Stone Temple Pilots Plan European Tour
125The Stone Temple Pilots are set to release their first album in nearly a decade, with their self-titled sixth studio album dropping for international release on 25 May 2010. They will follow with a European Tour this summer. Since the moment they appeared on the scene in the early 90's, Stone Temple Pilots dominated the decade from start to finish, racking up 15 singles on the Billboard Top Ten, winning a "Best Hard Rock Performance" GRAMMY in 1994 for for "Plush," and having their five albums sell more than 35 million copies worldwide.

Of all their peers, STP alone had sustained commercial success, earning greater critical acclaim with each release, building a body of work that remains popular and its enduring acclaim has only highlighted the absence of the band, who quietly went their separate ways after the turn-of the millennium release of Shangri-La Dee Da.

Despite the presence of the greatest hits album Thank You in 2003, there has been a generation that has never witnessed the live power of the vocalist Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz live in concert, a situation that will be remedied this summer when the band reunites for a long-awaited and highly anticipated tour.

Produced by Stone Temple Pilots and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Dave Matthews Band, My Chemical Romance), Stone Temple Pilots is the follow-up to 2001’s Shangri-La Dee Da.Stone Temple Pilots. Material from the new album will be premiered live with a concert at Austin Music Hall at South By South West (SXSW) on 18 March, followed by more US dates in March. Further North America tour dates are yet to be confirmed and a European tour will also follow.

In Spring 2008 it was officially revealed that the band will be reuniting and will launch a massive 2008 concert tour encompassing over 65 dates and hitting all corners of North America. Marking the first national tour for Stone Temple Pilots in almost eight years, the 65 date stretch will bring the iconic band’s charismatic musicianship and exhilarating live shows to amphitheatres across North America.

The band enjoyed the experience of being back together and performing that they decided to bring the magic back in to the studio... and back on tour.
