June 2026 promises to be a reissue-heavy month, but some new releases stand out.

Yes returns with their 24th studio album, Aurora. Stalwart guitarist Steve Howe was joined on these sessions by keyboardist Geoff Downes and bassist Billy Sherwood, who both had earlier Yes stints in the ’80s and ’90s. Frontman Jon Davison and drummer Jay Schellen complete the lineup.

Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs are set to release Mission of Mercy, the fourth album from the former Tom Petty guitarist. Guests include Kate Pierson of the B-52’s. Campbell’s band also features fellow Heartbreakers alum Steve Ferrone. They’ll tour throughout the summer in support of the new LP.

Who’s Issuing New Rock Records in June 2026?

June’s packed slate of reissues includes a limited-edition box set of Metallica‘s ReLoad, with previously unreleased material including demos, rough mixes, videos and live recordings. The original LP was released almost 30 years ago as the sequel to 1996’s Load. Both albums were recorded at the same sessions.

The latest Pink Floyd compilation arrives with a twist hinted at by its name. 8-Tracks includes seven of their best-known ’70s songs along with the full-length version of “Pigs on the Wing,” previously only available on the obscure 8-track version of 1977’s Animals.

Cream‘s only U.S. chart-topping album, 1968’s Wheels of Fire, also returns in as an expanded 5CD reissue with previously unreleased recordings. The late-’60s supergroup included Eric Clapton at a fiery peak, ever-inventive drummer Ginger Baker and hard-charging singing bassist Jack Bruce.
