This upcoming run marks a significant chapter for the band, following a major shakeup in their lineup earlier this year. In April, the group announced the retirement of longtime guitarist Tony Rombola and drummer Shannon Larkin.
Frontman Sully Erna addressed the departures in a statement at the time, clarifying that the split was amicable.
“[They] decided to retire from the band permanently, on good terms, but for no other reason than to fulfill their desire to live a more simple and quiet life away from touring,” Erna explained. “Their departure marks the end of an era, but it also opens the door for new and exciting possibilities. We want to assure you that Shannon and Tony will always be part of our family, and their contributions will forever echo in our music. We respect their decisions and support them wholeheartedly as they pursue their own individual paths.”
Despite the loss of two core members, Erna and bassist Robbie Merrill committed to keeping the entity alive.
“Robbie and I are also excited to explore new directions, and although we have not made any permanent decisions about who may replace Tony and Shannon, we will be continuing this journey together, and we look forward to sharing the decisions we make with all of you as they happen,” Erna added.
Godsmack had previously kicked off their 2025 touring schedule in Sofia, Bulgaria, back in March.
