Following a massive resurgence in popularity and an overwhelming response to their long-awaited reunion, CREED is kicking off 2025 with the highly anticipated return of the Summer of ’99 and Beyond Festival. This high-energy rock festival, now in its second year, continues to celebrate the anthems of a generation, proving that demand for live rock music is stronger than ever.

After the resounding success of last year’s sold-out inaugural event in San Bernardino, this year’s festival is set to be even bigger and better. Expanding to two days, the festival will feature CREED and Nickelback as co-headliners, marking the first time these two rock juggernauts will share a stage since 1999.

The festival will take place at the historic Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, WI, on Friday, July 18, and Saturday, July 19. This location holds special significance for both bands, as it marks the 25th anniversary of CREED's first performance there in 2000 and Nickelback's debut at the venue in 2007. The setting is the perfect backdrop for these iconic bands to reunite and deliver an unforgettable rock experience.
