Tyketto

The 1865 presents by arrangement with OnPoint Touring  

Hard rocking songsmiths, TYKETTO, enter 2026 with the release of their 6th studio
album, Closer To The Sun, through Silver Lining Music on March 20th 2026, and with
it, unleash some of their best, supremely crafted rock anthems celebrating the return
of this criminally underrated quintet originally founded in New York. 

The first video and single taken from Closer To The Sun, ‘Higher Than High' is a
burst of swing and swagger that perfectly captures Tyketto’s deep appreciation for
the emancipation that music can bring. That spirit rings out unmistakably as vocalist
and founding member Danny Vaughn roars: “In the space you can learn to
heal/There is music that helps you feel/Higher than high”.  

“Higher Than High is, in my estimation, classic Tyketto, where difficulties in life are
seen and named but hope and, more importantly, music, is the thing that gets us
through,” comments Danny Vaughn. “It's the first single from our new album which we think is going to be a real favorite with the fans. The song and the album say
‘play me loudly and take me for a drive.’” 

Throughout Closer To The Sun, Tyketto speak to the listener about true life loves,
losses and pleasures. From the title track’s triumphant, anthemic appreciation of
love’s power, to the punchy rawness built to make fists rise and hearts race of “Hit
Me Where It Hurts”, to the power balladry of “The Picture”, Tyketto continue to
confidently stride the same musical terrain as the likes of Whitesnake and Aerosmith,
with the added bonus of being fresh to the ears of many. 

Joined by Harry Scott Elliott on guitar, Ged Rylands on keyboards, Chris Childs
(Thunder) on bass and Johnny Dee (Doro) on drums, Vaughn leads a lineup that
brings exceptional performances and undeniable fire to every track, reaffirming
Tyketto as one of rock’s most respected and enduring names. Closer To The
Sun was recorded across multiple studios in the UK and Europe, including Flip Flop
Studios and the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales. In support of the album’s
release, Tyketto have already announced a string of dates for 2026, kicking off at
Planet Rock’s Winter’s End festival in Porthcawl, Wales—and with a full UK Tour set
for the spring and European shows to be revealed soon, fans should keep their eyes
peeled for what’s coming next.
