Creed‘s third annual Summer of ’99 and Beyond Festival will be back next year with an action-packed lineup of fellow hard rock brethren from the late 20th century. The event will take place on July 18 and 19 at the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Ill.
The first night will be headlined by suddenly resurgent nu-metal rockers Limp Bizkit, who will be joined that day by Cypress Hill, Sevendust, Kittie, Puddle of Mudd, Magnolia Park, the Pretty Wild and Slay Squad.
The Scott Stapp-fronted Creed will do the honors on night two, topping a bill that will also include Bush, Mammoth, Candlebox, Hoobastank, Sleep Theory, Big Wreck, The Verve Pipe and Ashes of Billy. An artist pre-sale for two-day tickets will launch on Dec. 16 at 10 a.m. CST, followed by a general on-sale on Dec. 19 beginning at 10 a.m. CST; click here for ticketing information.
While they gear up for next summer’s throwdown, Creed will celebrate the holidays with a series of “Creedmas” U.S. shows. The five-date run will feature two shows in Hollywood, Fla. (Dec. 19, 20), followed by shows in Thackerville, Okla. (Dec. 27), Hanover, Md. (Dec. 29) and Uncasville, Conn. (Dec. 30). Sevendust will open all the shows except the Thackerville stop, where Oklahoma City natives Hinder will do the honors.
In September, Creed announced a Summer of ’99 and Beyond cruise, which will feature headlining sets from the “Higher” group, as well as Daughtry, Collective Soul, Filter, Living Colour, Black Stone Cherry, Nonpoint, Dirty Honey, Oleander, 12 Stones, Tim Montana, Smile Empty Soul, The Band Feel, as well as a special performance from guitarist Mark Tremonti, Tremonti Sings Sinatra.
