Godsmack and Shinedown have been quiet lately. Godsmack has taken time off from the road but eventually got back into the studio recently and have released their newest single, “Bulletproof”. Brent and Zach from Shinedown did a short stint of acoustic shows back in December of 2017 but otherwise have also been busy in the studio.
But both bands have new albums dropping within a week of each other and recently announced they are going on a massive summer tour together. Fans of the bands might remember the same bill with both bands alternating the headlining slot. Godsmack singer Sully Erna explained, “We really believe this could be a great moment in our band’s career and we plan on running on the road until at least fall of 2019. We love the guys in Shinedown and we all go way back. There is a very strong mutual respect between our camps and we feel that this tour is going to be a must see!” He adds, “We’re preparing ourselves to be on the top of our game!”
Frontman of Shinedown Brent Smith added, “It’s all about impact, and making a statement. We are creating a show for the fans that is powerful, passionate, and sonically inspiring. The audience has given us a platform to be ourselves, and create something spectacular. That being said Shinedown and Godsmack will most certainly NOT let them down. This will be the Rock & Roll event of the year. In other words ‘IT’S ABOUT TO GET HEAVY!!!”
