Following a triumphant return in 2024 after a decade-long hiatus, The Fray continue their next chapter with the release of their highly anticipated new album, A Light That Waits, arriving March 13. The album’s title track will be released January 23, marking the band’s first full-length body of new music in years and signaling a renewed creative era defined by emotional clarity and cinematic songwriting.

The multi-Platinum-selling band, comprised of lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Joe King, guitarist Dave Welsh, and drummer Ben Wysocki, rose to prominence in the early 2000s with a soul-searching alt-rock sound that was both expansive and intimate. Over the course of their career, The Fray have earned four GRAMMY Award nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, multiple Billboard Top 10 hits, and a devoted global fanbase. Their breakout single, “How to Save a Life,” is RIAA Diamond-certified, spent 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, and became a defining anthem through its association with ABC’s Emmy-winning series Grey’s Anatomy.

Praised by Rolling Stone for their “stick-in-your-head hooks and eloquent narratives” and by the Los Angeles Times for their “melodically rich” songwriting, the band’s 2005 debut album How to Save a Life is RIAA-certified 4x Platinum in the U.S. and remains one of the best-selling digital debuts of all time. In support of A Light That Waits, The Fray will launch their new North American run, the Summer of Light Tour, with special guest Dashboard Confessional, kicking off in Canada this May and continuing throughout the summer.
