Multi-platinum, chart-topping band Shinedown have released an emotional tour video for their current hit single “Daylight,” off their latest album Planet Zero. The new visual, created by Sanjay Parikh Media, is dedicated to all the fans worldwide and documents the band’s Planet Zero World Tour, which wrapped its U.S. leg earlier this month with an explosive set at the Aftershock Festival after crisscrossing the country with Jelly Roll and John Harvie in tow.
“We wanted to show the power of the human condition,” shares front man Brent Smith. “As a band, we wanted to express our appreciation and our love of bringing people together. We have said it before, and we will say it again, we only have one boss. It just happens to be everyone in the audience. This is our love letter to the greatest fans in the world.”
“Daylight“ is a meaningful portrait of a vital human connection that reminds us that we are never alone and reflects on the importance of empathy and the relationships in our lives that help get us through to the next day. The poignant anthem, hailed by People magazine as “the most powerful of pop-rock songs created to remind us that we are truly all in this together,” marks Shinedown’s 19th #1 at Active Rock and 18th #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart – both all-time records on these charts. “Daylight” has also been streamed over 15 million times collectively across DSPs. The Amazon Original version, first released in September, is a complete re-imagining of the song that changes up the chord progression and tempo, and injects big drums and an aggressive distorted synth guitar tone that balances against the beauty and softness of the verses and chorus.
Shinedown’s acclaimed seventh studio album Planet Zero, produced by the band’s bassist Eric Bass, is out now via Atlantic Records. PRESS HERE to listen. Planet Zero debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 Chart and the Official UK Albums Chart, and at #1 on six other Billboard charts including Top Album Sales, Rock, Hard Rock, and Alternative Albums Charts.

ABOUT SHINEDOWN
Multi-platinum, record-breaking band Shinedown – Brent Smith [vocals], Zach Myers [guitar], Eric Bass [bass, production], and Barry Kerch [drums] – were named #1 on Billboard’s Greatest Of All Time Mainstream Rock Artists Chart, after notching the most ever #1s (18) in the 40-year history of the Mainstream Rock Songs Chart with a string of consecutive #1 hit singles “Atlas Falls,” “ATTENTION ATTENTION,” “GET UP,” “MONSTERS,” “DEVIL,” “Planet Zero,” and now “Daylight.” With over 6.5 billion global streams, 19 #1 Active Rock hits, 10 million albums sold worldwide, 14 platinum and gold singles, platinum or gold certification for all their albums, and countless sold-out arena tours, Shinedown have also become an essential cultural force as evidenced by their major media acclaim and participation in the prestigious 92Y Talks series. The band’s last studio album, 2018’s acclaimed ATTENTION ATTENTION, debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 and simultaneously hit #1 on Billboard’s Alternative, Top Rock and Hard Rock Albums Charts. Shinedown also turned that album into a stunning feature film, available worldwide. The ATTENTION ATTENTION visual counterpart, directed by Bill Yukich (Beyoncé, Metallica, Wiz Khalifa), brings to life the album’s narrative about a mental health journey and the resolve of the human spirit, weaving together 14 songs into a provocative and thought-provoking cinematic story that illuminates yet another dimension of Shinedown’s limitless creativity. With the addition of Planet Zero to their extraordinary catalog, Shinedown has cemented their status as one of the most vital and forward-thinking powerhouses in music.
