The band is currently wrapping up the second leg of their massive reunion tour
Last night, Creed wrapped up their massive reunion tour at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida. The run has seen the band sell out venues around the country – including Madison Square Garden in New York City. The tour sold out, so they added a second leg. They even embarked on their own music cruise, adding a second one due to unbelievable demand. Now, it seems the demand for the band is higher than ever, so they’re running it back in 2025.
At the end of last night’s show in Orlando, a graphic flashed across the LED screens on stage that read, “Summer of ’99 Tour 2025 Coming Soon.”

It seems like Creed have next summer wide open. Surely, singer Scott Stapp is probably looking to book more solo dates to support his latest album Higher Power. Guitarist Mark Tremonti also has a new record on the way, with a European tour booked for January. Tremonti will probably want to do a North American run in the spring, leaving the summer wide open for another Creed run. Sadly, festival bookings have come and gone. There are still a few left unannounced, but the likelihood of Creed appearing seems low that this point. Maybe there’s a promoter out there that will have the balls to book one of the biggest hit-producing rock bands of the last 30 years on their bill. We shall see.
In April, Creed will set sail on another Summer of ’99 Cruise. The jaunt will see a sold-out ship head for the Bahamas on April 9, 2025 and returning on April 13. The lineup features Sevendust, Dorothy, Hoobastank, Lit, Hinder, Alien Ant Farm, Marcy Playground, and more. After that, Creed have a featured slot at Stagecoach in Indio, California. The country music festival has branched out to include some other genres. In addition to hard rockers Creed, this year’s installment includes alternative sensation Lana Del Rey, pop icon Backstreet Boys, alternative rock chart-toppers Goo Goo Dolls, and rock icon Sammy Hagar, among others.
Creed are closing out 2024 in a big way. The band recently announced plans for a New Years Eve run with very special guests Sevendust. The two storied groups will perform at the Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant, Oklahoma, followed by a two-show stand at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada to cap off the year. Tickets are on sale now.
Creed recently released a brand new music video for their hit single “Are You Ready?” which features live footage and behind-the-scenes action from their current reunion tour.
The anthem “Are You Ready?” is the lead track from Creed’s watershed 1999 album, Human Clay. The band is currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of the record, which cemented them as certified superstars. It debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200, where it remained for a record-breaking 104 weeks. The album’s first single, “Higher,” spent a whopping 57 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No.7, and topping the Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts for 17 weeks. The 2x Platinum single “With Arms Wide Open,” became Creed’s first No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100—a spot it held for four weeks – and earned the band a GRAMMY for Best Rock Song and a nod for Best Rock Vocal Performance.
To commemorate the occasion, the band just reissued the record on several limited edition 2-LP vinyl variants, as well as a deluxe 2-CD set. The original 11-track album, available on color vinyl for the first time, includes Gray Smoke (available wide), Black & Grey Splatter (exclusively via the official Creed store), Orange Smoke (Walmart),Red Smoke (Barnes & Noble), Gray Opaque (Revolver), and Black & Gold Marble (Spotify Fans First).
Arriving back on August 16, the deluxe 2-CD release features the newly remastered original album, plus a wealth of bonus material, including a complete, never-before-heard concert recording, captured in San Antonio, Texas in 1999. A deluxe digital edition of the album also features six additional bonus tracks, including alternate versions of “Higher” and “With Arms Wide Open,” and a cover of the Doors classic “Roadhouse Blues” featuring the Doors guitarist and founding member, Robby Krieger (recorded live at Woodstock ’99). Fans who pre-save the album today can stream or download an advance 3-track EP, which offers “With Arms Wide Open (Live),” plus a rare acoustic performance of the same track and the newly remastered album version.
The release follows their multi-platinum Greatest Hits collection which debuted on vinyl last month. Originally issued in 2004 as a limited-edition pressing, the 13-track compilation spans the GRAMMY® and American Music Award-winning band’s first three albums (1997’s My Own Prison, 1999’s Human Clay, and 2001’s Weathered) and features such chart-topping singles as“Higher,” “One Last Breath,” “With Arms Wide Open,” and “My Sacrifice.” As a special bonus, the 2-LP set features an etching on Side D that mirrors the cover art. In addition to the standard black vinyl from Amazon, Greatest Hits can be found in a variety of limited exclusives, including Green Smoke vinyl (official Creed store), Orange Smoke (Craft Recordings), Red Smoke (Target), Gray Smoke (Best Buy), and Blue Smoke (Walmart). The collection is also available for streaming and digital download now.
Human Clay has sold over 11 million copies in the US alone, achieving a rare Diamond certification by the RIAA. In 2009, it ranked at No.5 on Billboard’s 200 Albums of the Decade roundup. Today, it remains one of the best-selling albums of all time in the US, while it has sold over 20 million copies worldwide.
Due to overwhelming fan response, the multi-platinum rockers recently added a second leg to their 2024 reunion tour. The new round of dates begins on November 2 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and wraps up on December 5 at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida. Very special guests for the run will be 3 Doors Down, Mammoth WVH, and Finger Eleven on select dates.
Back in April, Creed set sail on their highly anticipated Summer of ’99 Cruises. The venture marked the band’s first live performances in over a decade. On guitarist Mark Tremont’s 50th birthday, the band kicked things off appropriately with, “Are You Ready?” Fans on the sold-out ship definitely were. From there, it was a barrage of hits, featuring the likes of “Bullets,” “What If,” “Torn,” “With Arms Wide Open,” and more. They also pulled out the rare gem “Weathered,” which hadn’t been played since 2002.
They wrapped things up with their seminal smash, “Higher,” and sang “Happy Birthday” to Mark Tremonti. With the crowd wanting more, Creed returned for a two-track encore. They performed “One Last Breathe” and “My Sacrifice,” two hit singles from their 2001 chart-topping album, Weathered.

After the music cruises, platinum rockers Creed have taken their reunion on the road. The band launched the tour on July 17 at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The run wrapped up on September 28 at Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Very special guests for the trek were 3 Doors Down, Daughtry, Switchfoot, Tonic, Big Wreck, and Finger Eleven on select dates.
In addition to the headlining shows, Creed put on a special one-day festival dubbed Summer of ’99 and Beyond with 3 Doors Down, Daughtry, Finger Eleven, Fuel, Vertical Horizon, and The Verve Pipe on August 31 at the Glen Helen Amphitheatre in San Bernardino, California.
Until now, Creed had not toured together since 2013. Their last studio effort was 2009’s Full Circle, which featured the hit singles “Overcome” and “A Thousand Faces.” Since then, frontman Scott Stapp released his acclaimed third album The Space Between the Shadows in 2019. Guitarist Mark Tremonti churned out four Tremonti albums. Mark, along with fellow Creed members Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall, unleashed four more Alter Bridge albums including the masterful Fortress (2013) and their latest opus, Pawns & Kings (2022).
Scott Stapp released his fourth solo LP, Higher Power, back on March 15 thought Napalm Records. The album describes a metamorphosis forged by loss, frustration, betrayal and near defeat. The record also features stand-out performances by Dorothy, award-winning guitar great Yiannis Papadopoulos, and multi-GRAMMY® Award winning songwriter and musician, Steve McEwan, makes a co-writing appearance on the album.
Stapp says, “Higher Power was born out of never ending consequences with triggered, yet naive defiance,” Stapp says of the record. “It’s the realities and realizations of being human in this experiment we call life – holding onto hope in the dark waiting for the light.”
The GRAMMY® Award-winning Stapp released his last album, The Space Between the Shadows, back in 2019. Anchored by the hit single, “Purpose for Pain,” the record also featured fan favorites “Face of the Sun” and “Survivor.” The album debuted at No. 3 on the US Current Rock Albums chart, the U.S. Current Hard Music Albums chart, and the UK Official Rock and Metal Chart. It cracked the Billboard 200 at No. 137.
Mark Tremonti’s upcoming sixth album with his namesake group, The End Will Show Us How, is slated to arrive next January 10, 2025. So far, Tremonti has released three singles – “Just Too Much,“ “The Mother, the Earth and I,“ and “One More Time.” To celebrate the release, the group is heading overseas for a run across Europe and the UK starting on 14 January in Germany. In addition to general tickets, VIP + Soundcheck Access passes will also be available.
In addition to digital download, the forthcoming The End Will Show Us How will be available on CD, signed CD, marbled orange vinyl, splattered blue vinyl, and splattered red vinyl. All vinyl editions come with a signed cover art lithograph.
Tremont’s last solo effort was 2021’s Marching in Time. Released through Napalm Records, the disc hit No. 1 on the UK’s Rock & Metal Albums chart, and cracked the Billboard 200 at No. 184. Produced by frequent collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Alter Bridge, Falling In Reverse, Limp Bizkit), the album churned out four singles.
