Midland is back with their third studio album, Stages, set for June 12, 2026 via Blue Highway Records. The trio — Mark Wystrach, Jess Carson, and Cameron Duddy — delivers 10 tracks that honor classic honky-tonk while staying rooted in the present. Here is everything country fans need to know about the Midland Stages album.

What Is the Midland Stages Album?

Stages is Midland’s third full-length studio album and the follow-up to their acclaimed 2019 release Let It Roll. Produced by Trent Willmon and recorded in Nashville, the album captures the electricity of live performance — from the honky-tonks where Midland built their name to the amphitheaters they now headline. The title is a tribute to every stage of life the band has lived since forming in 2013.
