Sturgill Simpson, performing as Johnny Blue Skies with his band the Dark Clouds, has revealed details of their second album, Mutiny After Midnight, set for release on March 13 via Atlantic Outpost in physical formats only. The record, recorded spontaneously at Easy Eye Sound in Nashville, aims to create a groove-centered dance album addressing themes of global darkness and personal love. It follows the 2024 debut Passage Du Desir and Simpson's last release under his own name, 2021's The Ballad of Dood & Juanita.
Sturgill Simpson, performing as Johnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds, addressed fan backlash over ticket prices for his upcoming 'Mutiny for the Masses' tour. In an Instagram post, he insisted that prices remain the same as last year except for a $10 increase on general admission pit tickets. He attributed complaints to inflation and scalpers while noting bigger venues allow more lower-priced seats.
