“Live is thrilled to be joining forces with the amazing Collective Soul! The great vibes between our two bands on and offstage is something we have both enjoyed for years, and here we come in 2025! This will be a very special night of music for all of the fans; I know everyone is gonna get rocked and uplifted right along with us…come on out!” – Ed Kowalczyk
“It was August 1994, and we, Collective Soul, were on our way to Woodstock. As our van pulled up to the grounds, another one pulled up beside us and out jumped the band Live. We became immediate friends, exchanging guitar picks with each other as soon as we met. Since that day, the Ed and Ed show has been nothing but pure, genuine friendship, and rock and roll. We’re excited that 31 years later, we still not only enjoy each other’s company, but enjoy playing music. It’s going to be a fun summer sharing it with fans, friends and Live.” – Ed Roland
Tickets will be available starting with artist presales beginning Tuesday, March 18 at 10am local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday, March 21 at 10am local time at livenation.com.
Hailing from Atlanta, GA, Collective Soul celebrated their 30th Anniversary in 2024 with the release of their highly anticipated and critically acclaimed 12th studio album, Here to Eternity, May 17, 2024 on their Fuzze-Flex Records label. It was written and produced by E. Roland and co-produced by Shawn Grove, and recorded at Elvis Presley’s estate in Palm Springs, CA. They’re the only other music artist to ever record at the historical landmark. Very special guest appearances include Paul McCartney guitarist Brian Ray, longtime Sheryl Crow bandleader Peter Stroud, and Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship. With 11 studio albums — including 1995’s self-titled album Collective Soul, which went triple platinum — and eight No. 1 hits under their belt, frontman and chief songwriter Ed Roland is unwaveringly driven in his desire to double down on doing more of what he does best – making music, sweet music, both in the studio and onstage. Seeing eye to eye, and ear to ear, is part of the secret sauce of why Collective Soul continues to both record and play together at an uncompromised level of high quality. They were one of only five artists to have performed at both Woodstock festivals in ’94 and ’99. With electrifying newer material that accompanies the everlasting Collective Soul classic hits like “Shine,” “December,” “The World I Know,” “Heavy,” and “Where The River Flows,” these five fiery rockers are only just getting started with the next phase of their thriving career that has moved millions of records and wow multitudes of fans across the globe.
Live have sold over 23 million albums worldwide and earned two number one albums: Throwing Copper and Secret Samadhi. Their catalog is filled with such gems as “Lightning Crashes,” “I Alone,” “All Over You” and “Lakini’s Juice,” which live on today as classics on rock radio. Throwing Copper—which the band celebrated in 2019 with a deluxe 25th anniversary edition along with a global tour across major festivals, amphitheaters and arenas–produced the band’s biggest single, “Lightning Crashes,” which was No. 1 at Modern Rock radio for ten consecutive weeks. Throwing Copper reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 and eventually surpassed sales of 10 million albums sold, with Rolling Stone honoring the album with placement on their list, “1994: The 40 Best Records From Mainstream Alternative’s Greatest Year.” Secret Samadhi (1997) immediately shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 and eventually went double platinum. The release of the platinum-selling The Distance to Here (1999) turned +LIVE+ into an international powerhouse and moved the band from arenas into stadiums. Live has been and remains today a global concert juggernaut.
One of Canada’s most influential rock bands, Our Lady Peace has shaped the alternative rock landscape for over three decades. With multi-platinum-selling albums and global hits like “Superman’s Dead,” “Clumsy,” and “Somewhere Out There,” Our Lady Peace have sold over 5 million albums worldwide and garnered more than 360 million streams. They are among the elite 13 Music Canada Diamond-certified artists, holding 3x-Triple and 5x-Double Platinum certifications. With 19 Top 10 radio hits in Canada — including five No. 1 singles – OLP has won four JUNO Awards and ten MuchMusic Video Awards, making them one of the most celebrated bands in MMVA history. Their extensive touring history includes sharing stages with The Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, and Alanis Morissette. As they close the OLP30 chapter with OLP30 Vol. Three, the band looks ahead to a monumental year that includes their induction into Canada’s Walk of Fame on June 14, 2025, and a hometown show at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage on July 24. Our Lady Peace is Raine Maida (lead vocals), Duncan Coutts (bass), Steve Mazur (guitar), and Jason Pierce (drums).
Greylin James Rue’s music explores the deep shifts that accompany life’s transformations. A singer and songwriter whose work blends emotional introspection with life, Greylin draws inspiration from the natural world, finding beauty in its raw, unfiltered forms. Greylin debuted in her first major show in the summer of 2024, opening for the legendary Smashing Pumpkins in Muskoka Canada. On the horizon, Greylin is set to release new music produced by Gavin Brown, who is known for his work with artists like Billy Talent and Three Days Grace. Her next single will be featured in an upcoming thriller movie, marking an exciting new chapter in her growing career. Though primarily a musician, Greylin’s talents and interests extend far beyond music alone. Recently, she finished filming a horror movie in Belize, set against the mysterious backdrop of the Mayan ruins in San Ignacio. Greylin’s diverse interests showcase her range as an artist, blending the eerie and the beautiful in both her music and visual storytelling.
