Shinedown announce special acoustic show in London on June 17th 2025

Multi-platinum rock titans Shinedown have announced a very special acoustic show in London on June 17th, 2025, featuring frontman Brent Smith and guitarist Zach Myers.

The one-night-only event will offer fans a rare opportunity to see the duo perform acoustic versions of Shinedown’s biggest hits, deep cuts, and fan favourites in the intimate setting of Islington’s Assembly Hall.

The acoustic performance follows the band’s upcoming appearance at the legendary Download Festival, where Shinedown will sub-headline the main stage on June 14th for what promises to be another unforgettable full-band show.

Zach comments: “We’re so excited to come back to the UK for Download Festival. We couldn’t just come and do one show and leave… Brent and I have been wanting to do an acoustic show in the UK for quite some time and we’re glad we finally get to make it happen in one of the venues Shinedown first played when we came to the UK years ago. See ya in London”!

This London date is a must-see! This exclusive performance offers fans an up-close look at Shinedown’s stripped-down sound, showcasing the emotional depth and the undeniable chemistry between Brent and Zach.

With very limited capacity, the show is expected to sell out quickly.

Tickets go on sale Friday 2nd May at 10am BST via Shinedown’s website and Live Nation.

Shinedown recently released a monster of a music video for their #1 song “Dance, Kid, Dance”.

The music video, which was filmed in Brooklyn, NY, brings the viewer into a dark underground world of pure rock fervour and dance. The video opens up with concert goers trying to break into a vending machine to take “the pills (that) will make you dance” and builds into a nonstop crescendo of rock and pure adrenaline. Not to mention, the video features the members of Shinedown doing exactly what they do best – bring high energy with a killer live performance.

The video was directed by Lewis Cater, choreographed by Julissa Bond, and edited by Samuel Halleen.

Last week the band kicked off the U.S. leg of their Dance, Kid, Dance Tour. The 36-date run is one of the largest run of shows (and venues) the band has ever put on. It will be the first time the band has ever headlined some of the U.S.A.’s most legendary venues including Madison Square Garden (July 20th), Boston’s TD Garden (July 19th), LA’s Kia Forum (August 3rd), New Orleans’ Smoothie King (May 6th) and more. Joining them on the tour are Beartooth & Bush (on select dates) and Morgan Wade for all shows.

The band has already had a packed 2025 as their latest single “Dance, Kid, Dance” has made history reaching #1 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart, which marks their 22nd song to reach #1 on the chart, and on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart. Shinedown have become the only band in the charts history to reach 20 #1’s on the chart. Not to mention when the song entered the Top 5 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, Shinedown tied with the Foo Fighters for the artists with the most songs to hit the top 10 in the chart’s history with 32 songs each. All these incredible accomplishments continue to solidify that Shinedown have made a name for themselves in rock. On Mediabase, Shinedown hold the record for the most #1’s, #5’s and #10’s on the Active Rock chart, with a total of 24 #1’s on the Mediabase charts.
