Matchbox Twenty announced their first new album in 11 years and shared its lead single, “Wild Dogs (Running In A Slow Dream).”

The new album, Where The Light Goes, is scheduled for release on May 26 via Atlantic Records.

The album was produced by Gregg Wattenberg with band members Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook.

The pop-rock band that has sold more than 40 million records has also announced a 50+ date spring/summer tour.

Produced by Live Nation, the “Slow Dream Tour” will begin on May 16 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, and conclude on August 6 at Chicago’s Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre.

The “Slow Dream Tour” will feature support from Platinum-selling singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson for the first half of the tour and chart-topping singer-songwriter/producer Ben Rector on the second half.
