The Pretty Reckless to Release Dear God Album on June 26, 2026, While Preparing for a Global Tour
The American rock band The Pretty Reckless will issue its fifth studio album, Dear God, on June 26, 2026, through Fearless Records. The release follows a series of promotional singles that have kept the band in the public eye since the 2024 announcement of the project.
Dear God was produced by Jonathan Wyman, frontwoman Taylor Momsen, and guitarist Ben Phillips. Two lead singles—“For I Am Death” and “When I Wake Up”—were issued ahead of the album, with promotional tracks “Love Me” and the title track also released to generate interest. The album’s launch is positioned as a continuation of the band’s hard‑rock sound that has earned them multiple chart‑topper singles on the U.S. and U.K. rock charts.
Momsen has emphasized that the band’s live shows remain unfiltered. In a recent interview, she said the group performs without backing tracks, click tracks, or computer‑based tuning. The quartet—Momsen, Phillips, bassist Mark Damon, and drummer Jamie Perkins—rely on live musicianship alone. The band’s recent performance at London’s Underworld illustrated this approach, with the set spanning the entire catalog and showcasing the raw energy that fans expect.
In December 2025, Momsen and the band released a holiday EP titled Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas. The reworked version of “Where Are You Christmas?” reached number one on the Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, marking the band’s first holiday chart success. The EP was distributed through Fearless and was made available on vinyl and digital platforms.
Momsen’s visibility expanded this year through high‑profile appearances. She performed at the 2026 MusiCares Person of the Year Gala, honoring Mariah Carey, alongside acts such as the Foo Fighters. Earlier, she shared the stage with Soundgarden at the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, a collaboration that highlighted her versatility as a vocalist.
The band is preparing for a headlining tour that will begin in North America during the summer of 2026. Scheduled stops include New Orleans, Dallas, and Los Angeles before the tour concludes in Europe. The tour follows a two‑year stint on the AC/DC Power Up tour, during which The Pretty Reckless served as a supporting act. Ticket sales for the new tour are expected to open in late spring, with dates announced through the band’s official website and major ticketing partners.
At present, the band’s focus is on the Dear God release and the accompanying tour. No additional releases or collaborations have been announced beyond the holiday EP and the forthcoming album. Fans can anticipate the album’s availability on streaming services and physical formats on June 26, 2026, and can book tickets for the tour once dates are finalized.
