The Gaslight Anthem return with first new song in nine years, announce US tour

The Gaslight Anthem have returned with their first new track in over nine years – listen to ‘Positive Charge’ below.

The New Jersey rockers went on hiatus in 2015 before reuniting in 2018 for a string of anniversary shows in celebration of ‘The ‘59 Sound’. They resumed their hiatus shortly afterwards but confirmed in 2022 they were back in the studio working on a sixth album and confirmed details of a world tour.

“I am very pleased to announce to you all that The Gaslight Anthem is returning to full time status as a band,” said vocalist Brian Fallon at the time. “We’re also beginning to write new songs for what will be our sixth LP. We’re very much looking forward to the future and seeing you all again. We want to thank you for staying with us. Stay tuned!”

The Gaslight Anthem have now shared their first new music since 2014’s ‘Get Hurt’ – check out ‘Positive Charge’ below.

“‘Positive Charge’ began as a message of joy to ourselves and to our audience,” said Fallon. “The central theme is about looking at the things you’ve come through and feeling like you want to go ahead with an open heart toward the future, believing that the best years are not behind any of us and the good we have is worth something.”

The Gaslight Anthem have also announced a string of US headline shows for September and October alongside their previously confirmed run in May. Tickets for the new shows go on sale Friday May 5 and will be available here.
