Today two of the most legendary bands in rock, Stone Temple Pilots (pictured above) and +Live+, announced they are teaming up for the Jubilee Tour, a co-headline tour produced by Live Nation. The 19-city run kicks off August 16 in Concord, CA, with special guests Our Lady Peace on the first two dates, and the remainder of the tour with Soul Asylum.
The multi-platinum selling bands join forces to celebrate the 30th anniversary of two of the most beloved albums of the 90s, +Live+'s Throwing Copper, and Stone Temple Pilots' Purple. Fans of the iconic bands can expect a night of hit songs from those albums and much more, with a full set of music by each group spanning generations.
When Stone Temple Pilots returned to the studio in 1994 to record their second album, the band was facing high expectations set by its debut album, Core, which sold more than 8 million copies and won a Grammy Award. The release of Purple would cement their place as one of the most definitive bands of their generation, debuting #1 on the Billboard album chart, releasing the smash singles “Interstate Love Song,” “Vasoline,” and “Big Empty” on its way to selling more than six million copies.
Throwing Copper, the third studio album from +Live+ produced by Jerry Harrison of The Talking Heads, set alternative radio on fire with consecutive hit singles, including “Selling the Drama,” “I Alone,” “All Over You,” and the unforgettable radio mainstay, “Lightning Crashes,” which was #1 at Modern Rock Radio for 10 consecutive weeks. Throwing Copper reached #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and went on to sell over 10 million copies.
