Collective Soul and Live announce co-headlining summer tour

‘90s alternative rock bands Collective Soul and Live will reunite for a trek across North America this summer.

Revealed today, the trek will kick off on July 8 at Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre, and it’ll conclude on August 29 at Grantville’s Hollywood Casino at Penn Race Course. Our Lady Peace and Greylin James Rue will join the tour as special guests. This will be the first time Collective Soul and Live toured together since their 2008 co-headlining run.

Live’s Ed Kowalczyk said this about touring with Collective Soul again:

“+LIVE+ is thrilled to be joining forces with the amazing Collective Soul! The great vibes between our two bands on and offstage is something we have both enjoyed for years, and here we come in 2025! This will be a very special night of music for all of the fans; I know everyone is gonna get rocked and uplifted right along with us…come on out!”

Collective Soul’s Ed Roland also said:

“It was August 1994, and we, Collective Soul, were on our way to Woodstock. As our van pulled up to the grounds, another one pulled up beside us and out jumped the band +LIVE+. We became immediate friends, exchanging guitar picks with each other as soon as we met. Since that day, the Ed and Ed show has been nothing but pure, genuine friendship, and rock and roll. We’re excited that 31 years later, we still not only enjoy each other’s company, but enjoy playing music. It’s going to be a fun summer sharing it with fans, friends and +LIVE+.”
