Parkway Drive has new music on the way, frontman Winston McCall has confirmed in a new interview.
Parkway Drive has new music on the way, Winston McCall says – although it’s not clear when we might get a chance to hear it.
Speaking with Poland’s Pełna Kulturka, the vocalist was asked whether the band was working on new music in the wake of their massive Sydney Opera House show in June.
McCall said (translated): Basically, we planned that exact thing” (to start working on new music) “and then we had a chance to do an Opera House show with the orchestra, which basically took up all of our time. So we are working on new music.
There is new music coming, put it that way. It’s not like we have recorded an album, but focusing on making new music is literally all of the next year for [Parkway Drive]. We’ve said, ‘Okay, we’re not gonna be touring much next year at all. It’s all gonna be about creat[ing] new music.’
In the meantime, there’s gonna be a live album from the Sydney Opera House and a movie coming out of that as well, so people can hear some interesting stuff that we’ve created with that. But brand new songs are definitely the next on the Parkway list.”
Parkway Drive dropped a new track ‘Sacred’ in May, but have otherwise been pretty quiet on the new music front as of late. That’s likely due to the absolutely massive year they’ve been having, including that aforementioned Sydney Opera House performance, and the announcement that their very own festival Park Waves would be making its Australian debut in 2026.
From the sounds of this new interview, Park Waves might be one of the only opportunities to see Parkway Drive live in Australia next year before they knuckle down to work on new material. We’ll have to wait and see to find out.
