Reunited Stone Temple Pilots to play Dodge Theatre

The Stone Temple Pilots, the San Diego based band that rode the grunge wave to stardom in the ‘90s before splitting up in 2003, have reunited and will bring their first tour in eight years to the Dodge Theatre, 400 W. Washington Ave., Phoenix, on Tuesday, July 29.

STP singer Scott Weiland, who is almost as well known for his skirmishes with the law and for his well-documented drug problems as he is for his music, had been the lead singer for Velvet Revolver (also featuring former members of Guns ‘N Roses) for the past few years before leaving that band in April to reunite with Stone Temple Pilots.

The band, which also includes brothers Robert (bass) and Dean (guitar) DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz, has scored rock hits with “Sex Type Thing,” “Plush” (for which the band won a best hard rock performance Grammy in 1994) and “Interstate Love Song.” All five of the band’s studio albums have either gone gold or platinum.

Tickets for the Dodge Theatre show, priced from $41-$60, go on sale Saturday, May 10, at the Dodge Theatre box office, all Ticketmaster outlets and online at ticketmaster.com and livenation.com.
