forward-thinking powerhouses in music, forever pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a modern-day rock band. The tour not only kicks off a new era for Shinedown but continues to celebrate the momentous acclaim the band received from their juggernaut song “A Symptom of Being Human” off their 7th studio album Planet Zero (Atlantic Records). The song, which has reached over 100 million streams and counting, crossed over not only to Alternative but Top 40 radio and resonated with fans across the globe for the unifying message of its lyrics: that it is our human connections that matter the most. Recently the band announced two brand new singles will be released on Friday, January 24th: “Three Six Five,” and “Dance, Kid, Dance,” getting fans even more excited for all things Shinedown in 2025.
Coming off their hottest tour in 15 years, GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-Platinum band BUSH will join Shinedown on the summer leg of the Dance, Kid, Dance Tour. The band recently released Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023 (Round Hill Records), a 21-track retrospective celebrating nearly three decades of hits, including “Everything Zen,” “Glycerine,” “Swallowed,” and their latest single, “Nowhere To Go But Everywhere.”
Beartooth has solidified their place as a powerhouse in rock, with their latest album The Surface debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Alternative and Hard Rock charts and earning top spots in Current Album Sales and Vinyl. With multiple #1 hits like “Might Love Myself” and “I Was Alive,” as well as a Platinum certification for their breakout single “In Between,” they continue to dominate rock radio, ranking as the 8th most-played artist and landing “I Was Alive” as the #6 most-played song.
An ACM, AMA, and CMT Awards nominee, Morgan Wade has earned acclaim from the The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR, Garden & Gun, Billboard, No Depression, Vulture, and more. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Wade’s latest album Obsessed puts the focus on her storytelling abilities and singular voice. She writes with incredible force about the ache for home and the emotion of being reunited with loved ones, of feeling dangerously preoccupied with someone, and of being in situations that society might consider outside the norm. Produced by her touring guitarist Clint Wells, Obsessed is an entirely self-written, stripped-down 14-track collection that showcases Wade at her rawest and most vulnerable. She recently toured with Alanis Morissette and Joan Jett on the TRIPLE MOON TOUR and has hit the road with Eric Church, Chris Stapleton, and Lucero, among others.

Young Miko Announces the ‘Late Checkout Tour’
GRAMMY®-nominated global artist Young Miko announces her “Late Checkout Tour.” The 31-date tour will span 11 countries, marking her most ambitious tour to date, the first time Young Miko will embark on an arena tour, and aligning with the defining moment she is experiencing in her career. Promoted by Live Nation, the tour kicks off July 3 at Roskilde Festival in Denmark, launching a European festival run before she heads to Mexico for a major stretch in September. From there, she will close out the year across key U.S. markets including Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Orlando, New York, and Los Angeles, marking her most expansive international routing to date. See full routing and ticketing information below.
The announcement arrives at a time when Young Miko has firmly established herself at the forefront of global music. Her sophomore album “Do Not Disturb” debuted at No. 3 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut USA and No. 4 globally, while also landing on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart. Standout track “WASSUP” achieved global viral success and earned a spot on prestigious year-end lists, including Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Songs of 2025, while “Likey Likey” continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. That growing cultural impact was further recognized at the 37th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, where she was honored with Outstanding Music Artist.
Fans first got a taste of Young Miko’s arena presence last year when she joined Billie Eilish’s HIT ME HARD AND SOFT TOUR as an opening act for eight select dates in key markets including Orlando, Philadelphia, and New York. Shortly after, she made her arena headlining debut in her native Puerto Rico, announcing her first-ever headline show at the iconic Coliseo de Puerto Rico. The show sold out in just 90 minutes, leading to a second date being added, with both nights selling out. Beyond music, she has expanded her cultural impact in meaningful ways, most recently partnering with GAP for the brand’s “Sweats Like This” campaign. As the face of its first-ever Spanish-language campaign and the first openly queer Latina to star in a GAP campaign. With each milestone, Young Miko continues to shape the sound, style, and direction of a new generation, solidifying her role as one of the most influential voices in global music today.
