Creed: Summer of ’99 Tour

Love ’em or hate ’em, you can’t deny we’ve all been talking about Creed since they announced their reunion on the Summer of ’99 cruise. The band then shared dates for a 40-city North American tour, called – you guessed it – the “Summer of ’99 Tour.”

This summer run will feature Finger Eleven every night, as well as direct support from 3 Doors Down at the majority of the shows. Daughtry, Switchfoot, Tonic, and Big Wreck will be making appearances on select dates.

Creed and various others who saw their heyday in the late 90s and early 00s will also be performing at the “Summer of ’99 and Beyond” festival, right in the middle of this tour. This festival will take place August 31st in San Bernardino and will welcome such performers as 3 Doors Down, Daughtry, Finger Eleven, Fuel, Vertical Horizon, and The Verve Pipe.

You can grab tickets for the tour, festival, and Mark Tremonti’s guitar clinics at creed.com!
