The two bands, who famously clashed during the summer of 2000, are officially putting old tensions behind them for one of the most anticipated live rock events of 2026.
This two-day blowout delivers a stacked lineup of platinum-selling heavyweights and rising rock voices. On Saturday, July 18, Limp Bizkit will top the bill with support from Cypress Hill, Sevendust, Kittie, and Puddle of Mudd on the “Higher” Main Stage. The “Are You Ready” Side Stage will feature Magnolia Park, The Pretty Wild, Slay Squad, and more. On Sunday, July 19, CREED will close the festival with Bush, Mammoth, Candlebox, and Hoobastank on the Main Stage, while the Side Stage hosts Sleep Theory, Big Wreck, The Verve Pipe, and Ashes of Billy.

ABOUT CREED:
GRAMMY® and American Music Award–winning rock band CREED formed in Tallahassee, Florida, in 1994. With more than one billion Spotify streams across hits such as “Higher,” “My Sacrifice,” “One Last Breath,” “With Arms Wide Open,” and “My Own Prison,” their music continues to resonate with new generations.
Nearly 30 years later, the songs crafted by vocalist Scott Stapp, guitarist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips remain essential to modern rock and alternative music.
CREED’s 1997 debut My Own Prison stands among the most successful rock breakthroughs of the late ’90s. Its successors, Human Clay (1999) and Weathered (2001), both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with Human Clay earning RIAA Diamond certification for more than 11 million U.S. sales—placing the band among a rare class that includes Van Halen, Guns N’ Roses, and Metallica. Their 2009 reunion album Full Circle debuted at No. 1 on the Top Rock, Hard Rock, and Alternative charts and No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
After an eleven-year hiatus, CREED officially reunited in July 2023. Their announcement as headliners for two ‘Summer of ’99’ cruise festivals in April 2024 sold out immediately, setting the stage for a major resurgence. The band followed with more than 60 tour dates in 2024 and another 30 dates in 2025, including their own two-day land-based festival—drawing record-breaking crowds and firmly reestablishing CREED at the forefront of the rock mainstream.
