Today, multi-platinum rock superstars Good Charlotte officially announce their upcoming album Motel Du Cap, out Friday, August 8 via Atlantic Records. The album marks a bold return to their roots while forging new ground as the band readies to deliver their most personal record to date. Motel Du Cap is Good Charlotte’s eighth studio album and comes seven years after their previous release, Generation Rx.
The initial spark for Motel Du Cap was ignited when Good Charlotte played a private gig at the iconic Hotel du Cap in France, for a friend’s wedding in 2023. The surreal beauty of the venue, raw emotion of the occasion, and freedom of performing without expectations lit a fire under the Madden brothers. “It was this wild, once-in-a-lifetime vibe,” Joel recalls. “We were just there to celebrate, no pressure, and it reminded us why we started this—pure, unfiltered connection.” That night became the heartbeat of the album, a love letter to stripping things back and letting the music speak for itself.
The lead single Rejects is out now.
