Record-breaking, platinum-selling rock band The Pretty Reckless have begun an explosive new era with the announcement of their forthcoming fifth studio album DEAR GOD (pre-order HERE) as well as a 2026 headlining world tour. Arriving alongside the announcement is their new single “When I Wake Up,” out now via Fearless Records – listen HERE.
Marking the beginning of a new creative chapter, DEAR GOD embraces vulnerability, intensity and artistic freedom, inviting listeners into one of the band’s most raw and uncompromising records yet. The band approached the album with a renewed commitment to raw diaristic songwriting. The high-octane new single “When I Wake Up” leans into a punk-driven sound while staying true to what has become the band’s signature: explosive guitars and Momsen’s unmistakable powerhouse vocal. The album will also include their chart-topping single “For I Am Death,” which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart last November, marking their fourth consecutive No. 1 and the second time the band has achieved this impressive feat.
Speaking about the song and new album, frontwoman Taylor Momsen said “‘When I Wake Up‘ is the story of a dream becoming a nightmare. When a life of excess leads you on a rollercoaster that is doomed to crash but you just can’t see it. It’s a good time…”
The Pretty Reckless will bring their electrifying stage performance to fans across the world with their all-new headlining DEAR GOD Tour. The tour will kick off in North America, making stops in New Orleans, Dallas, and Los Angeles before wrapping in Europe, see full tour routing below. This tour follows their incredible two-year long trek across the globe alongside AC/DC on the PWR UP Tour.
