While we haven’t even started celebrating “Creedmas” this year, arena-conquering post-grunge rockers Creed have announced they’re going to have a merry 2026 — specifically whilst hosting a two-day “Summer of ’99 & Beyond” festival that will feature sets from Limp Bizkit, Mammoth, Sevendust and more.
Scott Stapp and CO. confirmed that after taking their “Summer of ‘99” on arena runs in 2024 and 2025, next year they’ll be laying down roots in Tinley Park, Illinois, with the two-day fest set to take place July 18-19th.
A press release explains that “Summer of ’99 & Beyond” has evolved to become “a destination event for rock loyalists,” and promises a “stacked lineup of platinum-selling heavyweights and rock newcomers.”
Somewhat curiously, the Saturday show doesn’t feature Creed. That day finds Limp Bizkit taking the top spot honors on the “Higher” stage, which also hosts performances from hip-hop cropdusters Cypress Hill, veteran heavy makers Sevendust and Kittie, and Puddle of Mudd. The “Are You Ready” side-stage has nu-revivalists Magnolia Park, eclectic sister act the Pretty Wild, and “ghetto metal” unit Slay Squad.
Creed rise up for the Sunday show, headlining a “Higher” stage that also features Bush, “Summer of ‘99” tour vets Mammoth, Candlebox and Hoobastank. The second stage has rising rockers Sleep Theory, as well as Canadian mainstays Big Wreck, “Freshmen”-makers the Verve Pipe, and Ashes of Billy.
An artist pre-sale begins next Tuesday (December 16th), while general ticket sales are available that Friday (December 19th). You’ll find info on ticketing and VIP packages over here.
As previously announced, Creed are also hosting a series of “Creedmas” shows this month. The five-date winter trip begins with a two-night stand in Hollywood, Florida between December 19-20th, which also features Sevendust.
Creed are also hosting their next “Summer of ’99 and Beyond Cruise” in 2026, with that April 17th-21st voyage from Miami, Florida and Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas set to feature performances from the headliners, as well as 3 Doors Down, Filter, Living Colour and more.
