In 2026, 10,000 Maniacs will mark an extraordinary milestone—45 years as one of alternative rock’s most influential and enduring forces. From college radio trailblazers to platinum-selling pioneers, the band has carved out a legacy defined by poetic storytelling, socially conscious lyrics, and a sound that continues to resonate across generations. With over 10 million records sold and a catalog spanning more than a dozen acclaimed albums and EPs, 10,000 Maniacs shows no signs of slowing down. This fall, Rhino will release Candy Everybody Wants—a definitive box set celebrating their groundbreaking Elektra years of the '80s and '90s. This follows the 2024 reissue of their famous MTV unplugged performance which featured versions of many of their hit songs including These Are Days, Trouble me, Like the Weather, What's the Matter Here, More Than This and Because the Night. In early 2026, the band will debut Dawn Chorus, their first album of new material in 12 years, ushering in an exciting new chapter of creative rebirth. Expect a rich blend of all of the above music on the headline stage in January.
