By Dani Reyes, November 14, 2026

Extreme have set Paris Rising, a live album recorded at Salle Pleyel in Paris on December 7, 2023, for February 5, 2027, via earMUSIC. The first song from it, a live "Get the Funk Out," is out November 13, 2026, with a video.

Atom Splitter's release calls it "THE FIRST LIVE ALBUM TO FEATURE SONGS FROM ALL SIX EXTREME ALBUMS," and describes "a live album that spans their entire career."

The show

The set was captured during the band's tour for SIX, their 2023 album. The lineup is Gary Cherone on vocals, Nuno Bettencourt on guitar, Pat Badger on bass and Kevin Figueiredo on drums. The release counts 22 tracks and more than 100 minutes, running from a medley of songs from the 1989 debut to seven from SIX, including "Rise," "#Rebel" and "Banshee." Apple's preorder page lists 23 entries, adding a closing "Outro."

"Get the Funk Out" comes from Pornograffitti, which the release says went double platinum. The live version runs 5:53 on Apple. The video was directed and edited by Julien Metternich.

What the band said

"And when it comes to Paris, for over 40 years, it has always been a second home to us," Bettencourt says in the release. "One of the greatest audiences in the world and that's why we chose it."

Cherone adds, "The people of France always Rise to the occasion!"

Formats

The release lists a limited 2CD plus Blu-ray, a limited 2CD plus DVD, a 2CD jewel case for the US and UK, black and mint green 180g 3LP gatefolds, and a signed 3LP.

My read

A live record pitched as spanning every album is a smart way to sell the whole catalog, not just the hits. Picking "Get the Funk Out" as the first taste, over the Billboard No. 1 everyone knows, puts what the release calls "a band favorite" up front.
