'90s Rock Band Announces Massive Show With Iconic Special Guests

Creed is back on the road, or in this case, the sea.

The American rock band announced via Instagram on Friday that fans can sign up for presale access to their annual Summer of ’99 and Beyond Cruise. The annual rock music festival is held on the Norwegian Joy, and headlined by the band Creed. Departing from Miami to the Bahamas, it features a weekend filled with live performances, theme nights and activities geared toward late 1990s and early 2000s rock music.

“Are you ready? We’re running it back for YEAR 4, sailing from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay, April 17-21, 2027,” the band wrote as their caption. “Join the presale NOW.”

Creed will be joined by special guests Breaking Benjamin and Sevendust, as well as performances by Zach Myers, Hoobastank, Our Lady Peace, Hinder, Fuel, Drowning Pool, Fastball, Sponge, The Flys, Ashes of Billy and more to be announced soon. The event will also be hosted by Eddie Trunk and DJ Rock Feed.

Year 3 of the Summer of ’99 Cruise is currently underway, sailing from Friday to Monday. This year, performances from Filter, Loving Colour, Black Stone Cherry, Nonpoint, Dirty Honey, Stones, Tim Montana and more, are expected to take place throughout the weekend.

In addition, guests have access to all the amazing amenities the Norwegian Joy offers, including fully stocked bars, 11 dining options, go-karts, mini-golf, multiple pools and jacuzzis, a casino, spas, fitness centers and sports courts, and much more. They also have the chance to enjoy a shore excursion to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, a private island owned by Norwegian Joy that is known for its white sand beaches and clear blue waters.

Formed by Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, Brian Marshall and Brian Brasher in 1994 in Tallahassee, FL, Creed became very prominent in the post-grunge movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s. After breaking up in 2001, reuniting briefly in the late 2000s, and then taking a ten-year hiatus in 2013, the group released four studio albums, and their second record, Human Clay, received diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America. Creed has sold over 28 million records in the United States, over 53 million albums worldwide, and was the ninth best-selling musical act of the 2000s.

In July 2023, Creed announced that they had reunited and would be headlining the Summer of ’99 cruise in April 2024. Since then, they have held the rock festival annually, selling out the previous three cruises.

“I didn’t know how people would react. It’s been 10 years since we’ve hit the road, so it was great to see everybody so excited about it, and we’re pumped,” Tremonti said on AXS Power TV in 2023, months after they announced the first cruise.

Fans can sign up for the presale of the 2027 Summer of ’99 and Beyond Cruise, which will take place on April 17-21, 2027, docking from Miami. More information can be found on the event’s official website.
