Refugee 7 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 Stone Temple Pilots have added several new dates to the band's massive North American reunion tour, which kicks off this weekend in Ohio. The group will launch the trek with a headlining slot Saturday night (5/17) at Columbus, OH's Rock on the Range Festival, one of almost 60 cities on the band's first tour in six years. The outing is scheduled to run through October, with a pair of newly added shows following the group's Oct. 24 appearance at New Orleans' Voodoo Festival. Details are included below. The band announced the reunion tour in Los Angeles last month, performing publicly for the first time since breaking up in 2002. After forming the band in 1992, the grunge-rockers--frontman Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz--recorded five studio albums and went on to sell more than 35 million copies worldwide, according to a press release. They parted ways after completing a tour behind 2001's "Shangri-La Dee Da," which is their most recent studio album. Weiland went on to join Velvet Revolver, which split with the singer last month amid a volley of acrimonious press releases. The DeLeo brothers co-founded rock quartet Army of Anyone with Filter frontman Richard Patrick and former David Lee Roth Band drummer Ray Luzier, but that band slipped into hibernation following its 2006 self-titled debut. "It's been five years we've been apart, and there's all these young kids who had older brothers who were STP fans, and now they're these little hipsters--18, 19, 20 years old--and they're STP fans," Weiland said at the band's press conference last month announcing the reunion. "These kids come up to me all the time and tell me they loved the band, that they have all of our records. To be appreciated by a whole 'nother generation of fans, all of a sudden discovering you, it's kind of what I did with the classic bands I love--the ones that influenced me." Dean DeLeo recently told the Associated Press that STP plans to record a new studio album after the tour wraps.
