Record-breaking, multiplatinum rock band The Pretty Reckless have begun an explosive new era with the announcement of their forthcoming fifth studio album Dear God as well as a 2026 headlining world tour. Arriving alongside the announcement is their new single “When I Wake Up” out now via Fearless Records.
Marking the beginning of a new creative chapter, Dear God embraces vulnerability, intensity and artistic freedom, inviting listeners into one of the band’s most raw and uncompromising records yet. The band approached the album with a renewed commitment to authenticity, creating a record defined by honest performance and diaristic songwriting. The high-octane new single “When I Wake Up” explores a new sound for the band while also staying true to what has become their signature: searing guitar, thunderous drums and Momsen’s unmistakable powerhouse vocal.
Speaking about the song and new album, frontwoman Taylor Momsen said: “‘When I Wake Up’ is the story of a dream becoming a nightmare. When a life of excess leads you on a rollercoaster that is doomed to crash but you just can’t see it. It’s a good time…”
The Pretty Reckless will bring their electrifying stage performance to fans across the world with their all-new headlining Dear God Tour. The tour will kick off in North America, making stops in New Orleans, Dallas, Los Angeles, and New York before wrapping in Europe, see full tour routing below. This tour follows their incredible two-year long trek across the globe alongside AC/DC on the PWR UP Tour.
This upcoming marquee year follows a remarkable 12 months for the band, which included an acclaimed performance at the prestigious 2026 Musicares Person of the Year Gala, where Taylor honored the legendary Mariah Carey alongside the Foo Fighters, as well as a performance at the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where Taylor performed with Soundgarden for their induction. Additionally, the band released their holiday EP Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas, which reignited over two decades of global fandom and nostalgia.
