Taylor Momsen and the gang return with new music, new chaos, and five huge UK shows
Right then rock fansโฆ strap in, because The Pretty Reckless are officially back in business. And not just with a cheeky single or two โ weโre talking a brand new album AND a full UK tour announcement. Proper job. ๐ฅ
The New York rock outfit fronted by the unstoppable Taylor Momsen have revealed their fifth studio album, Dear God, which is set to land on 26 June 2026.
Yes munโฆ fresh riffs are coming.
This marks the bandโs first album since 2021โs thunderous Death By Rock And Roll, and if the early singles are anything to go by, theyโre charging straight back into that gritty, bluesy, stadium-sized rock sound thatโs made them one of the most exciting modern rock bands on the planet.
And honestly? The timing couldnโt be better. The rock world has been crying out for a proper Pretty Reckless comeback.
๐ธ NEW MUSIC IS ALREADY DROPPING
Fans have already had a taste of whatโs coming from the album.
Two tracks are out in the wild:
๐ฅ When I Wake Up
๐ฅ For I Am Death
Both songs lean hard into the bandโs darker, cinematic rock style โ the kind of music that feels like it belongs blasting across a festival field while the Welsh rain comes sideways and someone spills a pint in the pit.
Classic gig chaos.
Taylor Momsenโs voice is still absolutely ferocious, switching from smoky blues swagger to full-throttle rock goddess mode in seconds. The band sound tighter than ever too โ big riffs, thunderous drums, and that unmistakable Pretty Reckless attitude.
๐ฌ๐ง UK TOUR DATES โ NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2026
Even better news for British fans โ the band have confirmed five UK shows as part of their Dear God World Tour.
So yesโฆ there will be sweaty venues, loud guitars, and plenty of rock fans screaming every word.
Hereโs where you can catch them:
๐ค 26 November โ Bristol, The Prospect Building
๐ค 27 November โ Wolverhampton, Civic Hall
๐ค 29 November โ Manchester, O2 Victoria Warehouse
๐ค 1 December โ London, O2 Academy Brixton
๐ค 3 December โ Glasgow, Barrowlands
That Glasgow Barrowlands show alone is going to be absolute carnage in the best possible way. Legendary venue, legendary band โ thatโs a recipe for flying pints and crowd chants.
Tickets are expected to go on sale 20 March 2026, with early access available through album pre-orders.
๐ฅ A HUGE ERA FOR THE BAND
Since forming back in 2009, The Pretty Reckless have quietly built one of the most impressive track records in modern rock.
Theyโve racked up multiple UK and US rock chart hits, smashed festival stages across the world, and carved out a sound that sits perfectly between grunge, blues rock, and straight-up arena rock power.
Albums like:
- Light Me Up
- Going To Hell
- Who You Selling For
- Death By Rock And Roll
โฆhave all produced monster tracks that still tear up rock playlists today.
Now with Dear God on the horizon, the band look ready to kick open another loud chapter.
And honestlyโฆ we are absolutely here for it.
๐ค RIFF REPORT VERDICT
New Pretty Reckless music.
A UK tour.
Taylor Momsen back on stage where she belongs.
What more could you want?
Expect huge riffs, massive singalongs, and the kind of rock show where the crowd leaves sweaty, hoarse, and grinning like idiots.
Weโll see you in the pit, butt. ๐ค๐ฅ
