NewsBLITZ: STIMULATE THIS!

The Stimulate This! Tour will roll across the USA this summer delivering maximum rock at a minimal price. On the bill? Staind, Shinedown, Chevelle and Halestorm.


By working with some of the venues the tour will be hitting, most tickets will remain under $40—and venues with lawn seats may sell those tickets for as low as $10! Also, there will be special promotions at many of the venues such as discounts on concessions, store discounts at local retailers and online rebates for band merch.

And, Atlantic Records will be giving away a pair of tickets to five lucky fans in each city who can give a good reason as to why they need a free night of music. Details on this contest will be available soon at AtlanticRecords.com.

"Wall Street got its bailout—now it's time for rock fans to get theirs," says Staind frontman Aaron Lewis. "This summer, we want to give our fans one night where they can forget about everything else and experience a great rock show!" Adds Shinedown singer Brent Smith: "It's our job...our privilege to offer fans an escape. Teaming up with these other great bands, we're doing what we can to help lift everyone's spirits in these tough times.... The power of music can do that!"
