Creed fans in Alabama — and there were plenty back in the day — will want to know that the rock band has reunited for a 2024 tour that includes a stop in the Birmingham area.

Singer Scott Stapp has returned to the fold, teaming with guitarist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips. They’re the players featured on the band’s 1997 breakthrough album, “My Own Prison,” and the lineup that lasted through most of Creed’s high-profile career.

Creed is set to play on Aug. 14 at Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Pelham, on a bill with 3 Doors Down and Finger Eleven. Tickets for the 6:30 p.m. show go on sale Friday, Nov. 3, at 10 a.m. CT via Ticketmaster. Prices are $39.50, $69.50, $99.50 and $159.50, according to promoter Red Mountain Entertainment, which is part of concert giant Live Nation.

Creed’s “Summer of ‘99 Tour,” the band’s first tour since 2012, will include 40 shows scheduled mid-July through late September. Right now, the Pelham date is Creed’s only stop in Alabama. Support acts on the tour will include Daughtry, Switchfoot, Tonic and Big Wreck at various stops, along with 3 Doors Down and Finger Eleven.

Live Nation is producing the tour, announced three months after Creed confirmed it would reunite to headline a Summer of ‘99 Cruise in spring 2024. Two weeks of the cruise sold out, April 18-22 and April 27-May 1, indicating fans were ready for a Creed revival.

“I feel like I’m as strong as I’ve ever been vocally, and looking forward to sharing the stage with the guys again,” Stapp said in a statement about Creed’s new tour, according to Billboard. “The fans have clearly let us know they feel it’s long overdue. I want to give them what they deserve. I’m ready to bring it.”

Creed released three multi-platinum albums during its heyday in 1997-2001 — “My Own Prison,” “Human Clay” and “Weathered” — and dominated mainstream radio stations with singles such as “Higher,” “One,” “My Sacrifice,” “With Arms Wide Open” and “My Own Prison.” The band won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 2001 for “With Arms Wide Open,” and drew thousands of listeners to arenas for its live shows.

However, erratic behavior from Stapp, on stage and off, resulted in tensions that began to fracture the band and led to Creed’s initial breakup in 2003-2004. Creed reunited in 2009, released an album called “Full Circle” and went on hiatus again in 2013.

Stapp revealed in 2015 that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and undergoing treatment. Stapp also confirmed that he had “a psychotic break” in 2014 that was fueled by alcohol and drug abuse. He’s now in recovery.

Creed had an enthusiastic fan base in Birmingham, starting with a packed show in 1998 at the former Five Points South Music Hall and moving on to larger venues, including the BJCC Arena in 2002. But the band’s popularity here took a nosedive after the first breakup. Creed’s 2009 reunion show in Birmingham was a low point, as the band played to a small audience at the arena and ticket prices for the October show had dropped to 75 cents (plus a few dollars in service fees).

In the meantime, Tremonti, Marshall and Phillips continued to record and perform together with their own project, Alter Bridge, founded in 2004. The band has released seven studio albums, including 2022′s “Pawns & Kings.” (Side note: Wolfgang Van Halen was the touring bassist for Alter Bridge in 2012, including a concert at the Zydeco nightclub in Birmingham. The two joined forces again in 2023, this time with Van Halen’s Mammoth WVH band as the opener on tour with Alter Bridge.)

Stapp has been making music as a solo artist, releasing three albums of his own, 2005-2019. His next solo project, “Higher Power,” is set for release in March.

There’s no word yet on a new Creed album, although fans have requested one in recent years and speculation has ramped up in the wake of the Summer of ‘99 Cruise.
