Lzzy Hale-fronted post-grunge and alt-rock quartet
Halestorm to embark on global tour throughout September and November 2025 in support of sixth studio album, EVEREST, including huge UK shows at Cardiff's Utilita Arena, Glasgow OVO Hydro, Birmingham's bp pulse LIVE, Manchester's AO Arena, and The O2 Arena in London.
The GRAMMY-winning band initially formed by siblings Lzzy and Arejay Hale with guitarist Joe Hottinger and bassist Josh Smith, have announced Everest, their sixth studio album out August 8 on Atlantic Records alongside the nEVEREST Duality tour. a US/Canada tour this fall with Lindsey Stirling and supported by Apocalyptica.
The band offered a glimpse of Everest with 'Darkness Always Wins', the first song to be revealed from the upcoming collection. The song teases an album, produced by GRAMMY winner Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell), that dives deeply, both lyrically and sonically, into the band’s mountainous climb over the last couple decades.
“Our album Everest is a story of our journey as a band, full of beautiful endings and new beginnings,” says Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale. “We weave a tangled web of melancholy, frustration, anger and the vast purgatory of love and love lost. It is a rollercoaster of epic musical detours, great songwriting and completely unhinged twists and turns. Everest is an auditory representation of the four pillars of Halestorm. Let us reintroduce ourselves and invite you into our world…if you dare.”
Rolling Stone said of 'Darkness Always Wins': "What the song has going for is its catchy, brooding, and dramatic in all the ways we love Halestorm songs to be." Revolver noted: "The arrangement remains lean even as the amps begin to crank into the red, though ‘Darkness Always Wins’ still sports some exquisite minor-key melodicism, a metal-chunked bridge, loud-as-hell requiem bells and a classically rippin’ rock guitar solo."
The newly announced nEVEREST tour follows an epic run first supporting Iron Maiden in Europe and dates with Volbeat in the US with a one night-only-performance at Black Sabbath’s final show in Birmingham, England.
What started as a childhood dream of Lzzy and Arejay Hale, Halestorm has scored seven No.1 hits at rock radio, and their music has surpassed one billion streams across platforms worldwide. They’ve received two GRAMMY nominations and won in 2012 for 'Love Bites (So Do I)' as Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. The band has built a reputation for their dominating live performances and has shared the stage with rock icons like Heaven & Hell, Alice Cooper, and Joan Jett.

Absolutely amazing. Halestorm are out of this World. I loved it. Lizzie's voice is pure golden. The support bands were fabulous too.
Honestly had the best time! Been fans of Halestorm for a long time so was absolutely brilliant seeing them live for the first time! Definitely won't be the last time we see them!
I bought the VIP experience which meant I got to meet the band, they were warm and friendly even though there was a lot of fan wanting to meet them, afterwards we were allowed in to the arena before the GA fans so we got to the front of the stage so had a great view of Lzzy, Joe, Josh & RJ preforming and one of the highlights out of many is one of Joe's plectrums hitting my chest. This is my 4th time I've seen HaleStorm and they've grown into a "must see"live act!
Sorry not the best gig not enough songs from the first 3 albums not heard anything off the new album maybe play a smaller venue as well
Halestorm was amazing live would definitely seen them again. Only a little annoying that liz teased us with a 'taste of poison' song and didn't actually sing it. That was the best song I was waiting for. But still a fantastic time x
Brilliant performance, loved it. Took my wife who had never heard of Halestorm, and she loved it to. Lzzy was well on form. Bonus discovery the support, Bloodywood. Ordered their latest album whilst watching.
Great night Halestorm did not diaaspoint. Bloodywood were a great surprise suppot band.
Izzy Hale is one of the best female singers I've ever seen and Halestorm put one brilliant show on.
Great night first band on ok good show second not really into this wrap heavy metal and all songs sounded the same to me but a lot of people did love it . Halestorm kicked arse from the start Lizzy Hale was an absolute rock goddess and they were faultless through out
