Creed, which plays MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida on Sept. 20, 2024.

In the years following Creed’s initial split in 2012, frontman Scott Stapp struggled with mental health and drug addiction.

He overcame, however, and played his first American solo show in St. Petersburg six years ago, following a stay in rehab.

While the Tallahassee outfit—which claims it is not a Christian band, despite the biblical imagery in its lyrics—doesn’t have any plans to release any new music, Stapp himself dropped his fourth studio album, Higher Power, last March.

Tickets to see Creed play MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa on Friday, Sept. 20 are still available and start at $39.50.
UPDATED 09/17/24 8:29 p.m. Updated because Creed does not identify as a Christian band.
