2024 is upon us and it is always fun anticipating what new albums will come out in the year. Since today would normaly be a Friday New Release post, let’s look at the new releases coming our way in 2024. There are quite a few we already know about, but some haven’t been officially announced or even a date set yet.
Last year, there were a few artist I was hoping would release an album that might have or might not have released one. It is always fun to hope for new music from these bands, but sometimes there are disappointments. Here are the ones I was hoping to get new albums from last year and what actually happened…
- Def Leppard – Too soon for a new album, but give us The Collection Vol. 4!! We still didn’t get The Collection Vol. 4, but we got a new album…sort of. We got ‘Drastic Symphonies’ which was a compilation with a symphony orchestra added and no, not good.
- Kiss – I will keep this on the list until I die!! At least give us another Soundboard LP. We did get a new Soundboard LP, but only one this year and for the Poughkeepsie show in 1984 with Mark St. John and that is really cool!!
- Guns ‘N Roses – Rumors, Rumors, Rumors!! Will we ever get a new album! Nope, but some singles…nothing yet.
- Aldo Nova – He keeps talking about a 2CD set for over 3 years and still nothing much, but will he get around to releasing the full Life & Times of Eddie Gage? I hope so. And again, more talk but no 2 CD album for The Life & Times of Eddie Gage…when Aldo? When? But he did start touring again.
- Ace Frehley – It is time for a new album…no Origins, Vol 3…a new album!! No new album, but one was announced and will be here in early 2024!! YEAH!!
- Bon Jovi – A new album WITH RICHIE SAMBORA!!! Nope, still nothing. A lot of talk about a Reunion, but no new album. Something’s brewing though as their 40th Anniversary gets ready to roll around.
Okay, are there albums I want to see this year from some of my favorite bands that haven’t been announced or in some cases even rumored? Of course there are. These are the bands I want new albums from this year…but it might not happen.
- Def Leppard – It is time for The Collection Vol. 4!! Come on boys, give it to us!! Or a new album…whichever you want.
- Kiss – I will keep this on the list until I die!! Time to start up more Soundboard LPs or another box set…give us something!
- Guns ‘N Roses – Rumors, Rumors, Rumors!! Will we ever get a new album!
- Aldo Nova – He keeps talking about a 2CD set for over 3 years and still nothing much, but will he get around to releasing the full Life & Times of Eddie Gage? I hope so.
- Bon Jovi – A new album WITH RICHIE SAMBORA!!!
- Robbie Williams – Hey Robbie, time for a new pop album…no more Trance please!!
From what I have gathered around the internet, here are the bands that should have new albums out in 2024 or are rumored, but no dates announced yet. The ones I would give a try will be highlighted in Blue. The ones with Dates Announced are at the bottom of this post. The list is building up nicely!!
