Staind and Breaking Benjamin, two titans of the early 2000s rock scene, are thrilled to announce their highly anticipated co-headline tour, set to ignite stages across the United States this fall. Produced by Live Nation, the 23-city tour kicks off on September 10 at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, PA making stops in Raleigh, Las Vegas, and more before wrapping up in Austin at Germania Insurance Amphitheater on October 25. Daughtry will join the tour as direct support with Lakeview as the opening act.
Staind is comprised of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Aaron Lewis, lead guitarist Mike Mushok, bassist and backing vocalist Johnny April, and drummer Sal Giancarelli. The band was formed in 1995 in their hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts. Over the course of their career, Staind has released eight studio albums and twelve top 10 singles, selling over 15 million albums worldwide. Break the Cycle, released in 2001 and RIAA certified 5x platinum, featured the smash single, “It’s Been Awhile,” one of the most played songs in modern rock radio history, spending 20 weeks at number 1. In 2023, Staind released their first studio album in twelve years, Confessions of the Fallen, which debuted number 1 on Billboard’s Rock Album chart, and spawned two number 1 singles at rock radio.
Breaking Benjamin has consistently dominated the rock charts since their debut in 2002 with “Saturate.” With ten #1 hits, platinum and multi-platinum albums, 8.5 billion streams globally, and a social following of over 6.5 million, they’ve solidified their global influence and devoted fan base. Their last release, “AURORA,” earned them their 10th #1 rock radio hit with “Far Away ft. Scooter Ward.” Their previous album, EMBER debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200, marking their fourth Top 5 debut. Their track record includes #1 hits like “Red Cold River” and “Torn in Two.” Both AURORA and EMBER achieved Top 10 status in multiple countries and #1 spots across various charts, including Top Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums and Top Digital Albums.
