Hoobastank comeback and Brazil tour

Overview

In July 2026 the American rock band Hoobastank released “How Do You Sleep?”, their first original material in eight years. Frontman Doug Robb said the track emerged after a batch of songs was sent to longtime producer Howard Benson, who felt it captured the band’s early‑2000s sound. The group emphasized writing for their own enjoyment rather than audience reaction and planned to debut the song live at the Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach.

A few weeks later, in early August, Hoobastank announced a six‑date tour of Brazil for November 2026. The Brazilian leg will feature the new single and marks the band’s first visit to the country in almost 11 years. Guest vocalist Aléxia will join the first five shows, while local acts Di Ferrero and Dead Fish will open in São Paulo. The tour runs from 1 November in Vila Velha to 8 November in Nova Iguaçu, highlighting the band’s renewed activity and international outreach.
