2026 release. After a 12-year hiatus, The Fray returns with A Light That Waits- their first LP written entirely as a trio. Coming off a sold-out 20th-anniversary global tour and the RIAA Diamond certification of 'How to Save a Life,' the band is entering 2026 with more momentum than ever. When Joe King, Ben Wysocki, and Dave Welsh of The Fray take the wide view of the band's nearly 25-year career, they see a whole lot of stars in the sky - some representing songs that have arrived and made their mark, and others that have yet to come. The multiplatinum-selling group are ready to add a few more with their new album A Light That Waits, The Fray's first full-length release in more than a decade and the first with the group's core three members co-writing every track.
