The band will celebrate their multi-platinum opus with special guests Seether, Hoobastank, and Hinder
Multi-platinum rock band Staind today announced their highly anticipated Break The Cycle 25th Anniversary Tour, celebrating the groundbreaking album that cemented their place in rock history. The 25 date trek will feature Seether as direct support, with special guests Hoobastank and Hinder as openers, bringing together four defining forces of modern rock for one massive run this fall.
Produced by Live Nation, the Break The Cycle 25th Anniversary Tour will kick off in September and make stops across major amphitheaters and arenas in the U.S. and Canada, concluding in Dallas, TX.
Formed in 1995, Staind have recorded and released eight studio albums with their most notable being in 2001’s Break The Cycle, an RIAA certified five-times platinum album that produced a top-five Billboard Hot 100 with their massive hit “It’s Been Awhile.” The single was one of the most played songs in modern rock radio history spending 20 weeks at number 1. Several of their other hits also topped the Billboard 200 including “Fade”, “For You”, “Prince to Pay”, “So Far Away” and “Right Here”. In 2019, after a five year hiatus, Staind reunited for unforgettable festival performances and a hometown reunion show that was recorded for the album Live : It’s Been Awhile. The band has been called one of the defining bands of the post Grunge movement securing awards including Billboard Music Awards the MTV Video Music Awards among others.
Staind founding member, Aaron Lewis, shared, “25 years later to be touring, celebrating this album and bringing our music to our fans near and far is something really special. I’m looking forward to going out with these guys. It’s like one big family reunion!”
Staind guitarist, Mike Mushok said, “Hard to believe it’s been 25 years. I look back on those times as one of the highlights of my career and feel very fortunate to still be doing this. I look forward to hitting the road and celebrating with good friends what was a career defining album for us. I hope you can join us on this celebration.”

Since 1999, Staind and Seether have been consistent forces in rock music. Together, both bands combine for nine No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, and have dominated rock radio for two decades. Several of these hits crossed over to pop radio, and charted on the Billboard Hot 100. From 2001 to 2005, Staind released three albums that all hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Beginning with 2005’s Karma and Effect, Seether released four straight albums that all debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200.
Staind released their latest album, Confessions of the Fallen, in 2023. It was their first release through their new label, BMG. The long awaited follow-up to the band’s 2011 self-titled LP, Confessions of the Fallen debuted at No. 4 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. A pair of singles made their way onto Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart – “Here and Now” and “Lowest in Me,” the latter of which gave Staind their first No. 1 hit since their 2011 song, “Not Again.”
Staind is comprised of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Aaron Lewis, lead guitarist Mike Mushok, bassist and backing vocalist Johnny April, and drummer Sal Giancarelli. The band was formed in 1995 in their hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts. Over the course of their career, the band has released seven studio albums and eight Top 10 singles, selling over 15 million albums worldwide.
Their most notable album Break The Cycle, released in 2001, an RIAA certified 5x platinum, featured the anthemic single, “It’s Been Awhile,” one of the most played songs in modern rock radio history, spending 20 weeks at Number 1. In 2019 after a five-year hiatus, Staind reunited for some unforgettable festival performances, and a hometown reunion show that was recorded for the album Live: It’s Been Awhile. In September 2023, Staind released their eighth studio album and first in twelve years, Confessions Of The Fallen, which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Active Rock Album chart. The debut single from the album, “Lowest In Me”,and the second single, “Here and Now”, both reached #1 on the Active Rock Chart. One year later in September 2024, Staind digitally released Confessions of The Fallen (Deluxe) that contained three additional songs including “Better Days feat. Dorothy”, a radio version of the album track, and “Full of Emptiness”. Staind returned to the studio in 2025 to start work on their eighth studio album.
