Alesso has opened 2026 with a statement, and “FADE” is exactly that. The collaboration with Australian electronic rock band Pendulum is out now, a hauntingly euphoric electro-ballad that brings together Alesso’s colossal drops and Rob Swire’s unmistakable vocals into something that feels genuinely timeless. This is the kind of track that reminds you why both artists have the fanbases they do.
The chemistry between Alesso and Pendulum is immediate and earned. “I’ve known Rob and Pendulum for many years, and they’ve held such a special sound,” Alesso says. “Rob’s voice is so unique that it can really bring a track to life. Working on FADE with them was amazing.” That enthusiasm translates directly into the music, a track that entwines rock and electronic without compromising either, letting both artists’ individuality shine while building something larger than either could have made alone.
“FADE” arrives on the heels of an already busy year for Alesso, who made appearances at Milan Fashion Week and headlined X Games Aspen earlier in 2026. The single now sets the tone for his biggest move yet, a first-ever US headline tour kicking off this April at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, with stops in San Francisco and Los Angeles before a closing night in New York City. For an artist cementing his place as a genuine household name in electronic music, a Red Rocks headline is exactly the right stage.
