Slash announces Flying Blind and a 2027 world tour, with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators

Slash has a new album and a lot of road ahead of him. Flying Blind, his fifth record with singer Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, arrives on 26 February 2027 on Gibson Records, and a world tour built around it runs from April to July.

The title track is already out, released on 2 October 2026 alongside the announcement. The 12-song tracklist runs: "Avarice and Greed", "Good Time Girl", "Thrill Seeker", "One of Your Kind", "Flying Blind", "Looking for a Miracle", "Sweet Kill", "Here in Babylon", "Living the Dream", "(Don't) Thread the Needle", "Rev My Heart" and "Stem the Flow".

Slash describes the record as "a really fun, kind of spontaneous rock 'n' roll record", and says it is "straightforward and down-to-earth and raw". For anyone new to the partnership: Kennedy has fronted Slash's solo band since 2010, and the pair's previous album together, Living the Dream, came out in 2018.

Where the tour goes

The run opens on 2 April 2027 at Teatro Caupolicán in Santiago, Chile, then moves through Argentina, including a Buenos Aires date on 7 April, and Brazil. The North American leg starts on 23 April in Reno, Nevada, takes in a two-night stand at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on 26 and 27 April, and closes on 22 May in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Europe follows from 7 June. The UK and Ireland dates are:

• 30 June: Cardiff Castle
• 1 July: Scarborough Open Air Theatre
• 3 July: Dublin
• 4 July: Belfast
• 6 July: The Piece Hall, Halifax
• 7 July: Eventim Apollo, London

The tour then heads east through Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria, and finishes on 26 July at Rockstadt Extreme Festival in Ghimbav, Romania.

Tickets

Live Nation's presale for the UK shows opens on 8 October 2026 at 10:00 local time, with general sale on Friday 9 October at 10:00 local time. Slash's own mailing list offers early access, and venue and promoter pages list the individual shows. The Halifax page lists a doors time of 18:00, and London's Eventim Apollo has doors at 19:00.

It is the band's first headline run since 2024. For a guitarist who spent the 2020s alternating between Guns N' Roses stadiums and his own club-sized rock shows, this one leans back toward the second kind, with a few festival stages thrown in.
