Tour & live: festivals and The Rise of Rock
The Rise of Rock World Tour 2026 is promoted as a Godsmack-led package with Stone Temple Pilots and Dorothy as key guests. Festival calendars list dates such as Rocklahoma in Pryor, Oklahoma, on September 4, 2026, and the Aftershock Festival at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California, on October 4, 2026, where Stone Temple Pilots appear on multi-artist bills that draw tens of thousands of rock fans.
Price grids on major ticket platforms show typical entry prices in the US$30–80 range for most amphitheater stops, with capacities spanning from roughly 15,000 at Pine Knob to more than 20,000 at venues like Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. That places the tour firmly in the large-venue segment rather than clubs, continuing the band’s long-running status as an arena-level rock act.

The musical core of Stone Temple Pilots
Stone Temple Pilots emerged from San Diego’s early-1990s alternative rock scene, but their catalog quickly widened from grunge-adjacent riffing to melodic hard rock and acoustic material. Landmark albums such as Core (1992) and Purple (1994) established the band’s mix of heavy guitar, memorable choruses and a rhythm section that favored groove over sheer speed.
Later releases like the self-titled Stone Temple Pilots (2010) and the mostly acoustic Perdida (2020) show how the group have continued to revisit their own sound, with Jeff Gutt stepping in as vocalist while guitarist Dean DeLeo and bassist Robert DeLeo refine arrangements that span from stadium-ready rockers to introspective ballads.
Current status and next live date
As of late August 2026, the next officially listed future show featuring Stone Temple Pilots is Rocklahoma in Pryor, Oklahoma, on September 4, 2026, followed by a run of amphitheater dates and the Aftershock festival in Sacramento through October 4, 2026.
