Hot off the heels of his summer amphitheatre tour with Creed, lead singer Scott Stapp has announced he is launching an exclusive solo tour this fall. Kicking off in San Bernadino, CA on September 30th at the San Manuel Amphitheater, the tour will hit cities across the US, with select dates in Canada. Performing a 90 minute set, fans can expect to hear new material from Stapp as well as selections from his solo album The Great Divide, and Creed favorites. Presales are available for the tour on Scott’s website www.scottstapp.com. Fans can also purchase VIP ticket packages for most dates that include a meet and greet and photo opportunity.
Stapp, the unmistakable voice of Creed, has long been known as a deeply passionate songwriter. Getting to the heart of that, Stapp has planned a uniquely personal “VH1 Storytellers” type tour. He explains, “I'm stripping down all the Creed hits, as well as my solo material, in a manner that fans have never heard before but have long been screaming for.” A true must see for Creed fans delivered as only one of the most prolific Rock ‘n’ Roll frontman/songwriters of our time can.
In 2009, Stapp reunited with Creed to record their fourth album, Full Circle, preceding its October 27 release with an extensive US tour playing to full capacity crowds. The band returned to the stage this summer and is currently on the road performing for a 24-date run wrapping in Texas at the beginning of September.

Understanding the importance of helping those less fortunate, in October of 1999 Scott launched the charity "With Arms Wide Open,” that later became the “Scott Stapp Foundation” in 2005 (www.scottstappfoundation.com). After the earthquake in Haiti in 2009, Scott and his charity partnered with the Wheelchair Foundation's "Plane To Haiti" initiative, assisting in relief efforts that provided over three tons of medical supplies and medical staff to the damaged areas. Stapp’s other charitable efforts include a USO tour with Creed performing shows to support the troops over seas.
As the lead singer of the Grammy award-winning band Creed, Scott Stapp has provided the soundtrack for an entire generation of rock fans; internationally, he has sold over 35 million records with 26 million sold in the U.S alone. Creed received a Diamond certificate with their second album Human Clay, which also debuted at # 1 on the Billboard Album chart. This album featured the hit single “With Arms Wide Open,” a song that was written for Stapp’s first-born child, Jagger Michael. Stapp also released a solo record, “The Great Divide” in 2005 which was certified platinum by the RIAA.
