Shinedown have released a monster of a music video for their #1 song, “Dance, Kid, Dance”. The music video, which was filmed in Brooklyn, NY brings the viewer into a dark underground world of pure rock fervor and dance. The video opens up with concert goers trying to break into a vending machine to take “the pills (that) will make you dance” and building into a nonstop crescendo of a mixture of rock and pure adrenaline. Not to mention, the video features the members of Shinedown doing exactly what they do best – bring the high energy with a killer live performance.

On the new music video and its creative vision Brent Smith said: “For the video, we really wanted to focus on the dancers. Every one of them brought so much energy to the set, and it was amazing to watch and be a part of. The song doesn’t let up, so it was super important that our performance as a band matched the intensity of the choreography. When it came to the location, everyone agreed that NYC was the place. The backdrop of the city, and the authenticity of the dance culture was extremely important. One of the coolest things about the video for us as a band, is that every time you watch it you see something new, and exciting. We had an absolute blast making it and we hope the fans love it as much as we do.”

The video was directed by Lewis Cater, choreographed by Julissa Bond, and edited by Samuel Halleen.


Up next the band will kick off their Dance, Kid, Dance Tour on April 25 in Des Moines, Iowa. The 36-date run is one of the largest run of shows (and venues) the band has ever put on. It will be the first time the band has ever headlined some of the country’s most legendary venues including Madison Square Garden (July 20), Boston’s TD Garden (July 19), LA’s Kia Forum (August 3), New Orleans’ Smoothie King (May 6) and more. Joining them on the tour are Beartooth & Bush (on select dates) and Morgan Wade for all shows. See full tour dates below and at shinedown.com.

Recently Brent Smith sat down with Beartooth’s own Caleb Shomo and talked about how excited they were to be going on tour in an Off The Record video series. Filmed at Henson Studios in Los Angeles the two talked about the origins of each band, how the bands got to know about one another, growing into being an artist, and about what fans can expect on the new Dance, Kid, Dance tour. Not to mention they touch on some of rock’s favorite’s including Slipknot, Gwar, Papa Roach, Parkway Drive, Iron Maiden and more. Check out the “Off The Record” interview below:


For the tour, Shinedown has teamed up with Musicians On Call and will be donating $1 for every ticket sold for the tour. As the nation’s leading provider of live music in hospitals, Musicians On Call (MOC) has delivered the healing power of music to patients, families, and caregivers in healthcare environments for 25 years. More than one million people across all 50 states have experienced the joys of live music in the hospital setting through MOC’s bedside, virtual, and streaming programs. MOC Volunteers perform live for children and adults facing any health challenge, including Veterans recovering in VA facilities, family members supporting loved ones in need, and healthcare workers caring for patients.
