SKILLET and THEFT have just been confirmed as special guests for select dates on CREED‘s “$20-10 $Tour” dates, with RED also appearing at several concerts. As previously announced, “The $20-$10 Tour” kicks offon July 28^th in Washington D.C., and was named because the first 2,010 reserved seats are $20 all-in. This means fans pay a flat rate with no added service charges, and the remaining seats will be priced at $20 or $10, plus applicable ticketing fees. A full itinerary and lineup can be found below.

GRAMMY-nominated recording group SKILLET is set to take their explosive live show on the road once again in support of their highly acclaimed album, AWAKE, which made a blockbuster debut on the Billboard 200, entering the chart at #2. The album continues to reign as a favorite, ascending the upper half of the Billboard 200. AWAKE is highlighted by the Top 5 Active Rock smash, “Monster” and the electrifying, “Hero,” which is currently Top 25 at the format.

THEFT‘s spiraling anthem “Breathing Underwater” became the theme for the late DJ AM‘s much-publicized intervention series, Gone Too Far, and the blistering and emotional song “Never Be The Same” was chosen as the theme song for the upcoming MTV show ‘If You Really Knew Me,’ premiering later in 2010. The band was recently honored to write original music for the award winning documentary show “True Life” as the series’ first guest composers.

Formed in Nashville, Tennessee over four years ago, RED made an immediate impact with its 2006 Grammy-nominated debut album, End of Silence, which featured the band’s signature sound of sonic layering, rich orchestration and visceral dynamics on the rock radio hits “Breathe Into Me” and “Already Over.” Red brought back producer Rob Graves and mixer Ben Grosse for their second album, Innocence & Instinct, whichboasted their Top 10 rock radio hit “Death of Me.” Innocence & Instinct earned Red a 2010 Grammy nomination for the Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album, and the band won “Rock Album Of The Year” at the 2010 Dove Awards.Red’s nearly non-stop road experience has included tours with artists such as Papa Roach, Sevendust, Three Days Grace, Flyleaf, Buckcherry and Seether, among others.

“The $20-$10 Tour” will feature new songs from CREED such as “Rain,” “Overcome” and”A Thousand Faces”from Full Circle, the band’s 2009 release and first new album in eight years, as well as hits such as “Higher,” “My Sacrifice,” “With Arms Wide Open,””One”and “What’s This Life For.”

Creed has sold close to 35 million albums and has performed live in front of millions since forming in 1995. Creed was the first act to have seven consecutive number one rock radio singles, four of which came off of their debut album, 1997’s My Own Prison. That album has sold more than six million copies in the U.S., and the follow-up, Human Clay, was certified Diamond for sales in excess of 11 million copies. Weathered, their third album, tied The Beatles’ Anthology for the most consecutive weeks at number one on Billboard‘s Top 200 chart. After disbanding in 2003, Creed reunited for a three-month North American tour in the fall of 2009. Following the tour, the band released their fourth album, Full Circle, which debuted on Billboard’s Top 200 chart at number two, behind Michael Jackson’s This Is It. Creed has received numerous accolades, including several American Music and Billboard Awards, and the band won the GRAMMY for Best Rock Song for “With Arms Wide Open.”
