Slash 2027 Tour Brings New Album 'Flying Blind' Worldwide

The Slash 2027 tour is happening. Slash is back on the road with his other band, and he is bringing a new record with him. The guitarist revealed on October 2, 2026 that the run will see him, Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators circle the globe from April through July 2027, paired with a new studio album called Flying Blind due in February 2027. The title track is out now as the record's first single, and it arrived with a stop-motion puppet music video.

The album will be the band's fifth studio effort together, and its arrival marks the end of a four-year wait since 2022's 4. Flying Blind lands on February 26, 2027 via Gibson Records, the guitar brand's label, and carries twelve songs that were largely cut in about a week at Studio Barbarosa in Florida, according to AXS. Longtime collaborator Michael "Elvis" Baskette handled production, continuing a partnership that has shaped the band's sound since the early 2010s.

Slash described the record as "a really fun, kind of spontaneous rock 'n' roll record. It's very straightforward and down-to-earth and raw." The guitarist said the title song grew out of a riff he brought to a pre-production rehearsal, and the full band quickly built it into a finished track. Myles Kennedy praised Slash as "an incredible riff writer," adding that the song's lyric is about people hunting for shortcuts to happiness and enlightenment, as reported by Loudwire. The track listing runs from "Avarice and Greed" through "Good Time Girl," "Thrill Seeker," "Looking for a Miracle," "Sweet Kill" and closer "Stem the Flow."

The Slash 2027 tour: from Santiago to Romania

The trek opens at Teatro Caupolicán in Santiago, Chile on April 2, 2027, then moves through Argentina and Brazil before the North American leg begins in Reno, Nevada on April 23, 2027. Stops include two nights at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, plus dates at Denver's Fillmore Auditorium, New York's Beacon Theatre and Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, winding up in Tulsa, Oklahoma on May 22, 2027. The European run starts in Munich on June 7, 2027 and mixes headline shows at venues like Cardiff Castle and London's Eventim Apollo with festival appearances at Nova Rock, Azkena Rock Festival and Masters of Rock, before closing at the Rockstadt Extreme Festival in Ghimbav, Romania on July 26, 2027, according to AXS.

How this cycle compares to the last one

This marks the band's first headline tour since 2024, a gap explained partly by Slash's other commitments: he spent much of the time since touring with Guns N' Roses alongside Axl Rose and Duff McKagan across North America, South America and Australia. His only intervening release, 2024's Orgy of the Damned, was a blues covers project featuring guest vocalists rather than a full-band Conspirators album. The new record was recorded in the same quick, live-feel sessions the band has long favored, and Slash recently reflected on a decade and a half of working with Kennedy and the group, saying: "As long as there's electricity, we'll keep plugging in." Fans who followed the 2022 album cycle will recognize the playbook: a lean record tracked fast, then a long world tour. The difference with the Slash 2027 tour is scale, with the band leaning into historic rooms and heritage festival slots across three continents rather than arena-sized stands.

Tickets: presale dates and what to know

Ticket presales begin on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, with the general on-sale following on Friday, October 9, 2026 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster. With the North American leg hitting intimate theatres like the Beacon and the Ryman, demand for those rooms is likely to be fierce, so fans hoping for the smaller venues should set reminders for presale day and catch the Slash 2027 tour before the best seats disappear. Consequence notes the announcement also came with a charitable sweepstakes through Fandiem, offering one winner and a guest a trip to Wales to meet Slash backstage at the Cardiff Castle show, with proceeds benefiting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Between the album release in February 2027, the single out now and the tour stretching from April into July 2027, the timeline gives fans a clear roadmap: stream the title track, grab the record in the spring, and watch the presale next week if you want a seat.
