ANDY BLACK ANNOUNCES SURPRISE 2025 SOLO TOUR WITH MYSTERIOUS NEW BAND — 20 CITIES, ONE DARK REVIVAL – DATE REVEALED…..Read More……

In a move that has shocked fans and electrified the rock scene, Andy Black has announced his highly anticipated return to the solo stage with a brand-new tour and an enigmatic new band lineup. Titled “One Dark Revival,” the tour will hit 20 cities across North America, kicking off on August 15, 2025 in Los Angeles, CA.

The unexpected announcement dropped early Saturday morning via Andy Black’s social media with a cryptic teaser video featuring flickering candles, Gothic architecture, and a shadowy figure walking through a ruined cathedral. A single whispered phrase echoed through the visual: “The time has come.”

Within minutes, the internet exploded. Hashtags like #OneDarkRevival and #AndyBlackReturns began trending worldwide as fans and media scrambled for details.

The 34-year-old rock icon, best known as the charismatic frontman of Black Veil Brides, has kept his solo career relatively quiet since the release of his critically acclaimed 2019 album The Ghost of Ohio. While he’s continued touring and recording with BVB, his devoted solo fanbase has long hoped for a resurgence of the darker, more theatrical persona he introduced in his solo work.

With One Dark Revival, it looks like they’re about to get exactly that — and more.

According to Black, the tour will feature entirely new material, crafted with a band of “underground legends” whose identities he has yet to fully reveal. So far, only cryptic initials — “M, A, J, and V” — have been shared on the tour’s website, sending fans into a frenzy of speculation. Rumors suggest collaborations with members from bands like In This Moment, Motionless In White, and even Poppy’s live crew — though nothing has been confirmed.

“This isn’t just a tour — it’s a rebirth,” Andy said in a rare voice note posted to Instagram. “We’ve been building something in the shadows. It’s heavy, theatrical, emotional — everything I love about music. And it’s time to share it.”

The One Dark Revival Tour will hit iconic venues like The Fillmore in San Francisco, The Tabernacle in Atlanta, House of Blues in Chicago, and Irving Plaza in New York City, before closing on October 1 in Seattle, WA. Special VIP packages — including meet-and-greet experiences, exclusive pre-show acoustic sets, and limited-edition merch — will be available for die-hard fans.

The announcement also came with a preview of the first single from the upcoming solo album, titled “Cathedrals Burn” — a haunting mix of gothic rock, electronic undertones, and Andy’s signature brooding vocals. The track is expected to drop on all platforms June 30, accompanied by a music video that insiders say “blurs the line between horror short film and music video.”

Music critics are already speculating that Black’s return could shake up the rock scene, which has seen a recent surge in theatrical and genre-blending acts. With younger artists citing Andy Black as a major influence, his comeback might just mark a new era for alternative rock.

“I’ve never been more excited about what I’m creating,” Black added in his announcement. “This tour, this music — it’s the most honest, raw, and cinematic project I’ve ever done.”

Fans are advised to sign up at OneDarkRevival.com to gain early access to tickets, which officially go on sale May 10. With interest at an all-time high and venue capacities ranging from 1,500 to 3,000, many dates are expected to sell out within minutes.

If the teaser and early buzz are any indication, One Dark Revival won’t just be a tour — it’ll be a full-on movement.

Whether you’ve followed Andy Black since his early days or are just discovering the layered depths of his solo artistry, this is a revival you won’t want to miss.
