Rock band Creed has emerged out of the wilderness for their first tour in 11 years, the Summer of ‘99 Tour, which will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.

The tour will travel to 40 cities across the United States over the course of two months, starting in Green Bay, Wisconsin on July 17. In addition to Dallas, they will play in San Antonio on September 13 and The Woodlands on September 14.

UPDATE 2-6-2024: Creed has added new Texas dates to the Reunion Tour including a stop in Fort Worth, at Dickies Arena on November 13, and in Austin at Moody Center on November 15. Artist presale tickets are available starting on Tuesday, February 6 at 12 pm, while general onsale begins on Friday, February 9 at 10 am at Creed.com.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The band has been on hiatus since 2013 but their profile has been raised significantly - at least in the Dallas-Fort Worth area - because their 1999 hit song "Higher" has become an anthem for the Texas Rangers on their way to their first World Series appearance in 12 years.

Creed will be joined by special guests 3 Doors Down and Finger Eleven at all three Texas dates.

The band, which formed in Tallahassee, Florida, in 1994, has not announced plans for any new music at this time. They've only released four albums in their career, but their peak came with their sophomore album, 1999's Human Clay, which yielded hits like “Higher” and “With Arms Wide Open.”

The band recently launched a new webstore that will cater to fans old and new, including new merch designs as well as the opportunity to purchase entry into Mark Tremonti’s guitar clinic.

Tickets for the tour will be available starting with presales on Tuesday, October 31, with the general on sale starting on Friday, November 3 at 10 am at creed.com.

Fans can also purchase VIP Packages, which may include premium tickets, stand on stage to watch the first three songs, Meet & Greet + photo op with members of of the band, access to the pre-show soundcheck, exclusive merch, and more.

Watch top drone company break a record at North Richland Hills show

Sky Elements Drones

Sky Elements Drones holiday show.

Dallas-Fort Worth's most famous drone name is aiming to break a world record: Sky Elements Drone Shows, the Coppell-based company known for its ground-breaking light shows rendered via drones, will attempt to break a Guinness World Record for “Longest animation performed by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles”.

In cooperation with the City of North Richland Hills, the company will fly its annual flagship Christmas drone show, this year featuring 2,500 drones orchestrated to create holiday images and themes such as Santa Clauses and "Merry Christmas."

The current record to beat is 26:26 minutes in the air and was set by a Chinese company in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.

Sky Elements is no stranger to Guinness World Records; they are already an 11-time Guiness World Record holder. Mere days ago, they set a new Guinness World Record title for "largest aerial display of a gingerbread village made out of drones" — a festive display that was part of a holiday drone show in Mansfield on November 27.

They are nothing if not dedicated. In September, they were a finalist on national TV show America’s Got Talent, and came in at third place.

They've produced drone shows for the MLB, NFL, NCAA sports, film premieres, the State Fair of Texas, and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra. They are also on the forefront of an admirable transition away from fireworks being deployed during holidays and events, to be replaced by drones. Fireworks are harmful to wildlife as well as people with sensory issues, and terrifying for pets, who frequently bolt.

The big show will take place on December 20 at 7 pm, at Birdville ISD Fine Arts/Athletics Complex at 9200 Mid Cities Blvd, North Richland Hills. The lot opens at 5 pm, and the flight time is 7 pm.

Michael Empric, a Guinness World Records adjudicator, will be on-site to confirm the record.

Spectators are invited to arrive in their cars to witness this incredible drone show from the comfort of their vehicles. Guests will be parked on a first-come, first-served basis.

The audience can tune their radio stations to 88.9 FM and listen along as they tell a story in the sky. Many liken the event to a drive-in movie experience, and spectators are encouraged to bring snacks.
