In a recent video shared on Cameo for the podcast Waste Some Time With Average Joe, Scott Stapp opened up about the prospects of new music from the band.
Addressing questions about upcoming tracks, the frontman emphasized the importance of allowing the music to emerge organically, stating:
“As of right now, there is no new music coming from Creed, but I can tell you that there’s definitely been some conversations where insinuations have been made that there may be something there.”
Embracing Organic Growth
He continued, talking about their future plans:
“I think the best thing to do right now is for the band to just kind of go through what we’re going through in terms of getting together and rocking out and playing these shows and connecting with you all and let the music come organically like it did in the early days of Creed — just come naturally, spontaneously, from a pure place of pure art and creativity. We don’t wanna force anything, and I think that’s how you get the best music out of the band.”
Creed’s official announcement of their reunion on July 19, 2023, ended years of speculation and reignited excitement among fans. This excitement was amplified by the band’s social media updates and a teaser video that nostalgically referenced the summer of 1999, marking a full-circle moment for the group.
Anticipation For Creative Sparks
Last month, Stapp shared his astonishment at the positive response to the reunion on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, noting the unexpected levels of support and love from fans worldwide. The singer also discussed the natural inclination for new music to arise spontaneously when the band members come together:
“I think it’s only natural for us that during soundchecks, sometimes in the dressing room, wherever and whenever we’re together, that songs are gonna be born. I mean, it happened on the ‘Full Circle’ tour. We wrote a bunch of songs during soundcheck during that tour, and so we’re sitting on those. But I think we’re all in a fresh space, and I definitely think the creative juices are gonna flow. And so I definitely think there’s hope for some new music.”
Looking ahead, Creed is set to embark on their Summer Of ’99 tour starting July 17, 2024, which will run through September 28, 2024. The tour will feature 3 Doors Down as direct support for most dates, alongside performances by Daughtry, Switchfoot, Tonic, Big Wreck, and Finger Eleven on select dates.
