The two acts join forces for a brief run starting in September
This fall, two of rock music’s best-selling acts of the past two decades are are hitting the road together. Skillet and Seether will kick off a co-headlining tour on September 17 in Asheville, NC, running through October 20 in Minneapolis, MN. Check out the full tour itinerary below.
Tickets go on sale on Friday, July 12, at 10am local time, with various pre-sales set to begin on Wednesday, July 10 at 10am local time.
“We’re really stoked about the upcoming tour — we’ve put together a killer package! It’s always nice to tour with bands that you’re a fan of and that bring it live. Co-headlining with Skillet is going to be a blast; we’ll have to bring our A Game. It should be a great show,” states Seether.
Skillet, one of the best-selling multi-platinum rock bands of the 21st century, as well as being two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated and members of the Pandora Billionaires Club members, are excited to hit the road again.
“We’re glad to be back on the road with our friends in Seether again. We’ve talked about going out together for a while, but after we played a show together this summer that drew big numbers, we knew it was time,” says Skillet.
Additionally, Skillet are embarking on their first-ever tour of the Middle East this coming November. Dates and details are here. The band has also enjoyed a string of sold-out shows across Canada, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Montreal and will join Black Stone Cherry for a UK tour, as well.
Since forming in Pretoria, South Africa in 1999, Seether (Shaun Morgan, Dale Stewart, John Humphrey and Corey Lowery) has amassed a global fanbase that has grown organically with purpose and commitment, offering their fans around the world camaraderie, comfort and a sense of personal power. Their impressive sales and chart history includes three platinum and two gold albums, 22 #1 singles, 21 Top 5 multi-format hits, single sales topping 17 million and over 2 billion streams worldwide across all platforms.
Seether is Billboard’s #8 All-Time Mainstream Rock Artist, which covers the 40-year history of the chart’s existence. Their latest LP, the acclaimed, Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum (If You Want Peace, Prepare For War), was released last summer via Fantasy Records. A primal mix of euphoria and misery, the new album ranks among the strongest material of Seether’s illustrious career and includes the recent #1 singles “Dangerous,” “Bruised and Bloodied,” and “Wasteland.
Skillet have an undying spirit that has humbly asserted and affirmed them as one of this generation’s most successful rock acts. However, as all classic underdog stories do, it happened quietly under the radar. By 2019, they not only garnered a pair of GRAMMY® Award nods and sold over 22 million albums worldwide, but they also took home a Billboard Music Award for the double-platinum Awake. Its breakout single “Monster” is 5x platinum and remains “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time.” 2016’s Unleashed bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200. Hitting #1 on Rock Radio, the lead single “Feel Invincible” cracked 643 million global audio streams and went double platinum. Meanwhile, the gold-certified Unleashed became their fourth consecutive album to achieve gold, platinum, or double-platinum status. Their 2019 release Victorious included the top ten rock radio hit “Legendary,” which lived up to its name with over 108 million streams.
To date, nine original tunes earned RIAA recognition in tandem with high-profile syncs by everyone from WWE and Marvel to ESPN and NFL. Between selling out arenas in 26 countries and four continents, the group performed on Conan and graced the pages of USA Today and The New York Times. Skillet debuted their first graphic novel, EDEN: A Skillet Graphic Novel with Z2 Comics, which became the publisher’s best-selling book of all time, followed by EDEN II: The Aftermath. Skillet’s latest project, DOMINION, was one of the highest charting rock and metal albums of 2022 and deluxe version DOMINION: DAY OF DESTINY is available now.
