Godsmack + Staind Book 25-City 2023 North American Co-Headline Tour

In what should be one of the strongest rock tours of the summer, Godsmack and Staind will be hitting the road together.

The two bands just announced a 25-city co-headlining trek that will take them across the U.S. and will dip into Canada for select shows as well. The tour gets underway July 18 at St. Louis’ Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, heading east before circling back across the country and coming to a close on Aug. 31 at Austin, Texas’ Germania Insurance Amphitheatre.

“Really looking forward to running on tour this summer with our old pals in Staind. For sure every night will be packed with great music and A LOT of fun memories! Don’t miss it,” said Godsmack.

“We’re really looking forward to being out with Sully and the guys this summer,” says Staind’s Aaron Lewis. “The first time we shared the stage with Godsmack was the 1998 Warped Tour and here we are 25 years later still going strong,” adds Staind guitarist Mike Mushok. “We’re stoked to be sharing the stage with our old friends this summer.”
