Shinedown, who announced a one-night-only acoustic show in London on June 17th, hot on the heels of their appearance at Download Festival just days earlier and have shared a hauntingly beautiful piano version of their radio-smashing hit Three Six Five.
The acoustic evening at Islington Assembly Hall, already sold out, will see frontman Brent Smith and guitarist Zach Myers reimagine classic Shinedown songs in a stripped-back format that promises to highlight the emotional core of their music.
The show marks a return to one of the first venues the band ever played in the UK — a nostalgic and symbolic moment for the duo.
“We’re so excited to come back to the UK for Download Festival,” Zach Myers explains. “We couldn’t just come and do one show and leave… Brent and I have been wanting to do an acoustic show in the UK for quite some time, and we’re glad we finally get to make it happen in one of the venues Shinedown first played when we came to the UK years ago. See ya in London.”
A Celebration of Contrast: Acoustic Calm Meets Tour Chaos
This announcement arrives during the band’s high-voltage Dance, Kid, Dance tour, a 36-date U.S. run featuring massive venues like Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum.
Known for bombastic live shows, pyro and stadium-worthy vocals, Shinedown are now offering their fans a raw and emotionally charged counterpoint.
And if that wasn’t enough, Shinedown also just dropped a hauntingly beautiful piano version of their radio-smashing hit Three Six Five.
Swapping grit for grace, the piano rendition strips back the alt-rock production and instead lets Brent Smith’s unmistakable voice soar in vulnerability and intensity. The original version has already climbed across four major U.S. radio formats, solidifying the bands genre-crossing appeal.
From Global Domination To Intimate Reflection
With 22 #1 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and over 6.5 billion global streams, their dominance in the heavy rock world is undisputed. Yet this latest move underscores what has always made them different — their ability to evolve, surprise and connect on a deeply human level.
Whether it’s the thunderous chaos of Dance, Kid, Dance, the reflective poignancy of A Symptom Of Being Human, or now the stripped intimacy of Three Six Five (Piano Version), Shinedown continue to push boundaries in both sound and soul.
Shinedown Tickets? Too Late
The London acoustic show is very limited in capacity and, unsurprisingly, has already sold out — a testament to the enduring demand for the band’s more personal moments.
With a main stage slot at Download, a sold-out acoustic detour, and a chart-smashing ballad now clothed in piano melancholy, 2025 is shaping up to be another banner year for a band that refuses to rest on their Heavy Metal laurels.
