This fall—and into 2024—RED will be commemorating RATED R (and their 20th anniversary) with an extensive international tour, too. According to Anthony, they couldn’t be happier about the opportunity: “We released DECLARATION a month after the pandemic shutdowns began, so we never got to properly tour it and witness what it could’ve done. With RATED R, we can. We’ve already lined up some European festivals, and what’s really cool is that we’ll be able to headline and offer the complete RED auditory and visual live experience for the first time in years!”

Clearly, there’s never been a better time to be a RED fan. From their stunning debut collection (2006’s End of Silence) to the widely celebrated DECLARATION, RED have repeatedly impressed and innovated. It’s no wonder, then, why their work has garnered numerous awards; coverage in publications such as Loudwire, Rolling Stone, Under the Radar, and Guitar World; appearances in film, TV, and video games; and millions of album sales, streams, and dedicated followers.

“This is our chance to reach some people. We want people to be inspired by the music and what the music stands for. We want people to take responsibility for changing themselves and what’s around them,” Randy concludes.

With RATED R, RED have undoubtedly delivered their most visceral and valuable statement to date.
