STAIND Unleashes Second Leg of 'Break The Cycle' Anniversary Tour

The metal gods have smiled upon us! STAIND, the Grammy-nominated titans of the early 2000s, are back with a vengeance, announcing a second leg of their sold-out "Break The Cycle 25th Anniversary Tour." This isn't just a nostalgic trip down memory lane; it’s a full-throttle celebration of an album that defined a generation.

Released in 2001 via Flip Records, "Break The Cycle" didn’t just break the charts; it obliterated them, achieving a seven-times platinum certification and selling over seven million copies in the U.S. alone. This collection of angst-riddled anthems spent three weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. album charts, and its impact reverberated globally. With streams surpassing a staggering one billion in the lead-up to the tour, 2026 is shaping up to be the band’s most explosive year yet.

Frontman Aaron Lewis reflects on the wild journey, reminiscing about his first encounter with guitarist Mike Mushok back in '93. "If you told me we would be doing this in 2026, I'd have laughed at you," Lewis divulges. But laugh he may, as the band prepares to hit the road once more, backed by the thunderous support of fellow rockers Seether and Hoobastank, with Hinder joining for every date except Cleveland.

Mark your calendars! The tour kicks off on March 6 at SNHU Arena in Manchester, before tearing through cities like Pittsburgh, Dallas, and Seattle, culminating in a grand finale at Rocket Arena in Cleveland on April 16. This is not just a tour; it’s a resurrection, a chance for fans old and new to dive headfirst into the cathartic soundscape that STAIND has painstakingly crafted over the decades.

Tickets are set to vanish faster than a shot of whiskey at a metal show, with presale options kicking off October 7. Spotify Premium subscribers get the first crack at these coveted passes through the new Reserved program, offering fans a taste of exclusivity as they secure their spots in rock history.
