Get ready for a blast from the past! Four of the biggest alternative rock bands from the 90s are joining forces for a summer tour that promises to take you back to a simpler time. Stone Temple Pilots, Live, Soul Asylum, and Our Lady Peace are hitting the road together for the Jubilee Tour, a celebration of some of the most iconic music of a generation.
The Headliners: Stone Temple Pilots and Live
The Jubilee Tour is a co-headlining event, featuring Stone Temple Pilots (STP) and Live. This means both bands will get equal billing and likely play similar set lengths. Formed in San Diego in the late 80s, STP rose to fame in the early 90s with their unique blend of grunge, hard rock, and psychedelic influences. Hits like “Plush,” “Interstate Love Song,” and “Creep” made them one of the biggest rock bands of the era.
Live, hailing from Pennsylvania, also found massive success in the 90s. Their alternative rock sound, incorporating elements of funk and blues, resonated with fans. Songs like “Lightning Crashes,” “Throwing Copper,” and “I Alone” became staples of radio playlists and MTV.
This tour is particularly special because both STP and Live are celebrating anniversaries of their most successful albums. STP’s iconic “Purple” turns 30 this year, while Live’s groundbreaking “Throwing Copper” also hits the three-decade mark. Fans can expect to hear all their favorite songs from these albums, along with other hits that defined the bands’ careers.
Opening Acts: Soul Asylum and Our Lady Peace
The nostalgia doesn’t stop with the headliners. Joining the tour are alternative rock veterans Soul Asylum and Our Lady Peace. Formed in Minneapolis in the mid-80s, Soul Asylum gained mainstream attention in the early 90s with their catchy tunes and introspective lyrics. Songs like “Runaway Train,” “Black Gold,” and “She’s Got a Way” are sure to bring back memories for many fans.
Our Lady Peace, a Canadian rock band formed in the late 80s, rose to prominence in the alternative rock scene of the 90s. Their unique sound, blending elements of grunge, post-grunge, and alternative metal, found a dedicated fanbase. Hits like “Stressed Out,” “Innocence,” and “Superman’s Dead” are sure to get the crowd moving.
Having these two bands as openers ensures a full night of 90s alternative rock goodness. Fans can expect a mix of deep cuts, fan favorites, and maybe even a surprise collaboration or two!

The Jubilee Tour kicks off in Concord, California on August 16th and wraps up in Indianapolis on September 15th. Throughout the tour, Stone Temple Pilots and Live will trade set times, keeping things fresh and exciting for fans who attend multiple shows.
