I’m looking forward to the new Alter Bridge, Black Label Society (it’d be nice to get a new studio album and a live concert album) & Megadeth albums. I also hope we get a Back To The Beginning release whether it be a box set or vinyl/dvd/cd release featuring all performances from all the bands that day.
I’m not sure what else is planned for 2026 from many other artists. But I reckon there will be more box sets, remastered reissues, etc and not quite as much NEW music from the bands re-releasing old material. Will G N R record and release brand new material written together instead of old Chinese Democracy throw away? Tool?
Bands will continue the trend of reissues and it’s our fault, the consumers, for continuing to buy it! I’m guilty. But bands have become lazy when it comes to recording new, full length, albums!
I don’t have much hope it will ever be released, but really looking forward to anything new from either Mercyful Fate or King Diamond. He’s been working on these albums for years, but has turned into the musical equivalent of George RR Martin from the book world. I’ll believe it when I hear it. But supposedly this is the year he’ll finish up one or both albums.
Far as upcoming shows, no clue what’s coming so no idea lol I’m looking forward to seeing Blue Oyster Cult in February, but I doubt it’ll be the highlight of my year for concerts. They are great though, so who knows maybe they will be.
hey Eddie Trunk did you have a great Christmas with your family and friends hope you ate lots of good foods over the Christmas break I sure did just pig out on junk food LOL are you going to watch the ball drop on new years ever with the family on the 31s or you go to bed early LOL my mom goes go to bed early LOL but me and my dad stay up late up to watch to see it drop if you get a chance to see this message rock on bro!
Thank you for your interest, but Eddie does not read the comments on this site, he is way too busy.
My suggestion is to follow his Twitter account, and try sending him a tweet. I cannot guarantee he will see it over there, either, but I can assure you, it will not be read here, unless I pass it along.
He leaves me in charge to moderate all the comments and handle the news.

For music releases, I’m looking forward to the new Megadeth album in January 2026 and the new Armored Saint album in Spring 2026.
For tours, Im looking forward to Iron Maiden/Megadeth, and a hopeful Armored Saint tour after their new album is released.
Megadeth. Reluctantly the last album and tour but I’m sure Dave & the band will be a force to reckon with before they take their final bow
