STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Ready To Rock Again

May 16, 2008

The Pulse of Radio reports: Although they announced their reunion with a private seven-song show in Los Angeles last month, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS will make their official return to the stage on Saturday (May 17) in front of tens of thousands when they headline the first day of the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio. Bassist Robert DeLeo told The Pulse of Radio that he wasn't nervous about the band making its comeback in front of such a huge audience. "No, I just feel like there's a lot of myself feeling comfortable with what I do onstage and, you know, sometimes you get in the way of yourself," he said. "And I think we all have those issues once in a while, and I think just keeping an open attitude and just trying to have a positive attitude and enjoy this would be great."

Joining STONE TEMPLE PILOTS on Saturday will be FINGER ELEVEN, SHINEDOWN, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SERJ TANKIAN, STAIND, DISTURBED, ASHES DIVIDE, AIRBOURNE, RED, 10 YEARS, THEORY OF A DEADMAN and FILTER.

Sunday's (May 18) lineup includes FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, ALTER BRIDGE, FLYLEAF, SEETHER, PAPA ROACH, 3 DOORS DOWN, SAVING ABEL, REV THEORY, BLACK TIDE, BOBAFLEX, DROWNING POOL and SEVENDUST, along with headliner KID ROCK.

Meanwhile, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS has added a batch of new dates to its reunion tour, which officially kicks off at Rock on the Range. The new shows are scattered across the length of the entire trek, which runs into late October. The band has tentative plans to record its first new album since 2001's "Shangri-La-Dee-Da" in November once the tour ends.
