Stone Temple Pilots in Concert October 7, 2009

AEG Live has announced that Stone Temple Pilots will play the Greensboro Coliseum Complex’s Special Events Center on October 7. Special guest Jet will open the show.

Tickets will go on sale Friday, August 28th at 10:00 am at www.ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets, charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000 or at the Greensboro Coliseum box office. All seats are general admission.

Since the moment they appeared on the scene in the early 90's, Stone Temple Pilots dominated the decade from start to finish, racking up 15 singles on the Billboard Top Ten, winning a "Best Hard Rock Performance" Grammy Award in 1994 for for "Plush," and having their five albums sell more than 35 million copies worldwide.

Of all their peers, STP alone had sustained commercial success, earning greater critical acclaim with each release, building a body of work that remains popular and its enduring acclaim has only highlighted the absence of the band, who quietly went their separate ways after the turn-of the millennium release of Shangri-La Dee Da.

Despite the presence of the greatest hits album Thank You in 2003, there has been a generation that has never witnessed the live power of the vocalist Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz live in concert, a situation that will be remedied this fall when the band brings its long-awaited and highly anticipated tour to Greensboro on October 7.

Jet burst on to the rock scene in 2003 with the release of their debut album Get Born, which sold over three and a half million copies. The band’s hit singles include “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch”.
