Good Kid are officially stepping into their main-character era, and honestly, it feels like one of those “finally” moments the whole internet has been waiting for. After four wildly loved EPs, countless viral moments, and more fan-made animations than most bands could ever dream of, the Toronto crew have announced their debut album, Can We Hang Out Sometime?, landing 3rd April 2026. Yes, it’s real. Yes, we’re already imagining the entire tracklist playing in our heads.
The band kicked things off by sharing a visualiser for their new single Rift, building on the momentum of first single Wall, which fans launched into the stratosphere within a week. We’re talking millions of streams, millions of TikTok views, and the kind of online excitement that only Good Kid seem able to generate without even trying. For a band who once called themselves “the biggest band you’ve never heard of,” the numbers are starting to make that tag feel a bit outdated.
What makes this debut feel huge is how long Good Kid have been laying the groundwork without ever chasing the traditional route. They’ve racked up more than 700 million streams, found themselves in two JUNO nominations, earned a GOLD single with From The Start, and become a staple in gaming culture. They’re one of the only bands who fully embraced being creator-friendly from the beginning, leaving their music DMCA-free and trusting fans to take it and build something new with it. That decision alone has turned MrBeast uploads, Riot Games trailers, Valorant streams, and endless YouTube edits into accidental Good Kid adverts.
The album itself was recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-winning producer John Congleton, which already tells you they’re not playing around. The band say this is their most unfiltered work yet, packed with sounds and ideas that happened in the moment and can’t ever be replicated. They even admit they took some risky swings, but apparently they’re prepared to stand by every single one. Expect the high-energy riffs, expect the bangers, but also expect the band to stretch themselves into something a little stranger, rougher, and more emotional.
And because Good Kid never do anything halfway, they’re taking the album straight on tour for their biggest headline run so far. North America gets the first leg in April, bouncing between major cities with the type of rooms that confirm just how big this fanbase really is. Then in September they head to the UK and Europe for shows that include a stop at London’s Roundhouse, which feels like a milestone moment in itself. Artist presale goes live on 9th December, with general sale following on the 11th, so if you’re planning to go, set the alarms now.
They’re also performing at The Streamer Awards on 6th December alongside Ty Dolla $ign, which is exactly the kind of sentence that sums up Good Kid’s entire rise. They didn’t wait to be welcomed into music industry circles; they built a fanbase on the internet and the gaming world opened the door first. Now they’re stepping into rooms that prove they’ve outgrown the “underrated” tag entirely.
With a full tracklist revealed and months of hype ahead, Can We Hang Out Sometime? already feels like a debut that’s been worth the wait. It’s Good Kid finally hitting the next level, right on their own terms, and taking all of us along for the ride.
