“We have such great memories of touring in the summer. The vibe for us and for the fans is something that we’ve all really connected with and had a good time with over the history of The Fray,” Wysocki says. “Getting these new songs in front of people is going to be exciting.
The tour supports The Fray’s upcoming album, A Light That Waits, arriving March 13. The record marks the band’s first full-length release in years and ushers in a renewed creative chapter defined by emotional clarity, cinematic songwriting, and the timeless sound that has connected The Fray to fans around the world for more than two decades. The album’s title track, “A Light That Waits,” is available now, offering a powerful first look at the band’s next era. Listen to the title track and Pre-Save/Add the album HERE .
Written by Joe King (lead vocals), Ben Wysocki (drums), Dave Welsh (guitar), and producer Jason Suwito, the title track holds special significance as the first song born from a full collaboration between the three band members since their return.
“This was the first moment where the three of us were writing from scratch,” says King. “We were in Ben’s studio in Denver, just trying to discover something… All of a sudden, it was clear: this is a light that waits. But it took us being in the room, listening to ourselves and to one another, to really find the song. And that’s what’s beautiful about being a band.”
The album follows the 2025 releases “My Heart’s a Crowded Room,” “Emerald,” and “Songs I’d Rather Not Sing,”and features 11 tracks in total, produced by Jason Suwito, Ryan Linvill & The Fray.
A Light That Waits Track List:
- “A Light That Waits” *
- “Still Got You” *
- “Ice Cold Lakes” *
- “Emerald” *
- “My Heart’s A Crowded Room” *
- “Wherever You Reach For Me” *
- “Let Me Go First” *
- “Songs I’d Rather Not Sing” *
- “Tasted Glory” #
- “After You, Only God” *
- “Sea Level Drive” #
* produced by The Fray & Jason Suwito

“We could have hung it up, and I think we all contemplated that, but we have more stories about life to tell,” adds Welsh. “And we had to respect what we had earned from fans. I heard it phrased once by somebody that plays tennis, that you have to respect the spirit of the player. We’ve earned a seat at the table with a lot of people, and to not do it just because you’re tired wasn’t an option. We owe it to both the life that happens in us and to the people that have listened to us and asked for more. And so, A Light That Waits is more.”
Rising to prominence in the early 2000s, The Fray introduced a soul-searching alt-rock sound that was both expansive and intimate. Over the course of their career, the band has earned four GRAMMY Award nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, multiple Billboard Top 10 hits, and a devoted global fanbase. Their breakout single, “How to Save a Life,” is RIAA Diamond-certified, spent 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, and became a defining anthem through its association with ABC’s Emmy-winning series Grey’s Anatomy.

Caamp Announces 2026 Headlining Tour
Caamp announces its 2026 Tour, which kicks off in Richmond, VA on April 22nd. With 13 of the 19-city headlining tour co-produced by FPC Live and Live Nation – Caamp’s 2026 Tour follows the band’s successful 2025 Tour and Copper Changes Color album – includes stops at Forest Hills Stadium (Forest Hills, NY), Merriweather Post Pavilion (Columbia, MD), and two nights at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre (Greenwood Village, CO). It will also include a special hometown arena show at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, OH.
Artist pre-sale begins February 17th at 10am local time with additional pre-sales running throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale which begins February 20th at 10am local time. Caamp will donate $1 for each ticket sold to their Great Heights Movement, which supports charitable programs in the Columbus, OH area and beyond. Fans can learn more and register for the pre-sale code now at: caamptheband.com/caamp-tour-dates
In addition to their 2026 headlining tour, Caamp will join Zach Bryan and Mumford & Sons for direct support for select dates on Bryan’s With Heaven On Tour starting in March, and Mumford & Sons’ Prizefighter European Tour in July. They will also play festivals including High Water Festival (headliner), Railbird Festival and Levitate Music and Arts Festival (headliner).
Last summer, the band released their fifth studio album, Copper Changes Color, via Mom+Pop Music. The album – which Garden & Gun praises for its “Strokes-like strut, all clanging electric guitars at a punchy clip” while still nailing “the sweet spot of Caamp’s trademark folk and delicate banjo beneath Meier’s distinctive baritone” – is both a reflection on growth and evolution and a celebration of the dreams and bonds that endure. Copper Changes Colordebuted at No. 1 on the Americana/Folk Albums chart and on Spotify’s Top 10 Albums: Debut USA, plus earned the band’s fifth Adult Alternative Airplay No. 1 single with “Mistakes.”
The 2026 Tour follows their sold-out 2025 Tour, which saw more than 200K tickets sold and included stops at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall, LA’s Greek Theatre, Chicago’s Salt Shed, Denver’s Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway, DC’s The Anthem, and more, plus a successful European Tour.
Founded in Athens, OH by Taylor Meier (frontman + primary songwriter) and Evan Westfall (multi-instrumentalist), Caamp – which also includes Matt Vinson (bass), Joseph Kavalec (keys) and Nicholas Falk (drums) – rocketed to early acclaim with their self-titled 2016 debut, which garnered the band their first gold single and will celebrate its 10th anniversary next month. Since then, the group has racked up more than 2.5 billion streams; topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart; topped the Americana Albums chart, sold out multiple nights from Red Rocks to Radio City; headlined Columbus’ Nationwide Arena; received praise from the likes of NPR, Relix, SPIN and more; and performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS Saturday Morning. Caamp also wrote and recorded “And It’s Gone” as the main title theme for Stick, the 2025 hit AppleTV+ original sports comedy starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson.

Tame Impala Announce North American Arena Tour with Djo and Dominik Fike
After 2025 and 2026 global sell-outs, Tame Impala has added another run of North American dates kicking off this summer. The tour will begin in Miami at Kaseya Center on July 7th and wrap up September 19th at the Toyota Center in Houston. The first half of the tour will be supported by Djo and the latter half by Dominic Fike, marking the first time either of the two massive artists in their own right have ever supported on a tour. Artist presales via Seated will begin Wednesday, February 18 at 12pm local time, with unique passwords required. Additional presales will follow on Thursday, February 19 at 12pm local time, including the AEG/Venue presale, the Ticketmaster/AXS presale, and the Radio presale. All presales will conclude Thursday, February 19 at 10pm local time, with the public on sale beginning Friday, February 20 at 12pm local time. For more information visit www.tameimpala.com
Late last year, Tame Impala released his fifth full-length album, Deadbeat via Columbia Records. On it, Parker sculpted a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date, including the breakout hit “Dracula.” The song has now held the #1 position at ALT radio and Tame Impala has since released “Dracula (JENNIE Remix).” The song travelled all the way to South Korea and came back reborn with vocals from the global superstar. LISTEN HERE.
After releasing Deadbeat, Parker scored a GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for the single “End Of Summer” (the only track eligible for the 2026 GRAMMYS) and won the category earlier this month. He also picked up a BRIT Award nomination for International Group of the Year. Tame Impala has had 5 career GRAMMY nominations and now two wins, and has racked up three BRIT Award nominations and a win throughout his career. Prior to becoming tour-mates, Tame Impala and Djo (Joe Keery) teamed up for the “Loser” video – WATCH HERE.
“One of the best live shows of the year.”
