Alabama Shakes

About

After a decade away, Alabama Shakes are set to return with a 2026 European tour. The Athens, AL band — Brittany Howard, Heath Fogg, and Zac Cockrell — first broke out with their 2012 debut Boys & Girls (ATO Records), which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart and earned multiple GRAMMY nominations. Lead single, “Hold On,” was named Rolling Stone’s #1 Song of 2012, propelling the group onto major stages including the White House and Saturday Night Live.

Their momentum grew with the groundbreaking Sound & Color, released in 2015. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and won GRAMMYs for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Engineered Album, with “Don’t Wanna Fight” winning Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song.

Howard, Fogg, and Cockrell have also reunited in the studio, with more new music on the horizon.
