Alter Bridge announce new album Walk The Sky - and reveal 2019 tour dates

Alter Bridge

Alter Bridge have announced that they’ll release their sixth studio album later this year.

It’s titled Walk The Sky and it’s set to arrive on October 18 through Napalm Records.

The follow-up to 2016’s The Last Hero was recorded differently from the band’s previous material, with vocalist Myles Kennedy and guitarist Mark Tremonti entering the studio with complete song ideas. These were then moulded into shape by the duo along with bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips.

On previous albums Kennedy and Tremonti would combine ideas and riffs with producer Michael ‘Elvis’ Baskette to form some of the band’s most best-loved tracks.

Along with today’s album news, Alter Bridge have also revealed a UK and European tour, which will take place throughout November and December.

They’ll be joined in the UK by Shinedown and Sevendust, while Shinedown and Raven Age will hook up with Alter Bridge for the shows across mainland Europe.

Tremonti says: "We are honoured to be returning to the UK with our friends in Shinedown and Sevendust this winter. See you all very soon, we couldn’t be happier with the lineup and can’t wait to share our new tunes with you!”

Tickets will go on general sale from 10am local time on June 21.
