Since their surprise performance, the band has been busy working on new music for an upcoming EP to be released this fall. In an effort to take control of the way they will be delivering new music in the future, STP will release the upcoming EP via their own label, with distribution through ADA (Alternative Distribution Alliance). “We’re very ambitious about the future of making music,” said Robert DeLeo. “The process and intention of creating it is so much more gratifying.” The debut single from the new STP lineup, Out of Time is currently Top 5 at Active Rock radio and climbing fast. “We’ve been writing new material and visiting songs from our early albums,” says Robert. “ It all feels new again and we’re excited to get out and play a solid set of songs both old and new.” STP with Chester Bennington (and Filter opening) Sept 4 Bethlehem, PA @ Sands Bethlehem Events Center Sept 6 Sayreville, NJ @ Starland Ballroom Sept 7 Atlantic City, NJ @ Ceasars – Circus Maximus Sept 9 Boston, MA @ House of Blues Sept 10 Huntington, NY @ Paramount Sept 13 Oklahoma City, OK @ Downtown Airpark (w/ Motley Crue) Sept 14 Newkirk, OK @ First Council Casino (Filter will not be appearing on this show) Sept 17 Sunrise, FL @ BB & T Center (FLA Panthers Event) Sept 18 Orlando, FL @ House of Blues Sept 20 Columbia, SC @ Township Auditorium Sept 21 Ft Myers, FL Shockwave Festival – Jet Blue Park Sept 24 Midland, TX @ La Hacienda Event Center Sept 26 Tempe, AZ @ Marquee Sept 27 Las Vegas, NV @ Freemont Street Experience Nov 1 Biloxi, MS @ Hard Rock Live" Thoughts?

SergSlim Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Awesome news! Can't wait to hear new music from them. Hope that there will be a physical CD, as I'm not fond of buying digital music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hahninator Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'll see what I can make from these shows: Sept 17 Sunrise, FL @ BB & T Center (FLA Panthers Event) Sept 18 Orlando, FL @ House of Blues Sept 20 Columbia, SC @ Township Auditorium Sept 21 Ft Myers, FL Shockwave Festival – Jet Blue Park Nov 1 Biloxi, MS @ Hard Rock Live That's 5. For sure Orlando and Columbia. The BB&T Center is a great arena. The LP show there was awesome, so perhaps that one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbrocker Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I was so excited to see they announced a tour, but none of those dates are close. I have no idea why they choose Midland of all places in Texas. IDK how I'd make it to any of these shows However, SO EXCITED for the EP!!

hahninator Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 How far is Midland from you? Maybe with that Biloxi date in November they'll add some more shows, like Houston and Dallas or something. Texas is such a huge state that bands typically play tons of shows there.

RogueSoul Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Atlantic City and Sayreville, awesome. Like I said in the previous thread I'll have to check out more material, but Chester will be there so maybe it'll be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maik_gianino Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Awesome news. I wonder if Linkin Park will keep the writing process while Chester is playing with STP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorast Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Every time I see "with Chester Bennington" it annoys the shit out of me. These are practically the same (essentially inaccessible) places that NIN is hitting in October, and I'm much less enthusiastic about seeing STP live, so that's a no-go.

hahninator Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Need a ride? I'll be at at least a few of the Florida shows. NIN is doing what, Orlando and Sunrise? Orlando will be a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys saw the sh*t storm the whole name thing is causing right now with STP fans, you'd get why they're billing this way. I totally agree it should just be STP because Chester is their lead singer, but STP is trying to find a bit of middle ground with fans.

Skipees Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) If you guys saw the sh*t storm the whole name thing is causing right now with STP fans, you'd get why they're billing this way. I totally agree it should just be STP because Chester is their lead singer, but STP is trying to find a bit of middle ground with fans.for a lot of the STP fans there is no STP without scott, middle ground for them is to bring back their original singer (/voice) and songwriter. so let's call it: "Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington without Scott Weiland" = STPWCBWSW.

[AndOne] Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I guess Digby is handling all the touring, I hope they come to Europe, I'd like to see a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papercutz Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 To me, STP with Chester Bennington doesn't sound too bad. It's better than if STP had to change their name completely. A lot of people might not know that STP has replaced Scott with Chester, so this way they will know if they plan on attending a show.

[AndOne] Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Changing your band name completely does way more damage. Almost all the recent promotion says STP with Chester, so that should make it clear enough for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
