Theory of a Deadman’s Tyler Connolly joined Loudwire Nights on Thursday (Oct. 10) to dive deep into the band’s upcoming unplugged tour — and he additionally shared some hints as to when followers can count on new music.

“The whole record is pretty much written,” Connolly revealed to host Chuck Armstrong about Theory’s follow-up to 2023’s Dinosaur. “So, we have to figure out timing. The timing, you know, honestly comes down to touring because we don’t want to put out a record or put out a song and then just sit at home.”

Connolly stated the band has to take a break from touring to be able to get the album prepared and since of that, he thinks the autumn of 2025 is a real looking timeframe for when followers may hear the brand new report.

“[In a] perfect world, we’d have something maybe out in the summer and then have a fall tour or something. It’s tough. We’d love to just continuously tour but we have to let the dust settle for a little bit sometimes.”

Theory of a Deadman’s Unplugged Tour

Before any new music comes out, Theory of a Deadman will hit the street for an in depth unplugged tour that kicks off on Oct. 18 at The Factory in St. Louis.

“I think we’re going to pull some people onstage, from the crowd,” Connolly stated concerning the tour.

“We’ve never done that before, so we’re going to have a couch or some chairs and pull some people up. I think we’re going to have a bar…I might make some people some drinks. We’ll try to find some cool stuff to do, to be interactive and not just be presenting something people can watch. They can be a part of it.”

As for the music they’re going to play onstage, Connolly stated the band hopes to channel the vibes of MTV Unplugged.

“We’re going to play some songs we haven’t played in a long time, maybe ever,” he admitted. “But it’s tough, it’s tough to pick a set and then figure out there’s some songs where I’m just like, ‘Guys, I don’t think I can pull this off acoustic.’”

Ultimately, Connolly appeared most excited for the intimacy this tour will give followers — one thing they are not used to with Theory’s regular massive rock exhibits.

“You can’t hide,” he stated about enjoying acoustically.

“This has to sound good. There’s no way to mask it … I think people will be very impressed if we can pull out some stuff acoustically with three-part harmonies and stuff. I think people will be like, ‘This is how it should be.’”
