Multi-platinum recording artists Big Wreck have today announced details for the release of the sixth studio album, …but for the sun. Recorded in Toronto and produced by JUNO Award winner Eric Ratz and Big Wreck’s Ian Thornley, the new album will be released in all formats on Friday, August 30, 2019.
Fans can begin to pre-order/save the album now HERE.
In addition to the album announcement, Big Wreck has revealed the dates for the Canadian leg of their …but for the sun 2019 tour. The new dates follow the band’s 21-date tour dates in the U.S. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, July 26th, with pre-sales beginning Tuesday, July 23rd. Follow Big Wreck socials for pre-sale details. See all tour dates below.
Thornley describes the album as a “no bullshit return to loud rock and roll.” That description comes as no surprise to fans as the album’s first single, the Top 5 Rock Radio hit “Locomotive” set the stage for what’s to come. Fans got their second taste of the album last month with the surprise release of the hard-rocking “Too Far Gone.” With today’s announcement, the band gives fans another taste of the new album with the release of “One More Chance.”
