- “Watch Me Break” takes aim at music industry pressures.
- The anniversary tour’s second leg begins a day before the album release.

## Summary

Staind have announced a second North American leg of their “Break the Cycle 25th Anniversary Tour”, starting on 4 March 2027 in Manchester, New Hampshire. The dates coincide with the release of the band’s new album, *The Space Between the Darkness and the Light*, due the following day, and follow the arrival of its new single, “Watch Me Break”.

Frontman Aaron Lewis said the album centres on the struggle between darkness and light, with some songs addressing God. He described the single as a response to pressures the music industry places on people; it shifts from a spoken growl to a melodic chorus and screamed verse. The 10-track album includes “Ghosts”, released last month and now in the Top 10 of the Mainstream Rock chart; the tour runs through 16 April, with Seether, Hoobastank and Hinder joining on most dates.
