Creed and Nickelback Announce Festival!!

Following a massive resurgence in popularity and an overwhelming response to their long-awaited reunion in 2024, CREED is starting 2025 with the return announcement of their Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival — a high-energy rock festival celebrating the anthems of a generation. Now in its second year, the Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival follows the success of last year’s sold-out inaugural event in San Bernardino proving that demand for live rock music is stronger than ever. This year, the festival is expanding to two days with CREED being joined by Nickelback as co-headliners.

The festival will take place at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, WI on Friday, July 18 and Saturday, July 19 - a location that is important in the history of both bands. This year is the 25th Anniversary since CREED first performed there in 2000 and Nickelback made their debut there in 2007 - making it the perfect place for the two juggernauts to come together. The Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival is the first time both bands will share the stage since 1999.

The Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival will feature blow out performances from Nickelback headlining Friday night with +LIVE+, Daughtry, Tonic, Our Lady Peace and Lit rounding out day 1. Saturday night will consist of CREED headlining with 3 Doors Down, Sevendust, Mammoth WVH, Hinder, Vertical Horizon, and Fuel rounding out day two.

TICKETS: Two-day tickets will be available starting with an Artist Presale beginning Wednesday, February 19 at 10 AM CST. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning Friday, February 21 at 10 AM CST at ticketmaster.com.

About CREED:

The GRAMMY® and American Music Award-winning CREED formed in Tallahassee, Florida, in 1994. The more than one billion streams between “Higher,” “My Sacrifice,” “One Last Breath,” “With Arms Wide Open,” and “My Own Prison” on Spotify alone is a testament to the band’s enduring power. Nearly 30 years after CREED’s formation, the ubiquitous anthems composed by singer Scott Stapp and guitarist Mark Tremonti, performed for millions of fans around the world together with drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall, are part of modern rock and alternative’s DNA. My Own Prison (1997) is one of the late 20th century’s biggest debuts. Human Clay (1999) and Weathered (2001) both entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 1. Full Circle (2009), released after a hiatus, bowed at No. 1 on the Top Rock, Hard Rock, and Alternative charts and No. 2 on the Billboard 200. With more than 53 million albums sold worldwide, CREED stands alongside iconic bands like Van Halen, Guns N’ Roses, and Metallica as one of an elite few hard rock outfits to earn RIAA Diamond-certified status, for more than 11 million sales of Human Clay in the United States. After an eleven-year hiatus, Creed officially reunited in July 2023 and announced that they would be headlining two different Summer of '99 cruise festivals in April 2024 which resulted in immediate sell-outs. The band embarked on a tour of over 60 dates in 2024 across North America that resulted in countless record-breaking performances and has propelled Creed into the mainstream consciousness once again.

About NICKELBACK:

2023 Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees and Diamond-certified rock legends Nickelback were named Billboard’s “Most Successful Rock Band of the Decade” in 2009. Globally celebrated for career-defining and award-winning hits like “How You Remind Me,” “Photograph,” “Far Away,” “Rockstar,” and more, the four-piece—Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger, and Daniel Adair - remains one of the most commercially successful and influential acts of the past two decades. With worldwide sales surpassing 50 million units, Nickelback ranks among the top-selling artists of all time and was the second best-selling foreign act in the U.S. during the 2000s, behind only The Beatles. Their inescapable smash “How You Remind Me” was named Billboard’s Top Rock Song of the Decade and was the most-played song on U.S. radio (all formats) in the 2000s, with over 1.2 million spins, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The track has since cemented its place in streaming history, surpassing one billion streams on Spotify and earning Nickelback a coveted spot in the Spotify Billions Club.Among their many accolades, Nickelback has been recognized as Billboard’s Top Rock Group of the Decade, earned nine Grammy Award nominations, and won three American Music Awards, a World Music Award, a People’s Choice Award, twelve JUNO Awards, and seven MuchMusic Video Awards. They have been inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame (2007) and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame (2023). Recently, Nickelback’s story took centre stage in 2023 with the release of their critically acclaimed documentary, Hate to Love: Nickelback - now available on Netflix.

🚨 Has Tesla Lost Their Edge with "All About Love"?

Has Tesla completely lost their edge? In this episode of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW, Neeley and Chris dive deep into Tesla's latest track, "All About Love," questioning if the band has abandoned their rock roots. Is this the softest Tesla has ever sounded? Has the fire that once fueled their legendary sound been extinguished?

But that's not all. They also take on Herman Rarebell's new covers album. Who actually wants this? Is it just a lazy attempt to cash in on nostalgia, or does it genuinely offer something new? The guys don't hold back as they dissect this puzzling release.

This episode pulls no punches, challenging the narratives around these new releases. Is rock losing its edge, or are these just missteps by once-great bands? Find out ...
