France\u2019s high\u2011voltage hard rockers HIGHWAY<\/strong> proudly announce that their long\u2011awaited sixth studio album, “Last Call for Rock N Roll,” i<\/strong>s officially out now as of April 24th 2026, via label Rock City Music<\/strong>, and its release is accompanied by their brand\u2011new video for the deeply emotional single \u201cMayday.\u201d<\/strong>\u200b
\u200b
After the acoustic detour of The Journey (2022), HIGHWAY <\/strong>are back in full electric force, revved up, re-energised, and ready to reclaim their place among Europe\u2019s new wave of classic hard rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In stark contrast to the album\u2019s high\u2011octane anthems, \u201cMayday\u201d <\/strong>strips everything down to voice and guitar, echoing the intimacy of Simon & Garfunkel. The track is a raw, vulnerable tribute to the passing of a loved one, written as a cathartic scream of pain, love, and memory. It\u2019s not a power ballad. It\u2019s a moment of truth.
\u200b
The accompanying video amplifies the song\u2019s emotional weight, offering fans a rare glimpse into the personal experiences that shaped the album\u2019s lyrical core.

“Last Call for Rock N Roll” <\/strong>is a rallying cry for a world in chaos, twelve brand\u2011new tracks that fuse power, melody, and emotion with the timeless spirit of classic hard rock. Produced and mixed by Brett Caldas\u2011Lima (Ayreon, Devin Townsend, Megadeth), <\/strong>the album was meticulously crafted over four months at Tower Studio to achieve a sound that is rich, organic, and explosively dynamic.
\u200b
From the electrifying opener \u201cLast Call (For Rock N\u2019 Roll)\u201d to the arena\u2011ready \u201cHi\u2011Way,\u201d the swagger of \u201c\u00a1Bang Bang!\u201d, and the AC\/DC\u2011inspired punch of \u201cD.K\/D.C\u201d, the album showcases the full spectrum of HIGHWAY\u2019<\/strong>s identity, authentic, melodic, passionate, and fiercely alive.
\u200b
The album also marks a turning point for HIGHWAY<\/strong> with the arrival of two new members, Cerise Pouillard (bass), known from the acclaimed AC\/DC tribute Ladies Ballbreaker and Florian Arnaud (guitar), a powerhouse musician who completes the long\u2011awaited return of twin guitars. Both contribute backing vocals, elevating the band\u2019s signature harmonies to new heights.
\u200b
\u200b\u201cWith this lineup, the live sound is going to be massive. Big vocals, big energy, big production. You\u2019re not ready,\u201d<\/em> adds guitarist Ben Chambert.
\u200b
Formed in 1999 by brothers Ben and Romain Chambert after being \u201cthunderstruck\u201d by AC\/DC\u2019s Live at Donington, HIGHWAY <\/strong>have spent more than two decades refining its craft. With over 500 shows across Europe, support slots for Michael Schenker Group, Gotthard, Jeff Scott Soto, Kissin\u2019 Dynamite, Nashville Pussy, and more, and a growing reputation, the band has become a defining force in Europe\u2019s modern classic hard rock revival.
\u200b
\u200b\u201cThis is our most personal, emotional, and mature record. We took the time we never had before, and we\u2019re incredibly proud of every detail,\u201d<\/em> adds Ben.
\u200b
Exploring themes of love, loss, resilience, nostalgia, and the pursuit of freedom. “Last Call for Rock\u2019N\u2019Roll”<\/strong> blends the band\u2019s roots, AC\/DC, Queen, Aerosmith, Guns N\u2019 Roses, with their own melodic identity and modern production.
\u200b
\u200b“Last Call for Rock\u2019N\u2019Roll”<\/strong> is now available via the label Rock City Music, with physical distribution
by FTF-Music and digitally from Virgin Music.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“THANK YOU TO HIGHWAY WHO SUPPORTED US ON OURMISSION EUROPEAN TOUR. A GREAT BAND WHO RECEIVED A SUPERB REACTION FROM OUR FANS.” – <\/em>Michael Schenker<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“IT WAS A PLEASURE HAVING YOU GUYS! YOU TRULY LIVE THE ESSENCE OF ROCK N ROLL” – <\/em>Jeff Scott Soto<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Entertaining rock music that\u2019s fun and appeals to a wide range of musical tastes. Party music for fans of everything from Queen to the Beatles!\u201d – MyRevelations <\/em>\u200b
\u200b
\u200b“I really love this album; it really does have everything that your rock \u2018n\u2019 roll heart desires. Last Call For Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll represents the past, present and future of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. We are all in safe hands with HighWay.” – CGCM Rock Radio
\u200b<\/em>\u200b
\u200b“With this Last Call For Rock’n Roll, HighWay is strong. Throughout the 12 tracks, we feel the hard work put in by the musicians. The production really honors it. The 9\/10 is easily imposed because this album is extremely enjoyable. Only one thing to hope for, that this is not their last call for rock’n roll, and that they continue to spread the good word in this way!” – Rock Meeting<\/em>\u200b
\u200b
\u200b“\u201cLast Call For Rock\u2019 Roll\u201d is the album that made me stop and pay attention to a band I should have discovered long before. For those who have been following them for years, it will probably be confirmation that the band has never been so sharp. For those who arrive now, like me, it is a magnificent gateway to 25 years of history that has suddenly become impossible to ignore. Let it not be the last call. Honest, urgent and without complexes. A great HighWay record!” – World of Metal Mag<\/em>\u200b
\u200b
\u200b“My preferences are \u00ab Go Go Go\u00bb, more than addictive and designed to be covered live by the public, \u00ab Let Me\u00bb, epic as can be and endowed in my opinion with the best solo of the album, as well as the hit \u00ab Hi-Way \u00bb, wickedly groovy and powerful, notably thanks to Sam’s bass. Excellent feedback for Highway, which shows us that even more than 20 years after their debut, the S\u00e9tois still have something under their belt. Lovers of rich and varied hard rock, go for it: it’s a safe bet.” Pavillon 666 Webzine
\u200b
“As they say in wild west saloons soaked in rock, sweat, smoke and beer, with HighWay it plays serious!!With this Last Call For Rock’n Roll, HighWay is strong. Throughout the 12 tracks we feel the great work put in by the musicians. The production really honors it.” – Vinyl Times
\u200b
“This track (Bang Bang) fires with brash confidence while questioning the cost of excess. Beneath the swagger sits a sharp self-interrogation about fame, wealth, image, and the anxiety of choosing one path over another. Repetition becomes pressure, mirroring a mind spiralling under desire and doubt. It lands as both celebration and warning, pairing arena-sized hooks with a knowing sense of consequence that gives the noise purpose rather than empty bravado and lasting emotional weight beyond the chorus. To close, this single and forthcoming album won\u2019t gather dust in any collection, and will keep feet tapping and heads bouncing from sofa to stage. So why not clear a space, and give Highway a try for 2026. Star Rating 9\/10” – Stargazer Music Magazine<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
