Skid Row<\/a> have revealed their new singer, announced a batch of 2027 tour dates and shared a cover of\u00a0a classic rock hit\u00a0as their very first release with the new lineup.<\/p>\n After launching an open audition for a new\u00a0singer earlier this year, the band found fellow New Jersey native Justin Sargent, who’s now their new frontman. They spent months deliberating, spending time and rehearsing with Sargent before finalizing their decision.<\/p>\n The band parted ways with<\/a> previous vocalist Erik Gronwall<\/a> in 2024 after a two-year stint. Lzzy Hale<\/a> of Halestorm<\/a> temporarily filled in and played a few shows with the group that year, but now Sargent is their official new singer.<\/p>\n Co-founder Rachel Bolan<\/a> said of Sargent, “Honestly, for me, it felt like he had been here from the beginning as soon as he walked in the room. He was one of us. A lifer. Then he sang with so much power and conviction, it blew me away. It was amazing.”<\/p>\n Dave “Snake” Sabo<\/a> added that he had a strong feeling about Sargent instantly, praising how “His voice, his attitude, his demeanor” all fit with what they were looking for.<\/p>\n “I’ve been singing Skid Row songs for years, but never imagined I’d actually be joining the band! It’s an incredible honor to be part of something with such a legendary history,” Sargent said.<\/p>\n “The chemistry and energy we\u2019ve found together over the past several months has been amazing. I have tremendous respect for the band\u2019s legacy, but I\u2019m even more excited about what lies ahead. I can\u2019t wait to get out there, connect with the fans and give them everything I’ve got. Let’s go!”<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0The 14 Biggest Rock + Metal Tours Announced for 2027 So Far<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The band’s 2027 tour dates mark\u00a0their first time hitting the road with Sargent.
