Alesso just dropped his first single of the year, “FADE,” a dancefloor-ready track with Pendulum, and details for his debut US headlining tour.
There’s no denying the weight behind Alesso’s name. A beloved tastemaker who’s established himself as a standout producer for over a decade, Alesso’s music has successfully crossed multiple genres, with his sound reaching stages worldwide. Recent collaborations with artists like Martin Garrix and Becky Hill have only propelled him forward in the scene. As 2026 kicks into gear, Alesso is already making a statement with the release of a brand new track, “FADE”, created with Australian drum and bass band Pendulum, while also revealing major touring news in the US.
“FADE” beckons listeners to lean in closely as Rob Swire‘s unmistakable vocals carry us through its runtime. Its euphoric melodies, dancefloor-forward sound, and signature rhythm combine effortlessly to create a solid sonic kickoff to the year. With spheres of rock-fueled drum and bass and dance music colliding, both artists’ renowned styles are well reflected. As festival season prepares for launch, “FADE” is set to become a mainstage anthem.
I’ve known Rob and Pendulum for many years, and they’ve held such a special sound. Rob’s voice is so unique that it can really bring a track to life. Working on FADE with them was amazing and I couldn’t be more excited to kick off the new year with this release!
