Candlebox

Candlebox is an American rock band with a legacy spanning over three decades, known for their significant contributions to the grunge and alternative rock scenes, releasing eight studio albums and achieving critical and commercial success. After releasing their self-titled debut album on July 20, 1993, Candlebox quickly established themselves as a significant force in alternative rock, achieving substantial commercial success with over four million copies sold and peaking at No. 7 on Billboard’s album charts. The band notably became the first successful act for Maverick Records, a label that later signed other notable artists such as Alanis Morissette and Deftones.

Building on this momentum, the band released their second album, ‘Lucy,’ on October 3, 1995, which quickly achieved gold certification and featured singles such as ‘Simple Lessons’ and ‘Understanding.’ Their third album, ‘Happy Pills,’ followed on July 21, 1998, and contributed the song ‘Glowing Soul’ to The Waterboy soundtrack. After a hiatus, Candlebox reunited in 2006 for a North American tour, marking a new chapter in their career. They released ‘Into the Sun’ in 2008, followed by the live CD/DVD ‘Alive in Seattle’ later that same year. In 2010, the band demonstrated their commitment to service by performing for U.S.

Most recently, Candlebox released their acclaimed final album, ‘The Long Goodbye,’ on August 25, 2023. The album’s release was accompanied by the announcement of an extensive ‘The Long Goodbye Tour’ which has been extended into 2024, including their first-ever Australian tour. Throughout summer 2024, the band is set to open for Bush’s ‘Loaded: The Greatest Hits’ tour, sharing the stage with Jerry Cantrell. Looking ahead, original guitarist Peter Klett rejoined the band in February 2025, signaling an exciting evolution for their live performances and an ongoing commitment to their dedicated fanbase.
