Stone Temple Pilots Are Performing 'Purple' In Its Entirety Next Week

When Stone Temple Pilots released Perdida, their second album with singer Jeff Gutt, earlier this year they had plans to tour. Unfortunately, the 15-date trek was canceled due to Gutt needing surgery on a herniated disc, and once the pandemic hit the band was unable to reschedule dates.

Adamant on playing together, STP decided to dedicate livestreams to their iconic albums. In July, they played their freshman effort Core in its entirety, and now they're doing the same thing with their seminal second record, Purple.

The special concert will be taking place on October 16 at 8pm EST/5pm PST. Fans are able to purchase tickets for $10 or opt for a merch bundle that comes with a commemorative t-shirt. Get ticket info here and check out STP's announcement below.

Ahead of the Core performance, guitarist Dean DeLeo explained why STP decided to get on the livestream train. "Look, we're all itchin' to just get out and play," he said. "You know we had over a hundred shows pulled out from under us this year. Everything. Not rescheduled — canceled — and there's nothing on the books for 2021, so it's just like, 'Let's do something! Let's play!'"
