Lords Of Acid and Princess Superstar return with new single ‘Karaoke Superstar’
Lords Of Acid have released the new single “Karaoke Superstar” via Metropolis Records. The track features guest vocals by Princess Superstar and is out now with an official video also online.
“Karaoke Superstar” is the first new Lords Of Acid music in eight years, following the band’s most recent studio album “Pretty in Kink” from 2018. We previously reported that the band’s next full-length album is expected later in 2026 and will be the seventh Lords Of Acid studio album, which originally has as working title “Acid Reign“, but since then it has been changed to a yet unknown title.
For many this new single will a big surprise because musically it’s über-commercial.
The new single arrives ahead of the group’s 2026 “Cheeky Freaky” US tour. The tour starts on April 25, 2026 in Las Vegas and continues across the United States through May 31, 2026, with Princess Superstar listed among the tour’s featured acts.
About Lords Of Acid
Lords Of Acid were formed in Antwerp in 1988 by Praga Khan, Olivier Adams and Jade 4U. Musically the project emerged from Belgium’s late-1980s new beat and acid-house scene. Their breakthrough came with the single “I Sit on Acid” in 1988, followed by the debut album “Lust” in 1991.
“Voodoo-U” followed in 1994, “Our Little Secret” in 1997, “Farstucker” in 2000, “Deep Chills” in 2012 and “Pretty in Kink” in 2018. The new yet untitled album follows in late 2026.
Lords Of Acid built their name on a hybrid of acid house, industrial dance, techno and new beat. Lords Of Acid anno 2026 consists of Praga Khan and Olivier Adams, with Carla Harvey active as the present frontwoman on the band’s current cycle.
