The Dead Daisies are bringing their live show to your living room — for real this time. Live Plus Five arrives on CD on 05/01 and on vinyl on 05/15, both editions landing physically in the USA and Canada via limited runs of 2CD and 2LP.
The release is built around Live At Stonedead, their full set from the U.K.’s Stonedead festival on 08/23/2025, and expanded with five additional tracks pulled from headline dates across Europe and the States. Those bonus cuts come from La Rayonne in Lyon, Picturedrome and Rock City in the U.K., and the legendary Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles — all captured during 2024 and 2025.
Guitarist Doug Aldrich didn’t hide his enthusiasm for how the project came together: “We had such a fantastic run during the last tour in the U.K.! Stonedead festival was one of the highlights featuring the latest setlist and songs from the history of the band, including our last album ‘Lookin’ For Trouble’. Now, we’ve gone next level and added five extra tracks from epic shows in the U.K., France, and L.A.! Hope you enjoy ‘Live Plus Five’!”
The physical editions go well beyond the previously released digital version. The CD comes with a full-color booklet, while the purple vinyl includes a dedicated insert — both loaded with setlists, show posters, and visual memorabilia from the road.
The band isn’t stopping there. The Dead Daisies are heading back into the studio later in 2026 to begin work on their next album, with an extensive European and U.S. tour pencilled in for 2027.
The Australian-American supergroup, founded by rhythm guitarist and businessman David Lowy, has spent over a decade building a reputation as one of rock’s hardest-working live acts. Seven studio albums in, they’ve toured alongside Kiss, Guns N’ Roses, Scorpions, Aerosmith, and Def Leppard, among others. Their most recent collection of originals, Light ‘Em Up, dropped in September 2024 through SPV and Japan’s Ward Records, produced by Marti Frederiksen — the man behind sessions with Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Jonny Lang, and Sheryl Crow. They also have Lookin’ For Trouble in their recent catalog — a full-length blues record tracked live at FAME Studios and released via Fame/Malaco Records, featuring covers of John Lee Hooker‘s “Boom Boom” and Robert Johnson‘s “Crossroads.”
