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 20^th 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. 2024 saw Creed return from an 11-year hiatus for the sold-out first sailing of Summer of ’99 & Beyond Cruise, which proved the fastest sell-out of any artist- headlined cruise in Sixthman history, with all reservations booked in just 29 hours. The Summer of ’99 Tour followed with more than 40 headline shows across the US. The Are You Ready? Tour extended the run with arena dates through December 2024. In 2025, Creed embarked on the second sold-out Summer of ’99 & Beyond Cruise, to be followed this summer by The Summer of ’99 Festival (set for July 18-19 in Alpine Valley, WI) and Return of The Summer of ’99 Tour (traveling North America from July 9-August 20). The combined tour dates have resulted in more than 1 million tickets sold since CREED announced their reunion. With more than 53million 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, honoring more than 11 million sales of Human Clay in the United States.
