Creed tour finalizes summer venues, upcoming onsales

Reunited rock group Creed has finalized plans for its summer romp and revealed the complete slate of cities and venues on its 41-date itinerary. The trek will launch August 6 at Post-Gazette Pavilion in Burgettstown, PA, and conclude October 14 at Sommet Center in Nashville, TN.

Ticket onsales are approaching for four performances on August 25 at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI; September 2 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH; September 11 at Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta, GA; and October 3 at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in Englewood, CO.

Most other regular ticket sales became available at intervals throughout May. Two different VIP fan packages are also being sold through premium sale outlet ILoveAllAccess.com. The “5 Star” and “4 Star” packs are respectively priced at $295 and $175 and are currently available for most tour dates through September. Sales for the October concerts are forthcoming.

Creed announced its initial reunion plans and preliminary tour itinerary, sans venue confirmations, at the end of April. As the band promoted its plans over the following weeks, frontman Scott Stapp was picky when it came to how media worded Creed’s reformation after nearly five years apart.

“I wouldn’t call it a reunion,” Stapp told Rolling Stone. “It’s a renewing and a rebirth. I missed my boys and wanted to create music with them again. We’re all thrilled to have a second chance to make a first impression.”

After growing tension within the band and reported creative differences, Creed split in 2004. The band released three albums, beginning with its 1997 debut “My Own Prison.” The group also recently began pre-production on its first studio album since 2001’s “Weathered.” The new effort is tentatively titled “Full Circle,” according to a band interview with Billboard.
