Creed Reuniting for a Summer Tour and New Album

Rock Band Creed is Coming "Full Circle"

Creed is back! Well, at least for a few months that is. After a five year hiatus, the multi-platinum band hailing from Tallahassee, FL is reuniting for a summer tour and a new album. According to Scott Stapp, the legendary voice of Creed, the new album's title track entitled "full circle" is metaphorical of their life as a band. Stapp told Rolling Stone magazine that he is not calling Creed's comeback a reunion but more of "a renewing and a rebirth."

Creed became a household name in the late 1990's after topping the charts with hits such as "Arms Wide Open," "Higher," and their first album's title track "My Own Prison." Their rise to the top of the music world turned out to be just as fast as their abrupt decline. In 2000 Brian Marshall left the band and in 2004, the final three band members of Creed parted ways.

Scott Stapp went on to create his own solo album and the other three original band members, bassist Brian Marshall, drummer Scott Phillips, guitarist Mark Tremonti teamed up with Myles Kennedy to form the band Alter Bridge. Now, all four original band members will once again be playing on the same stage and working together on their fourth album. From reading comments posted on several websites, it is easy to see that fans have long awaited Creed's "rebirth."

One fan wrote on LiveNation's website, a major concert promotion and production company, "I have been waiting for this reunion for some time now and it's finally here!" Another fan commented, "I have loved Creed since 1996...throughout the many years I have always loved Creed. They have always been my #1 band!" It appears that Creed will receive a warm welcome from fans once they hit the stage. Creed's summer tour will begin August 6th and will run through October 14th. Here is a list of their concert tour dates and locations:
