Legendary Californian rock royalty, Stone Temple Pilots have today announced their long-awaited return to Australian shores this February/March to celebrate the 30th anniversary of ‘Purple’, the group’s chart-topping, multi-platinum sophomore album. To honour the impressive milestone, they’ll be performing this iconic album in its entirety at each show.
Released on June 7, 1994, Purple was the highly anticipated follow-up to Stone Temple Pilots’ 1992 debut, Core, which sold over eight million copies and earned a GRAMMY Award. The album debuted at number 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and quickly became a fan favourite, selling over six million copies. Purple features some of the group’s most beloved tracks, including Interstate Love Song and Vasoline, which topped the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It also includes Big Empty, a song that first appeared on the film soundtrack for The Crow. The song was a massive Top 10 hit on mainstream and modern rock charts and won the MTV Movie Award for Best Song in a Movie.
After the massive success of their North American Jubilee Tour, the band is excited to continue the celebration with their Aussie fans. As part of the run, Stone Temple Pilots’ will play headline shows in Melbourne, Gold Coast, Sydney, Adelaide, Newcastle, and Brisbane.
Tickets to the ‘Purple’ anniversary tour go on sale Friday 6 September at 9AM (AEST), for further information, visit teamwrktouring.com
