Slash and Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators have announced a new album, “Flying Blind,” along with a 2027 world tour. The band has also released the album’s title track.
“Flying Blind,” the group’s fifth album, is set for release Feb. 26, 2027, on Gibson Records. The album follows their 2022 release, “4.” Slash’s most recent project, “Orgy of the Damned”—a blues covers album featuring multiple collaborators—came out in 2024.
“It’s a really fun, kind of spontaneous rock ’n’ roll record,” Slash said in a statement. “It’s very straightforward and down-to-earth and raw.”
Myles Kennedy praised Slash’s songwriting. “He’s an incredible riff writer,” Kennedy said. “He also comes up with simple chord progressions that are very compelling for melodies. It works and it’s timeless.”
The tour begins in Latin America in early April 2027 and continues with a North American leg starting April 23 in Reno, Nevada. The group will play shows and festivals across Europe through June and July.
Tickets go on sale Oct. 9. Fans can purchase them via Slash’s official website.

1. Avarice and Greed
2. Good Time Girl
3. Thrill Seeker
4. One of Your Kind
5. Flying Blind
6. Looking for a Miracle
7. Sweet Kill
