Overview

  • Cantrell said the band expected far more activity in 2025, but a tour slated for this period fell through.
  • All May dates were canceled after drummer Sean Kinney experienced medical complications, including festival slots at MMRBQ, Sonic Temple, and Welcome To Rockville.
  • Kinney’s condition has not been disclosed, but he performed with the band at Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s July 5 finale in Birmingham.
  • The group will revisit plans early next year to choose between recording, returning to the road, or both, with early 2026 being considered for a restart.
  • Alice In Chains last released a studio album in 2018 with Rainier Fog, while Cantrell has been wrapping the cycle for his 2024 solo album I Want Blood.
