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.
In the meantime, CREED fans can still support the band before the tour gets underway. Scott Stapp’s fourth solo album Higher Power (Napalm Records) will be available March 15, 2024. The title track “Higher Power” is at radio now as Stapp’s most successful single to date. The album can be pre-ordered at: https://scottstapp.com/. Mark Tremonti continues his work supporting the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) and recently was announced as a performer at their annual gala in New York City on March 7th. Mark has also recruited his bandmates to support NDSS on May 2nd when CREED will perform an exclusive acoustic set to benefit the organization alongside cruise companions Tonic. Tickets for that event can be found here.
