The Hives Unveil World Tour, Lead Single of Forthcoming Album

Swedish rockers The Hives have some big news under their belts. The group announced the release date for their seventh album, The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, on August 29, as well as the album’s lead single “Enough Is Enough.” In the meantime, a global tour will take the group to fans in Australia, North America, and Europe.

The band will begin their world tour on April 12 in New York, followed by a performance at Finland’s major rock festival Provinssi on June 27. From there, the tour moves to Australia for gigs in Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney before wrapping-up in the country on July 24 in Brisbane. On July 27, the rockers will make an appearance at Fuji Rock Festival in Japan.  

The North American run kicks-off in the fall at Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater in Austin on September 8. The fall trek will include additional stops in Denver, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, and more, before a final performance in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium on September 25.

Throughout October, November, and the first week of December, The Hives will perform in European and U.K. cities, including Oslo, Copenhagen, Berlin, Wien, Zurich, Milan, Madrid, Paris, Glasgow, London, Hamburg, and more, with a final destination at Avicii Arena in Stockholm on December 6.

The band’s upcoming album The Hives Forever Forever The Hives consists of thirteen tracks produced by Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Mike D of Beastie Boys.

“This message is to inform you that International Rock Sensation The Hives, the best live band on the planet and still your new favourite band, lauded on all continents for their masterful skill and reckless abandon in the rock music field, have once again, sooner than you expected, created a new body of work the likes of which have never been heard or indeed probably will again,” the band shared in a statement. “A new record so full of energy, joy, anger and life that you will be questioning reality as you have known it.”

The Hives Forever Forever The Hives will follow the release of 2023’s The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons record. Formed in 1993, The Hives celebrated their 30th anniversary with that album.

Consisting of Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist (Per Almqvist) in lead vocals; Nicholaus Arson (Niklas Almqvist) in lead guitar, backing vocals; Vigilante Carlstroem (Mikael Karlsson) in rhythm guitar, backing vocals; Chris Dangerous (Christian Grahn) in drums, percussion; and The Johan and Only (Johan Gustafsson) in bass guitar, the band members have remained unchanged since 1993 aside from Dr. Matt Destruction (bass), who retired for health reasons in 2013 and was replaced by The Johan and Only.

The Hives are best-known for their energetic live shows where they dress in matching black-and-white tuxedos. Their catalog consists of six albums, with a total of 11 years between their fifth and sixth studio records.
