The Struts and Zero 9:36 will support on select dates.
Front man Brent Smith shares, “Our number one priority has and will always be the safety of our audience. We are elated to finally be able to announce the return of live music. We want to thank all of the fans/family for their patience and understanding over the course of the last year and a half. We know the power of music, and song is what brings us together, and unites us ALL.”
