A visual counterpart to the album’s narrative about a mental health journey and the resolve of the human spirit, the ATTENTION ATTENTION film weaves together the album’s 14 songs into a provocative and thought-provoking cinematic story that illuminates yet another dimension of Shinedown’s limitless creativity. The band recently brought the LP to life in a riveting feature film. Planet Zero follows Shinedown’s 2018 acclaimed album ATTENTION ATTENTION, which was certified RIAA Gold. The band will then embark on a run of Canadian dates beginning in July with support from Pop Evil and Ayron Jones. In June, Shinedown will head overseas for a UK and European run featuring festival appearances at Rock im Park and Rock am Ring in Germany, Download Festival in the UK, and HellFest in France along with select shows with Iron Maiden. ![]() Later in May, Shinedown will head to Daytona Beach for Welcome To Rockville 2022 where they’ll headline Saturday, May 21st alongside Guns N’ Roses and Rise Against. Beginning April 1st, Shinedown will take their The Revolution’s Live Tour to more cities all across the US in April and May, with special guests The Pretty Reckless and DIAMANTE. ![]() Fast-rising rock artist and one to watch, Ayron Jones, opens for Shinedown on this run through early February. Shinedown kicks off the first leg of their US tour with the Shinedown Live In Concert Tour tonight (Wed, Jan 26th) in San Francisco at The Warfield, before heading to Los Angeles for a show at The Wiltern on January 28th. Shinedown will be hitting the road in support of the project with their biggest stage show yet, propelled by the undeniable power of front man Brent Smith’s voice. Not only a driving force for their songwriting, their humanitarian outlook led Shinedown to be one of the first artists to fundraise for non-profit humanitarian aid organization Direct Relief in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, raising more than $400,000 with their “Atlas Falls” relief effort. While a raw ferocity fuels much of Planet Zero on tracks like “The Saints of Violence and Innuendo,” “No Sleep Tonight,” and “America Burning,” there is also hope, triumph, and reminders that we all need one another on songs like “Daylight,” “Dysfunctional You,” and “A Symptom of Being Human.” After all, it is the band’s impassioned striving for unity that has long been at the heart of their creative output and deeply informed the making of Planet Zero. Produced by Shinedown’s Eric Bass (who also produced the band’s 2018 acclaimed album ATTENTION ATTENTION,) and recorded at Bass’ newly built Big Animal Studio in South Carolina, Planet Zero matches its immersive world-building and takedown of authoritarianism with a deliberately unvarnished sound, and the album is spliced with interludes featuring Cyren, an insidious and unsettling robot character that appears throughout the Planet Zero journey. A critical yet optimistic look at the fractures and frays of a society that has undergone many challenges in the last few years, the album is part social commentary and part in-depth exploration of the human psyche. Their most ambitious and masterfully realized work to date, Planet Zero is a high-concept, ultra-vivid, viscerally charged saga. Over the last two decades, Shinedown have cemented their status as one of the most vital and forward-thinking powerhouses in modern rock. The fact is that we’re all here on this planet no matter what, so it’s time to actually move forward together with empathy, perseverance and strength. But we’re starting to see parts of society slip into an unknown. “When you look outside of your phone, you’ll see there are so many people doing good things and trying to take care of each other. “If we shut each other down and allow ourselves to be divided by the information we consume and the way we talk to each other, we lose our humanity,” vocalist Brent Smith says.
