Skillet announces new single “Scream” and fall 2026 tour

SKILLET has announced its new single, “Scream,” will arrive July 10, alongside the launch of its upcoming Comatose: 20 Years, Still Screaming Tour.

For the new music, the band returned to familiar ground.

“We went back to Memphis and worked with a producer who knew the band before we’d made our first record,” says frontman John Cooper. “Life has taken some great turns, but it’s also taken some painful turns. Now we’re here, and we still have more of a story to tell. The music kept getting heavier, and I said, ‘We’ve got to go all-in.'”

“When we released our 2006 album, COMATOSE, we all had a feeling that we were making something special,” recalls Cooper. “What we didn’t know is that the album would change the trajectory of the band’s career. It defined our sound, our message, and propelled the band into a much bigger level of notoriety. But most importantly, it resonated with all kinds of people from all walks of life. At every show, someone tells me that this record helped them through the darkest times of their life. That is why we wanted to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Comatose by doing something we have never done—commemorating the album by dedicating a large portion of the show to these songs that are so meaningful to the band and so many others. Some of them we have played a thousand times. Others we have never played. We are excited to perform them alongside our catalog on this once in a lifetime tour.”
