Surprise Reunion Performance and Side Projects
Alabama Shakes initially reunited in December 2024 for a surprise performance in their home state of Alabama. Howard, originally scheduled to perform as a solo act, stunned the audience by bringing her bandmates on stage, marking their first performance together in over seven years.
In the meantime, Howard has also been exploring other musical ventures. Her hardcore side project, Kumite, debuted with a live performance in Nashville this past January, featuring members of the Nashville hardcore band Second Spirit.

With the tour announcement and potential new music on the horizon, Alabama Shakes’ return is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated events in the 2025 music calendar. Fans can expect a nostalgic yet fresh experience as the band rekindles their signature sound on stage once again.
