After Stone Temple Pilots‘ longtime, oft-troubled frontman Scott Weiland split from the group, many fans thought they might never see STP again, but not only have the band been reinvigorated with the voice of Chester Bennington, they have now announced headlining tour dates while in Australia for Soundwave 2014.
Though they were initially written-off by many as grunge impersonators, Stone Temple Pilots went on to produce several sonically unique and musically accomplished albums throughout the ’90s and well into the new millennium, scoring hits with Sour Girl, Vasoline, and Interstate Love Song.
STP are now armed with the powerful vocals of Linkin Park‘s Chester Bennington. “I’ve loved STP since I was 13 years old and they’ve had a huge influence on me, when the opportunity came up to do something creative with them, I jumped at the chance,” he said.
To celebrate the rise of what could well have been the ashes of one of rock’s great bands, catch STP with Chester Bennington at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Tuesday, 25th February or the Palais Theatre, Melbourne the following night. Tickets are on sale 9:00am Thursday, 23rd January.
