It's official: Creed, the band that carved out a niche in rock history during the late '90s, is bringing their "Summer of '99 Tour" to New Orleans, landing a gig at the Smoothie King Center on Saturday, July 26, 2025. As highlighted by a FOX8 report, the band is looking to rekindle the spark with fans from their heyday, as well as court a new generation of listeners with veterans 3 Doors Down and Mammoth WVH joining as special guests.

Tickets for the tour will soon be up for grabs, with a presale — for those diligent enough to sign up on creed.com — scheduled to begin on Thursday, December 12 at 10 a.m. local time. To brightly paint the town with nostalgia, those missing the presale will still have the chance to snag their tickets in the general sale starting Friday, December 13 at 10 a.m. local time.

But Creed isn't just stopping in The Big Easy. Their Summer of '99 Tour is expanding vastly due to popular demand. As noted by antimusic.com, an additional 23 dates are added to the tour produced by Live Nation, stretching from July 9 at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY, all the way to August 20 at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, AB. This hefty schedule follows a string of over 60 sold-out shows throughout North America, with ticket sales surpassing 800,000 and breaking venue records across the market.

The "Summer of '99 Tour," apart from resurrecting chart-topping hits, will also feature a diverse array of acts, including Daughtry and Big Wreck on select dates. Scott Stapp, lead vocalist for Creed, was quoted by antimusic.com expressing gratitude for the band’s longevity: "Thirty years in, it's been a blessing to pick up right where we left off with longtime fans and to meet the next generation for the first time. It's been an incredible ride, and we aren't done, so here's to a 'Summer' that never ends. We'll see you on the road." This sentiment highlights the intergenerational bridge the band aims to build with this tour.

For the dedicated fan base, the band's website offers more than just tour dates. BraveWords mentions that potential perks include signing up for Mark Tremonti’s guitar clinic, VIP Packages promising on-stage viewing, and meet-and-greet opportunities. These packages promise fans an up close and personal experience with the band, taking them beyond the run-of-the-mill concert going experience.
