The Pretty Reckless announce fifth studio album ‘‘Dear God’’, premiere new single “When I Wake Up” and reveal 2026 world tour

Record-breaking, platinum-selling rock band The Pretty Reckless have begun an explosive new era with the announcement of their forthcoming fifth studio album “DEAR GOD” (pre-order HERE) 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 – listen HERE. 

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 raw diaristic songwriting. The high-octane new single “When I Wake Up”leans into a punk-driven sound while staying true to what has become the band’s signature: explosive guitars and Momsen’s unmistakable powerhouse vocal. The album will also include their chart-topping single “For I Am Death”, which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart last November, marking their fourth consecutive No. 1 and the second time the band has achieved this impressive feat.

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. See full European tour routing below. This tour follows their incredible two-year long trek across the globe alongside AC/DC on the PWR UP Tour.
