In late July 2026, the American pop-rock band Train announced the upcoming release of its twelfth studio album, ‘Mad Dog in the Fog’, scheduled for August 28. Lead vocalist Pat Monahan stated the record serves as a tribute to the band’s origins, with the title referencing a historic San Francisco bar where the group first performed. By late August, the album was officially released via Columbia Records. The 12-song collection marks the group’s first full-length project since 2022’s ‘AM Gold’. The album’s title honors a historic neighborhood bar in San Francisco’s Lower Haight district; Monahan noted that the venue’s owner, Cyril Hackett, was an early supporter of the band. Lyrically, the album reflects Monahan’s personal journey from Erie, Pennsylvania, to Los Angeles and San Francisco. This trajectory is reflected in tracks such as ‘Pennsylvania Turnpike’ and ‘City of Angels’. Other notable songs include ‘To Gloria’, ‘The Weekend’, and ‘Tired of Looking Down’. To mark the release, the band held a special block party concert in San Francisco. The group is also continuing its ‘Drops of Jupiter: 25 Years in The Atmosphere’ tour, and a physical LP release is expected in November 2026. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-31: Train releases twelfth studio album ‘Mad Dog in the Fog’ The pop rock band Train has released ‘Mad Dog in the Fog’, their twelfth studio album, featuring 12 tracks that reflect the band's history and frontman Pat Monahan's personal journey. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/train-releases-twelfth-studio-album-mad-dog-in-the-fog ### 2026-08-27: Train releases 12th studio album ‘Mad Dog in the Fog’ The band Train has released its 12th studio album, ‘Mad Dog in the Fog’, a musical tribute to San Francisco, with a physical LP release set for November 2026. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/train-releases-12th-studio-album-mad-dog-in-the-fog ### 2026-07-30: Train Announces 12th Album 'Mad Dog in the Fog' for Aug. 28 Release Train's 12th studio album 'Mad Dog in the Fog' releases on Aug. 28 2026, honoring the San Francisco bar where they first played. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/train-announces-12th-album-mad-dog-in-the-fog-for-aug-28-release --- Cite as: Train band twelfth album release.
