The Maine share emphatic new album update, more tour dates

The Maine frontman John O’Callaghan lobbed some decisive-sounding news today when he logged onto Twitter and launched a simple but exciting five-word tweet. And that tweet contained some important news for fans of the musician and his lovely band of Arizona rockers. Can you guess what development the Maine have on the horizon?

If you answered, “Their new album is probably finished,” you’re correct! “ALBUM NUMBER SEVEN IS DONE,” O’Callaghan emphatically tweeted on Thursday. The post was appended with the hashtag #longlivethemaine.

All that means we’re right around the corner from the follow-up to last year’s Lovely Little Lonely. (Back in August, the Maine revealed that the Lovely Little Lonely era was “dead” with the announcement of a one-off celebration show.)

And if that’s not enough, the band also added some South American tour dates to their upcoming globetrotting trek. See the full list of upcoming cities and dates from the group down below, and sound off in the comments section.
