Kentucky hard rock mainstays Black Stone Cherry roar into a powerful new chapter with ‘Celebrate,’ arriving March 6, 2026 via Mascot Records. Recorded at High Street Studios in Bowling Green and produced by the band themselves, the EP captures their chemistry, grit, and heart at full force across six original tracks and a bold cover of Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” featuring Tyler Connolly. New single “Neon Eyes” leads the charge with thumping riffs and road ready swagger, and it hits like pure Black Stone Cherry energy, loud, confident, and built to light up a crowd. This record sounds urgent, alive, and deeply connected to everything the band stands for.
The video for “Neon Eyes” offers a day in the life snapshot on the road, following the band from behind the scenes moments to a high voltage headline set at the 2025 Maid of Stone Festival. Across ‘Celebrate,’ songs like “I’m Fine” and “Deep” explore real emotion through muscular hooks and raw soul, while the Simple Minds cover adds a surprising and soulful finale. There’s a sense of unity and purpose running through every track, and the EP lands as a fearless, heartfelt statement from a band still pushing forward together and making music that truly connects.
