Strap in, mun — the Pennsylvania storm-bringers are back and aiming for the summit. Halestorm have officially announced their sixth album Everest, dropping 8 August 2025, and to celebrate they’re hitting the UK with a monster arena tour this November. Proper job! 🤘
The Album: Everest ⛰️
Halestorm don’t do things by halves, and Everest looks set to be their biggest, boldest record yet. Expect huge hooks, molten riffs, and Lzzy Hale’s vocals cutting through like a battle cry in a thunderstorm.
Track teasers include:
- “Everest” – the mountain-sized title track that promises anthemic choruses made for arenas.
- “Darkness Always Wins” – moody, brooding, and classic Halestorm drama.
- “Rain Your Blood On Me” – just from the title, you know it’s going to be absolute carnage live.
- “Like A Woman Can” – bluesy swagger with that signature Hale bite.
It’s shaping up to be an album that plants the flag even higher than The Strange Case Of… or Back From The Dead. Lush stuff.
The Tour: UK Gets the Storm 🌪️🇬🇧
Halestorm aren’t just releasing a record — they’re bringing the thunder live in five arena dates across the UK:
- Thu 20 Nov — Cardiff • Utilita Arena
- Fri 21 Nov — Glasgow • OVO Hydro
- Sun 23 Nov — Birmingham • Resorts World Arena (bp pulse LIVE)
- Mon 24 Nov — Manchester • AO Arena
- Wed 26 Nov — London • The O2
Support? Oh, only a ridiculously stacked line-up: Bloodywood (Indian folk-metal chaos merchants) and Kelsey Karter & The Heroines (rock ’n’ roll rebels with attitude). Tidy. 🔥
Why This Matters 🎤
Halestorm have always thrived in sweaty clubs and festival main stages, but this UK run cements them as arena heavyweights. Expect pyro, confetti cannons, and Arejay Hale battering his kit like it owes him money.
With Everest in their back pocket, this tour’s going to be one of the must-see rock events of 2025. Honestly, if you’re not already planning your travel, what’s occurring?
Tickets 🎟️
Tickets are on sale now via the usual suspects (Ticketmaster, Live Nation, etc.). Don’t dawdle — Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester, London and Birmingham will sell quick once the storm hits.
The Riff Report Verdict ⚡
Halestorm are levelling up, climbing higher, and dragging us all along for the ride. Album six + UK arenas = headbanger’s heaven.
Pack your earplugs, stretch your neck, and keep your pint steady — the Everest era is about to erupt. 🏴🤘
