  • 11 - Lady Antebellum changed their name to Lady A (a nickname fans have gave them since they first came out) in the wake of the George Floyd protests, to remove any associations the old name might have had with Civil War history, slavery and the Antebellum South.[7]
  • 19 – Lamb of God released their self-titled album, their first studio album of original material in five years.
  • 23 – Hum released their first studio album in 22 years, Inlet.
  • 26 – Kansas released their first studio album in four years, The Absence of Presence.[9]

  • 10 – Rufus Wainwright released his first studio album in eight years, Unfollow The Rules.[11]
  • 17 - The Chicks, formerly known as the Dixie Chicks, released their first album in fourteen years, Gaslighter. It is also their first album under their new name.

The name change followed criticism that the word had connotations of American slavery.
