Multi-platinum and chart-topping hard rock outfit BAD WOLVES issued their new single and music video "Paint It Red " via Better Noise Music at the top of the summer. It served as the band's first release of 2026 and the opening salvo for new singer KILLBOY (Sara Skinner), who made her fiery debut as the band's new vocalist with the track.

Today, the band has announced it will support SKILLET on the band's forthcoming Fall 2026 headline tour. Escape the Fate are also set to appear. The trek will serve as Killjoy's live debut in her new role as front woman, as well. Prepare for her to join her bandmates in laying waste to stages across the U.S. It's a live baptism you won't want to miss, as it also marks the live debut of "Paint It Red" and Killboy putting her stamp on fan-favorites and the band's catalog of hits.

"John, AJ, Derek, and I are ready to get out there and bring this new era of Bad Wolves to the stage along with some of the songs you've known and loved over the years. I can't wait to finally meet the Wolves!"

ABOUT BAD WOLVES:
BAD WOLVES continue to break all of the rules, merging mind-numbing riffs and rhythms with massive, stadium-size melodies. This uncanny fusion of finesse and fire has quietly cemented the Nashville-based band as a multi-platinum powerhouse. Founded by John Boecklin in 2018, the quartet show sno signs of stopping or slowing down, either. Thus far, they have garnered a 3x-Platinum single and two Gold singles in addition to scoring 6 No. 1 entries at radio and gathering billions of streams. Beyond acclaim from Billboard, Outburn, Loudwire, and more, the group has stood out as a presence versatile enough to collaborate with either Daughtry or Ice Nine Kills. Beyond touring with Papa Roach, Volbeat, Hollywood Undead, and more, they have sold out successive headline tours. Welcoming KILLBOY on the microphone in 2026, they blow the hinges off on their next era with the new single "Paint It Red" — with much more to come.
