Creed

The GRAMMY® and American Music Award-winning CREED formed in Tallahassee, Florida, in 1994. The more than one billion streams between “Higher,” “My Sacrifice,” “One Last Breath,” “With Arms Wide Open,” and “My Own Prison” on Spotify alone is a testament to the band’s enduring power. Nearly 30 years after CREED’s formation, the ubiquitous anthems composed by singer Scott Stapp and guitarist Mark Tremonti, performed for millions of fans around the world together with drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall, are part of modern rock and alternative’s DNA. My Own Prison (1997) is one of the late 20th century’s biggest debuts. Human Clay (1999) and Weathered (2001) both entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 1. Full Circle (2009), released after a hiatus, bowed at No. 1 on the Top Rock, Hard Rock, and Alternative charts and No. 2 on the Billboard 200. With more than 53 million albums sold worldwide, CREED stands alongside iconic bands like Van Halen, Guns N’ Roses, and Metallica as one of an elite few hard rock outfits to earn RIAA Diamond-certified status, for more than 11 million sales of Human Clay in the United States. After an eleven-year hiatus, Creed officially reunited in July 2023 and announced that they would be headlining two different Summer of '99 cruise festivals in April 2024 which resulted in immediate sell-outs. The band embarked on a tour of over 60 dates in 2024 across North America that resulted in countless record-breaking performances and has propelled Creed into the mainstream consciousness once again.

Cameron Whitcomb

One of the most captivating new songwriters of his generation, Cameron Whitcomb turns the most candid details of his real-life experience into songs with a strangely exhilarating power. Recently named to coveted lists including both Spotify and Amazon Music’s 2025 Artists To Watch and featured globally on the cover of Apple Music’s Today Country, the 21-year-old musician earned major acclaim with last year’s Quitter EP, a boldly autobiographical collection partly inspired by his journey in overcoming addiction with its standout soul-searching title track, and his spellbinding follow-up single, “Medusa” (both hits on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100). As he launches into his most dynamic chapter to date, Whitcomb now shares a larger-than-life single called “Hundred Mile High”: a breakneck-paced anthem that brings a frenetic new energy to his wildly colorful yet deeply lived-in storytelling.

Hailing from British Columbia’s Vancouver Island, Whitcomb left home at age 17 and got a job working on a pipeline, later spending much of his downtime singing karaoke and posting covers on Reddit. When an American Idol executive took note of his undeniable vocal talent, he landed a spot on the show’s 20th season and emerged as a top 20 finalist, then immersed himself in learning to write songs while deep in the process of getting sober. After making his label debut with “Rocking Chair” (a spring 2024 release that amassed over 40 million combined views across socials prior to its premiere), Whitcomb took off on a fast ascent that soon found him embarking on his first-ever headline run, the sold-out Quitter Tour. Along with gearing up for the Hundred Mile High Tour—his biggest headline run to date, including stops at iconic venues like New York City’s Bowery Ballroom—he’s now at work on more new music spotlighting the raw emotional honesty of his one-of-a-kind songwriting.
