Post-grunge rock band Creed has sold over 53 million albums worldwide since forming in Tallahassee in 1994. They were the ninth best-selling musical act of the 2000s. During the Texas Rangers' run to winning the World Series in 2023, the players regularly used Creed’s “Higher” as motivation, causing the band’s streaming numbers shoot up for the first time in years. Creed has since seen a major resurgence in popularity, especially their hit “One Last Breath,” which recently became popular on TikTok. The band is touring with Mammoth WVH and Daughtry as part of their Summer of ‘99 Tour.
When: Wednesday, August 6, 7:30 pm
Where: North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre, 2050 Entertainment Circle, Chula Vista. northislandcreditunionamp.com
